"I am going to give it all up, go and live in the country, buy a little cottage with roses around the door and live a simple and stress free life. I will start again, maybe start my own small business, or I will paint or write. I will grow my own vegetables, keep a few free-range chickens, walk everyday through the woods and fields and spend the evening sipping wine watching the sun go down."

"Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, conducted investigations into the correlation between emotional make up and physical musculature. He generally found that his patients with repressed emotions evidenced this in their body structures through tightened, contracted muscles. Various emotions which were “held in” related to specific muscles. If the tensioning of these muscles was not released by other means, the muscular rigidity set in place, and, with continued suppressive behavior, became permanent. Reich termed this phenomena “muscle armoring”, an analogy to the metal armor of a medieval knight. Reich saw the contractions of muscles as an “emotional armor” protection created by mind and body, caused from emotional defensiveness."
