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.
