does anybody here have any experience or knowledge about Reichian therapy?
ive attached a book that discusses his exercises and therapy - but it all seems very intense/ risky / a tremendous task to go ahead with alone. ive only read the first 150 or so pages and some of chapter 23 (on psychology)
a large part of the book is discussing the use of hyperventilation - this seems kinda scary and potentially dangerous to me, what do you folks think??

my personal situation:
i find my main drive these days is to search for the various potential causes of my energetic 'blocks'. My eating, temperature and cognition is very much in check, yet i still feel tension in my body (neck, shoulders, scalp, behind knees / cant touch toes etc), and my emotions are not at ease, ie i can't "think what i want to think" / life doesn't feel particularly wonderful (well it does at times, though nowhere near as often as it ought to). Im very driven to getting better, but i basically have depression. i have periods where i feel great and form meaningful connections with people, and then they all apart and cause a deep disturbing primal sense of ostracism/ lack of belonging.
you see i 'intellectually' know all the actions i need to take in my life to make it become great, but in my body i just don't 'feel good' enough to execute them. when im upset i feel an aching in my solar plexus and in my throat.
i believe an internal, bodily feeling of security and prosperity / love - is needed for success, relationships etc
-
this is why i'm looking into Riechian therapy - because of the pattern to these emotions in my life i suspect it has something to do energetically with my body / stored trauma.
over the last couple years since discovering peat i have naturally gained a broader level of introspection and have corrected many deeply maladaptive behaviours / character traits.
however its only when i smoke marijuana or when i take several drops of progesterone - do i have access to the amazing gut feeling of "being a part of things" / connection to people. Is the progesterone momentarily loosening the character armour?
can anybody vouch for Wilhelm Riech?
