Embodied Psychotherapy, Spiritual Recapitulation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (Qíng Zhì Bìng – 情志病)

The context of mental and emotional well being hits an intuitive nerve.

If another person, or ourselves, is experiencing some form of inner or outward behavioral disturbance, what should we do?

We can all appreciate the erosive nature of trauma, long term distress, chronic illness, a person in shock, or the slippery slope of emotional overwhelm.

We all do our best to understand and be supportive when meeting a person experiencing cognitive disorientation or decline.

This is human empathy. Like belonging, it is a social instinct.

“The Mind and Body Meet in Sensation”

The Heart/Mind and the Body move forward and backward like our left foot and right foot. Every serious mental, emotional, or physical wound, is a step backwards (metaphorically) and every treatment, therapy session, and personal realization is a step forward.

Being traumatized or wounded and finding a way to heal is a very personal, and for many a profoundly Spiritual journey of becoming a whole and authentic self.

If there is a Spiritual ‘formula’ to many of the ancient traditions it is acceptance, reintegration, realignment, and recapitulation.

Acceptance is not a passive state, it is the moment that we take complete responsibility for our past, our future, and how we navigate all of our relationships.

Reintegration is the experience of not being fractured, alone, or separate, on many levels. Sometimes this is reconnecting parts of ourselves on the inside, and sometimes it is being met as a more whole and adaptive expression of ourselves.

Realignment is the opportunity to rediscover our deepest truths, while transforming through a connection with our authentic self, with others, and with the Universe as we understand it.

Recapitulation is the process of healing past traumas through hands on treatments, coregulation practices like ceremony, dance, group circles and counselling when we are with others. When we are alone, Somatic Trauma Release practices, and through immersive Spiritual practices like Inner Cultivation, Meditation, and Prayer.

There are many ancient practices that evolved in times of need long ago. Those practices will always be relevant in times of need.

“Feeling is the state necessary for healing!”

How are you at feeling your feelings?

Is an intentional pause to check in with yourself more stressful, or is it like bathing in warmth, connection, and self care?

If it is more stressful to check in, what do you do to check out?

There are many ancient and contemporary practices to help you relearn the ways of cultivating self awareness and conscious embodiment. The value of being open to feeling the hardest parts of life ensure you are on a path to finding and feeling the truth of who you are.

Relearning to feel all of your sensations, emotions, intuitions, instincts, visceral aliveness and visceral agony, your adaptive flow, and your experience of overwhelm can take some time and a lot of resources.

“To Heal emotional pain, you have to move towards the source of the pain!”

The healthiest way to heal is to follow a tried and true roadmap of interactive processes and practices. Traditional practices have the longest track record of success, because they have been and are still effective. Any approach to heeling emotional pain requires the ability stay in the ‘eye of your hurricane,’ while applying the hard-won skill of recapitulation through cultivating Self-Awareness.

To be clear, there is awareness like watching a movie, and then there is the awareness of a Spiritual Warrior committed to patience, adaptability, and compassion.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of helping people explore, understand, and transform their physical health and their inner experiential lives.

The profound understanding that TCM has of Mental and Emotional distress includes a ‘physiology’ of Sentience, Cognition, and Emotionality, that can be harmed or healed through your Organs, Qi Functions, and Meridian Circulation.

Thousands of years of wisdom tells us that each emotion we have comes from an innate and invaluable instinct. Your instinctual and visceral drives and reactions are directly connected to your internal organs and can affect their ability to function.

This is why long-term emotional distress can be so destructive to your health.

It is also why people in poor health are less able to regulate and resolve strong emotional distress and trauma.

Qing Zhi Bing (the psychiatry and psychotherapy of TCM) also includes an understanding of Ancestral Trauma that can help people come into contact with their sense of Soul, while also facing their families ‘Ghosts.’

As you become more connected with your healthy instincts and intuition, your thoughts and feelings begin to come back into harmony with your daily life.

The opposite is also true.

If your Vitality (as Qi and Meridians), or your Embodiment (as Somatic sensations and Organ functions) become overworked, under-supported, stuck, or exhausted, your mental, emotional, and Spiritual/Existential experience will also be affected.

Having a predictable and consistent understanding of the physiology of experience and embodiment, and there are many predictable patterns and needs to that subject, is the only way to understand what has gone wrong, why, and what can be done about it in a holistic way.

Throughout this course, a medically scientific understanding will also be included when it is the most relevant and helpful.

“Fitting in produces anxiety, while belonging is an instinct!”

Your personality, adaptability, and sense of Self develop in an environment of needs, connection, and meaning.

There are six ways that we learn, grow, and become a complete self. They are:

• Instinctually
• Viscerally
• Intuitively
• Emotionally
• Egoically
• Existentially

These are the ways we develop patters, some urgent and some wise. As children we have no other choice than to keep up, run, or hide. It is those patterns that need to be met as adults.

It is those early patterns that make us so loaded that we can be easily triggered!

As modern culture is becoming more self-reflective, the subject of Developmental Psychology has changed significantly. Fifty years ago, the focus was getting the most out of the work force through industrial education. Presently, we are rethinking the entire structure of enforced and overcrowded education.

How we raise our children has also changed considerably. From the number of children per family, to the invasion of screens over faces, young people spend a profoundly dangerous amount of time alone, comparing themselves to others. Being raised to become a curious and confident social animal is becoming the exception instead of the norm.

All forms of social polarization, from wealth disparity, extreme diets, politics, religion, are ensuring that the deepest cultural and familial grudges are well tended. Growing up in an unstable culture, with a potentially dire future, fluctuations in gender and identity has created a world where a strong sense of self is maladaptive. We become ourselves adapting to our environment, and presently our culture fears missing out more than adding individual creativity and expression. The last 20 years, more than any time in history, has created a crisis of Mental, Emotional and Existential health in our children.

