Quote by Laurence Galian

“Reich’s genius birthed tools we’ve yet to fully grasp: his character armor and muscular armoring concepts seeded ego psychology, body psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy (Fritz Perls), bioenergetic analysis (Alexander Lowen), primal therapy (Arthur Janov), and the Radix of Charles R. Kelley. Beyond these, his mind-body vision ripples through newer somatic therapies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries: Somatic Experiencing (Peter A. Levine), healing trauma via bodily sensations; Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Pat Ogden), merging somatic and cognitive trauma work; Core Energetics (John Pierrakos), blending bioenergetics with spirit; Hakomi Therapy (Ron Kurtz), mindful body-centered discovery; Bodynamic Analysis (Lisbeth Marcher), trauma through body-mind interplay; and Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®, David Berceli), freeing tension with neurogenic tremors.”

“Reich described the redirection of unmet desires as sublimation, in which natural libidinal urges and raw bodily drives for connection and release transform into abstract spiritual ideals. For him, such ideals suppress rather than liberate.”

“In the 1930s, Reich began to measure these energetic shifts in therapy. He noticed that real arousal causes the skin’s electrical charge to rise, especially in the sensitive areas of the body.”

“Einheit ist Göttlichkeit (Sonett) Kein Über, kein Mensch, Ich bin der göttliche Wahnsinn. Dienen ist die größte Weisheit, Gleichheit ist das höchste Dasein. Ich bin der Feind jedes Reiches - Göttlich durch Tat, nicht durch Dekret. Einheit ist Göttlichkeit, vorurteile abzulehnen ist die höchste Form der Spiritualität. Mein Traum ist mein Recht - mein Leiden ist meine Heilung - mein Leben ist mein Entwurf - meine Wahrheit, meine Entscheidung. Meine Gesellschaft, meine Gerechtigkeit – meine Welt ist meine Verantwortung. Stärker als die Atombombe, Ich bin die neurochemische Kriegsführung.”

“Sometimes Carlie hands me the squirt bottle of "Bam" (an acronym for something that begins, ominously, with "butyric" - the rest of it has been worn off the label) and lets me do the bathrooms. No service ethic challenges me here to new heights of performance. I just concentrate on removing the pubic hairs from the bathtubs, or at least the dark ones that I can see.”
