Dearmoring Sessions
In-person. Approximately 120 minutes
In a dearmoring session, we work with the layer of defensive tension, or armor, that is built up throughout our life on the physical, mental and emotional levels to defend against painful situations. We may experience its presence as physical pain, emotional difficulties, mental stuckness, energetic blockages, etc. A lasting trauma or stress response of various levels of intensity is often created when a stressful or scarring event happens in the absence of the holding, mirroring and reassurance we need to process our experience in a healthy manner. When this kind of loving support isn’t present, we engrain in ourselves a strong reactive pattern as a defense, and often end up walking around with it for the rest of our lives. The totality of these physical tensions and mental and emotional defenses is what is referred to as the “armor”. The term “dearmouring” was first coined by Wilhelm Reich, but the dearmoring process itself is an ancient method used throughout history to release old built-up obstructions to a person’s vitality and natural life flow.
Not two dearmoring practitioners work exactly the same way. And not two sessions with the same practitioner will ever be the same. But the main goal is to work on reversing the above armoring mechanism so that the release, processing and integration that needed to happen at the time of the stressful or scarring events may finally take place and resolve the physical tension and energetic stuckness.
My personal approach combines very gentle touch, loving attunement, somatic consent, breath and voice, as needed, to encourage the body and psyche to open up and release those held-up tensions and patterns. Nothing specific “has” to happen in the session, everything is welcome. Different people experience release or catharsis differently. If you come with a willingness to open up, release and remain engaged throughout the process, you can’t go wrong.

“When Hana came I felt her very warm and gentle energy caring about my state. And I felt very safe with her. We talked for a while. It was about what do I want and what do I need from the healing process and about my current state. After that talk I was lying on the mat and Hana was sitting close by. And it seemed as a tuning in into my actual proccess.(…) Hana touched me carefully but she was totally there with me holding my process, helping my body to express something stuck. She also talked and her voice was so full of compassion and her words were so exactly right to me at that moment. And I could go through very difficult feelings which felt as if they were stuck in my body from my childhood. And my body did some very strong movements expressing these feelings. (…) Next I felt great slow relief. (…) It was very beautiful. And some words came to me: my pelvis is mine! (…) This session has changed me in the most beautiful way. And it affects my life now, the quality of it every day. I am so grateful to Hana for this deep, deep changing experience. I recommend her as a healer with all my heart.”
