Have you ever wondered why so many women feel shy about showing emotions?
Itโs often not just personal - itโs structural.
In Reichian psychology, we talk about character structures: deep patterns that shape not just our feelings but our posture, breath, and movement. These are like invisible stories stored in the body - patterns formed by early emotional experiences.
When women hold back tears, tone down joy, or silence angerโฆ itโs often because their body armor is doing exactly what it was built to do: protect.
But that protection can also mean tension, blocked breath, and a disconnection from the fullness of expression.
Emotions need motion. When we understand how structure shapes behavior - and how behavior shapes structure - we unlock the true potential for healing from the inside out.
Which character structure you relate to?
