Character Structures are defence patterns we develop as children in response to unmet emotional needs or early trauma.

This structure often manifests as heightened sensitivity and creativity; it can also bring challenges in relationships and embodiment.

The loss of trust in caregivers (and eventually, others) is a hallmark of what Wilhelm Reich called the "Oral Character Structure," or the "Needy Child."

This Structure experiences deep internal conflict, where their natural impulses to assert themselves and express emotions are stifled by the need to conform.
