Tourmaline Body Therapy, Unarmor the Body, was developed by Mary Anderson after the insights of Wilhelm Reich, a 20th century psychoanalyst. He was the first to identify through character analysis something he called character traits. He claims such traits were reactions to the person's rejected emotions. Reich claimed these character traits are maintained in place by body armor, an actual tightening of the muscles of the body. He felt that people developed rigid personalities made up of various aspects - these aspects, unexamined became rigid states as opposed to flexible choices. These rigid states developed in the body segment that suffered through repeated conditions of rejection, trauma and/or abuse. He further discovered that physical manipulations on these areas helped clients to release the body armor, and from there to begin to disassemble the ineffective character traits. Tourmaline Body Therapy (TBT) is a way of uncovering the unconscious patterns we've chosen that bind us to our physical realities of destructive behaviors and rigid states. Once recognition of our patterns are observed and we begin to recognize them as they occur in our lives, we realize the possibility of change exists as we open the door to choice and a new way of living. Each TBT session starts with the practitioner and client working as a team to assess and search out those rigid areas. Then using techniques of massage, breathing, sounding, energy release techniques and recognition of character traits the transformational process begins. For more information, please contact us. |
