De-Armouring Training Courses and Workshops in the UK

Further below in this post, you’ll find an overview of teachers and trainers that offer Body De-Armouring courses and classes in the United Kingdom.

Body De-Armouring — also written Dearmouring or in American English as Dearmoring — has become a popular form of emotional and trauma release, practiced by an increasing number of somatic psychologists and massage and bodywork therapists.

The concept of Emotional Armouring and subsequent De-Armouring was pioneered by the Austrian physician and psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897 – 1957), and is a way of explaining unconscious physical tensions and restrictions in the body as a reaction to suppressed or repressed traumatic emotional and psychological experiences.

Reich’s work led to the birth of what currently is called Body Psychotherapy, Body-oriented Psychotherapy or Somatic Psychology, a field of Mind-Body therapies that aim at healing physical, emotional, mental, and sexual injuries and traumas through body awareness, massage, bodywork, talk therapy, exercise and movement.

A broad range of other somatic therapies, such as massage therapy, breathwork, dance and movement therapy, Sexological Bodywork, Somatic Sex Coaching, Tantric Bodywork, and Yoga have integrated Body De-Armoring approaches and techniques in their sessions.

Today, you also find specialized De-Armouring treatment modalities — likewise offered as training and certification courses — many of which don’t necessarily include Psychotherapy, although some form of talk therapy will be practiced. Think of modalities such as Tantric De-Armouring, Neo-Reichian Massage, BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release, Radix Work, Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises, or NeuroAffective Touch®, to just give you some examples.

As a whole, one could say that Body De-Armoring treatment modalities or techniques apply a range of hands-on somatic practices such as breathwork, massage, touch, guided imagery, deep pressure, acupressure, exercises, dance, movement, and simulations of bodily or nervous system reactions in order to release the client’s physical tensions and constrictions with a final aim of releasing and healing subconscious and/or unconscious emotional hurt.

In addition, by releasing muscular and internal organ tensions, clients can also get rid of physical pains and discomforts, reduce stress levels, improve their blood circulatory and immune system, and give room for the free flow of Life Force Energy through their bodies.

The more natural flow of energy through the body typically leads to improved vitality, increased physical and mental energy, improved focus and concentration ability, unlocked creative potential, and feelings of general wellbeing. A “de-armoured person” then is much better able to explore their full potential, and can actually grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

At any rate, below then our overview of Body De-Armouring training courses, classes, and workshops offered in the UK.
