Join me on a special journey to heal early family life conditioning. We will discover how the formation of important mind-body patterns named “Character Structures” imprint the story of our childhood into our emotional and physical body.

Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychoanalyst, identified five primary character types or structures, within the human psyche that tend to dominate our personality. Each of us may exhibit one or two types, yet we all tend to have one dominate Character Structure which we formed to help us survive the challenges of our childhood.

Each Character Structure is represented by somatic patterns of tension, an emotional profile, and ways of relating and being in the world. And each Character Structure can be traced to a wound occurring at a specific stage of childhood development. 

Healing Developmental Trauma is a  deep exploration of these stages of our development and the patterns formed when core needs were not met: Safety, trust, healthy boundaries, respect for our needs and individuality, and emotionally attuned connection and support. The resulting developmental disruption or trauma is “hard-wired” into our body and nervous system. This wiring  creates an energetic “armour” that literally shapes our bodies and obstructs the flow of life-force energy. This hard-wired program strongly affects our behaviours, beliefs and personality – beyond conscious awareness. The armour then becomes a default program operating in the unconscious background, informing us how to live our life.
