Management of Inherited Trauma with Acupuncture: Impact of Trauma on Belief systems

09.05. - 10.05.2026

Constitutions and Temperaments have a major influence on “belief” mechanisms and further influence the physiology as well as the pathology of a person. This understanding provides a key for freeing oneself from the habitual mind-sets and behaviours. Choosing acupuncture strategies and points adapted to the temperament, constitutes the art of treating a person rather than a disease.

About this course

Severe distressing events and life challenges (physical or psychological) are perceived as traumatic. But trauma may also be transmitted by the parents or the ancestors. Chinese medicine refers to this as Zong Qi ≈ Ancestral energy, one of the constituent energies at the time of conception. 

The basic “Constitution” is transmitted by the parental essences (Jing), whereas the „Temperament“ or the psycho-emotional expression of a person depends partly on the transferred family inheritance and partly on post-natal conditioning.

Constitutions and Temperaments have a major influence on “belief” mechanisms and further influence the physiology as well as the pathology of a person. This understanding provides a key for freeing oneself from the habitual mind-sets and behaviours.

Choosing acupuncture strategies and points adapted to the temperament, constitutes the art of treating a person rather than a disease.
