A modern, energy-based approach to healing abdominal discomfort

Dr. Geoff DePaula, a doctor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine with 25+ years of experience, presented on combining Sonic Therapeutics with Japanese abdominal diagnosis and Five Element Theory.
🔹 Five Element Diagnostic Framework
Based on East Asian medical theory: Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, Wood.
Earth Element (Spleen/Stomach): Digestive health, muscles, energy levels, and overthinking.
Imbalances show up as bloating, sweet cravings, bruising, fatigue, and worry.
Other areas/elements are mapped around the navel and abdomen using light and deep palpation.
🔹 Abdominal Diagnosis Process
Self-assessment involves lying down and pressing on mapped abdominal areas.
Look for:

Identify the most symptomatic area, this becomes the focus for treatment.
🔹 Treatment Guidelines
One 10-minute audio per session (looping allowed).
Treat only one element at a time, most symptomatic zone.
Results may appear in:
10 mins: Local tenderness reduces
30-60 mins: Subjective improvements (e.g. bloating, comfort)
No harm in overuse, but diminishing returns apply after 20-30 mins.

The “Invisible” Family Pattern That Shapes Your Boundaries

What “enmeshment trauma” is (relational family trauma): blurred boundaries between parent + child, emotional fusion, and feeling responsible for a parent’s stability and happiness.
Common survival patterns it creates: perfectionism/overachievement, chronic people-pleasing, hypervigilance, “peacemaker” behavior, fear of upsetting others, and disconnect from your real desires.
Why it’s so common: often rooted in the parent’s own unresolved trauma (intergenerational, war trauma, family dysfunction), which gets passed down unintentionally.
Fight/flight/freeze… and “fawn”: how survival-based emotional reflexes (especially fawn/freeze responses) show up in adulthood as anxiety and difficulty asserting independence.
Healing priorities: Geoff emphasized starting with healthy boundaries, safety, and security, because these are the first things trauma tends to injure.
Treating the family system: discussion on how healing can deepen when you address trauma patterns across generations (parents/grandparents), not just the individual.
Platform update: Geoff shared that the team is moving more audios to the new Mirsonics web app, including controls for sensitivity levels and the extend-audio feature for safer listening.

A deeper look at how trauma can shape the body and mind, and what the Africa case stories reveal about healing at the root.

Special guest Nico (from the Netherlands) shares in-the-trenches context from Peter’s early work in Africa, case documentation, clinics, and data gathering.
Real case stories from Congo: how deep trauma (including sexual violence and war trauma) showed up as fear, nightmares, constant reliving, and loss of joy, and what changed after support.
Trauma → physical symptoms connection (women’s health, digestion, pain, immune function): how emotional trauma can show up in the body years later.
How the method works in Africa vs the U.S.: liquids (“version 1.0”) vs audio delivery (“version 2.0”) and why audio allows better tracking and consistency.
Generational trauma & epigenetics: how trauma can impact physiology across generations (and why this matters for healing).
Program updates: vision program check-ins + a quick note that the menopause app is now free (and Android is in progress).
What’s coming next: improved tracking + a stronger analytics platform to better understand what’s working and why.
