Many people experience a level of neediness in their life. Maybe it’s there all the time, or perhaps just at certain times of day. We try to fill the hole with eating, shopping, scrolling online, smoking, alcohol, drugs or other habits. We try to distract ourselves from it. But it never goes away, always coming back to demand more.

In Reichian Therapy, this condition is known as having “Oral Character Structure.” Usually there was some level of physical or emotional disconnection from the mother in the first year of our life and this got stored as a sense of lack, deep inside our belly. We don’t feel this lack directly but it acts like a kind of black hole inside us, causing us to feel needy and become over-focused on connection with others.

Needy people typically struggle to feel natural anger because it could lead to a loss of connection. They tend to be “pleasers” – they will do anything, or be anyone, to avoid confrontation. They can be beautiful people but struggle to assert themselves and often get used as “doormats” by others.

In this weekend workshop, you will learn Bioenergetic techniques to fill up the inner hole and will take part in confrontational structures to restore your access to natural anger, leaving you feeling less needy and more powerful, able to state boundaries clearly and take a position for yourself.

Please be aware that this weekend will be at times emotionally intense and confrontational. Please check in with yourself that you feel ready for this.

Devaraj teaches in simple English, speaking slowly and not using technical language. You will need to be comfortable with basic English to take part.
