5 Character Structures in Professionals
Character Structures are key elements that shape your personality. They are consistent patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that endure over time and influence how you relate to others – and to yourself.
Knowing your structures not only helps you better understand yourself but also improves relationships, strengthens skills, and creates a real professional advantage in any environment.
How Are Character Structures Formed?
From your earliest years, your body and mind develop together. This process happens through a neural network that builds reaction and thought patterns, shaping how you adapt to your environment.
During this stage, your nervous system goes through a process called myelination, which begins in the womb and finishes around age five. Each phase of development is tied to a deep emotional experience, leaving marks on your body and shaping how you interpret the world.
That’s how Character Structures are formed: unique, deeply rooted adaptation mechanisms connected to your history. Understanding them allows you to make better decisions, relate with more clarity, and lead with authenticity.
This approach is based on the studies of Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen and has been refined by the Instituto O Corpo Explica, with more than 70,000 cases in 40 countries. Thanks to this knowledge, you can unleash your true potential with precise, practical tools.
The Importance of Character Structures
Your Character Structures are not labels. They are dynamic configurations that reveal how you function, how you react, and in which environments you perform best.
Understanding them is essential for your well-being, your professional growth, and the quality of your relationships. Knowing who you are – and how you operate under pressure – is an advantage very few master.
Keep in Mind Before Moving Forward:
There are no “good” or “bad” structures
Each one has its own strengths, challenges, and needs.
