I am starting this group as a reaction to what I see as a necessary, but neglected aspect of what it is to be human, and living in this age. All of us, to some degree, store emotional patterns in the body. The purpose of this storage is to protect the ego so we can maintain some stability during times of stress. This is not a flawed function of the body. The protective emotional armoring that results over time needs to be addressed otherwise there is the possibility of a progression toward vario …
