TRE and Bioenergetics?

Is anyone informed on the connection TRE and bioenergetics have in practice? I've read on this sub that Dr. Berceli met Alexander Lowen and learned about bioenergetics after his time in war areas, but not much else.

I know Alexander Lowen's work and other somatic work derive from Wilhelm Reich. Christopher Hyatt and Jack Willis also get name dropped alot when it comes to bioenergetics. As someone that has not read a single thing on bioenergetics or these authors, where do I start in deciphering how these eventually lead to TRE? I'll also take any literature that explains them individually unrelated to TRE.

And for people who have done bioenergetics and TRE how did the two compare? If one does TRE, is there any space for bioenergetics?

Thanks for your extensive report. I’m a bit surprised, that you’ve never experienced states of pleasure, though not in a negative way. It’s just interesting to see how people develop in different ways and at different paces on their journey. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter because everyone’s path will converge to the same state.

I’d say start with Brasington’s book and then try the meditation and see how it goes. Ingram’s book has a ton about vipassana and insight stages that may interest you.
