Character armor

The character armor is a concept of Wilhelm Reich: it corresponds to the global nature of the emotional attitudes which an individual develops as defense against the emotional excitements. It is a résultant neuro-muscular as adaptation of the person to the rigidity of its emotional environment, a compromise totally integrated both from the point of view of the muscle structure and of the nervous system between the drives of energy towards the world, and what this one tolerates him/her of pleasure and under which shape.
