Orgone therapy works to undo this chronic armoring.  It does so by utilizing character analysis to point out those neurotic attitudes and behaviors held by the patient.  If they can be viewed more objectively by the patient, they can begin to consider them as something foreign that doesn't feel right to the person and that they want to rid.

It also uses biophysical methods to deal with physical manifestations of armoring: dissolving the muscular tensions, acute and chronic; to assist in the breathing; to bring the rage, buried sadness and longings to the surface; to get the energy moving.

Orgone therapy works to re-establish natural pulsation in the organism.  One of the basic tools it uses is to work with the respirations of the patient to build up the charge of the organism.  This in itself can bring to the surface emotions that may be weakly defended against.  The goal, by dissolving the armor, is to allow the energy to move freely through the body so the natural pulsation of the body can occur.  The pulsation can then swing from contraction to expansion.   In the orgasm reflex one can see the full manifestation of this phenomenon.
