Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy
(TRET)®

Energy Psychotherapy
For over 20 years, Southeast Institute has offered advanced training in Energy Psychotherapy, including certification in Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET)® developed by Vann Joines, Ph.D.
Energy Psychotherapy combines energy-based techniques (working with the body’s subtle energy systems, including meridians and energy centers) with traditional
psychotherapy to create rapid, lasting change. It is particularly effective in clearing trauma from the body, freeing clients from its lingering effects.
Rooted in healing traditions from ancient China, India, and beyond, these methods have evolved into modern practices such as acupuncture, Reiki, EFT, TFT, Advanced Integrative Therapy, and more—now integrated into psychotherapy for powerful results.
Our Certification program in TRET offers two Levels:
-
Level I – Certification as a TRET Practitioner
-
Level II – Certification as a TRET Instructor
Level I – Certified TRET Practitioner
Level I begins with a TRET Basics Workshop teaching about trauma, how it is held energetically in the body and how to clear it. This is followed by a Seven-Week Online Supervision Seminar in which participants make two case presentations for supervision of clients with whom they are working.
Next is a TRET Advanced Workshop teaching advanced protocols and techniques for furthering the effectiveness of this powerful approach for clearing trauma. An additional Seven-Week Supervision Seminar is provided in which participants present two more cases of their clients for supervision. At the end of this second seminar, participants are certified as TRET Practitioners and listed on our website.
Level II – Certified TRET Instructor
Level II consists of co-teaching a TRET Basics Workshop and a TRET Advanced Workshop as well as co-leading the Seven-Week Supervision Seminars with a Certified TRET Instructor and Supervisor. Upon approval of their supervisor, participants are Certified as a TRET Instructor.
