Episode Notes

Notes go hereIn episode 4, part 1 of the new “Bio-Individual” podcast, we’re taking a look at Wilhelm Reich and Reichian therapy from a perspective of individuals who have used it for many years. Throwing around some ideas on Reich, where he was wrong and where he right.

We're going to explore the basics of tension and release, character in a Reichian sense, and if this form of therapy can be of use to individuals.

We all have different strengths and weaknesses, which is why it's so important to find a practitioner that is tailored to your individual needs. In this video, I'll discuss the Bio-Individual: The Badly Wired Human Brain & Psycho-Physiological Practice, and how it can help you Better Understand Yourself & Improve Your Practice.
