Emotions, Energy and Armor
Using Orgonomic-Reichian Therapy in Your Practice
Hugh Brenner
Description
Orgonomic Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach grounded in the principles established by Dr. Wilhelm Reich. Over the past 60+ years, these principles have been further developed and expanded upon by clinical practitioners, also known as Orgonomists. It is a depth therapy based on psychodynamic Character Analysis, body-oriented therapy and Orgone Therapy, an energetic modality. It is not a set of techniques applied in a proscribed format but an energetic “dance” based on basic principals Reich discovered. I have found these basic principles to be very reliable markers of the client’s health and an excellent basis for theraputic progress towards a deeper connection to self and the world.If one is aware of these basic principals they can be combined with various other modalities or tools. Topics and principles addressed in this program include:
- Understanding the basic elements of Orgone Therapy
- Assessment of flow - Pulsation and Armor
- Segmental arrangement of energetic body
- Disassociation; Armor in muscle, brain, breath, emotions, character and contact
- Methods to increase emotional contact, decrease disassociation
Learning Objectives:
- Ability to conduct a beginning energetic assessment
- Recognize the effect of eye armor as it restricts emotional contact and cognitive function.
- Get a client out of their head.
- Light, movement, muscular manipulation
- Working the eyes to begin to mobilize depth and range of emotion
- Picking up cues as to where to go next, following the client’s lead.
Participants will learn:
- The basic elements of Orgone Psychotherapy, as applicable to other therapeutic modalities.
- This seminar will have a particular focus on diagnosis and treatment of disassociation, clients in poor ocular contact.
- Who to be extra cautious with, what not to do.
