Tourmaline Body Therapy, Unarmoring the Body, is a developmental process triggered from 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. The character traits are maintained in place by body armor. He felt that people developed rigid personalities made up of various aspects - these aspects, unexamined became rigid states as opposed to flexible choices. Reich claimed that character traits were held in place by these body armors, which is an actual tightening of the muscles of the body. He further discovered that physical manipulations on these areas helped clients to break open the body armor, and from there to begin to disassemble the ineffective character traits. Each Tourmaline Body Therapy session starts with the therapist and client working as a team to assess and search out those rigid areas. Then using techniques of massage, breathing, sounding and recognition of character traits the healing process begins. Tourmaline Body Therapy progresses best when used in conjunction with talk therapy. For more information, please contact us. |