Nearly 20% of children are facing diagnosable Psychiatric condition (including depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, addiction, and suicidal ideation,) That 20%, and all other children, are being raised by parents with a minimum 30%, and more likely 50% probability of a diagnosable mental or emotional ‘condition’ of overwhelm in their lifetime.

From a TCM perspective, a Qing Zhi Bing (also translatable to the wounds of Adverse Childhood Experiences), can linger and grow, building into a perfect storm of behavioral chaos and consequences that appear later in life.

Most Trauma that is predicably and easily ‘triggered’ is really about pain. A person, or a weapon, cannot be triggered unless it is already loaded and ready to explode. The Healing journey is to accept that each kind of pain comes from an unmet need, as well as accepting that most needs can only be fulfilled in the presence of others.

There are many approaches and practices to gradually work with childhood wounds. Some of these can be done alone, and some can only be done with a mentor of some kind.

As adults, one of the hardest things to accept is that we are responding to our woundedness in a wounded way. Being mad at yourself for all of your volatile behaviours is unlikely to resolve anything.

As adults with a wounded inner child, it is possible for both of you to learn to trust structure, stability, and wisdom together. It just take time and intention.

Life is hard!

Life is meant to come with bad days and rough people.

Life is also meant to come with opportunities to connect with the right people and work out how those bad days and rough people make you feel.

Anything more than rough is wrong.

Modern life is faster, more impatient, and overstimulating than any time in history. As obvious as that is, it is meant to bring up the context of adaptability.

Every living being is limited by its ability to adapt to its environment.

All animals, humans included, are born with a nervous system full of physical and social instincts. All animals are meant to grow up with parents to show them the finer details of behavior. Specifically, physical behaviors like fight, flight, and freeze, as well as social instinctual behaviors like tend, befriend, and cower.

If you have ever been through a physically overwhelming experience like a rock-climbing accident or survived a war zone, or if you have lived through ritualized physical and/or sexual violence, then that part of your nervous system is in Trauma.

That does not mean you are broken; it means it is now time to find opportunities to connect with the right people and relearn how to release the embodied memories and recapitulate the ways those days and people are still inhabiting your nervous system. Recapitulation is a way of consciously reliving a memory as a part of a practice to move through and beyond the pain and behaviours coming from that wound.

If you grew up in an environment that was physically or emotionally dangerous, unavailable, or manipulative, then it is likely your instinctual Polyvagal, or ‘Social nervous system’ is on a Trauma avoidant setting. Sometimes this defines your life through avoiding any and all risk, or for some, the need to take risks.

That does not mean you are broken; it means it is time to create opportunities to connect with the right people and relearn how to read body language and open to how it feels to belong.

Addiction is the opposite of Belonging. First, addiction separates you from your anxiety, then your pain, then your family, and then the few remaining friends that have held on as long as they could, and finally, addiction can separate you from yourself.

A primary human need is connection, mutual support, and meaningful collaboration.

In a rapidly changing, profoundly overstimulating, and socially disconnected world, many people are unsure of their place in it all.

Connection is essential

"Connecting with other gives you perspective, with connecting with yourself gives you a practice.

What we truly listen to in others, we can finally hear in ourselves”

Technically Speaking, Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships compassionately and empathetically, while also maintaining a process of self regulation, self-awareness, emotional reflection, trigger awareness, and when needed, some Trauma Release and Restoration.

Understanding the importance of your emotional life, your inner somatic and sensual life, the experience of all of your relationships, your response to intense change and boredom, is one of the most transformative choices anyone can make.

By valuing the quality of your inner life and your experience of relationship, you are free to resolve old reactive patterns and become your authentic self.

Becoming a whole person is a gradual process of individuation. This is a life-long journey of finding your authentic self, balanced by with the need for Belonging and Trust.

When we are small, we wrap our arms around our parent legs and won’t let go. As adolescents, we push our parents as far away as we can. The rate and intensity of separation in young children can define the rest of their lives.

This creates either Acceptable Distance or destructive distance.

As children, and as adults, our needs for connection and distance are very unique and different. Depending on our childhood, the dance of connection in our adult life can unfold in many ways.

Rethinking Attachment Theory

Through the lens of TCM and Qing Zhi Bing theory, a person’s attachment style is based on their Pin Ge or their Character, and the specific traumatic experiences (Qi Wounds) they have experienced. Attachment Theory offers just four styles or adaptation to long term connection, bonding and trust.

This is a good beginning, but with a deeper understanding of developmental psychology, and applying a physiology (predictable processes and needs) that includes sentience, cognition, emotionality, and the long-term effect of specific forms or trauma, how we understand and restore healthy attachment is much more individualized.

Supporting Neurodivergent Journeys

It is likely that 1 in 4 people is diagnostically Neurodivergent in some way. Although we are all unique in many ways, Neurodivergence describes a different set of needs that are much more than just preferences. A divergent path is not about better or right, it is about the freedom to learn and grow in as yet undiscovered ways.

This can become Acceptable Difference or a social impasse of difference.

Acceptable Difference and Distance is an important conversation to have. If you were to recapitulate each of your primary relationships, the ones you will never forget, what do they show you about connection in your life.

All societies exists, only because each individual decides to collaborate with the future of their society.

As individuals, we can become for, against, or ambivalent about our society, culture, or religion.  This choice has a great influence on the structure of our identity.

Every experience that tells you who you are supposed to be, influences how you structure your identity.

Where do you begin and end?

What are your for or against?

How you experience your Innate Nature, your Fate, the aging process, and your unique mortality, can all influence your sense of identity.

If your life has included Visceral and Existential pain, or profoundly Emotional or Egoic Pain, it likely that those experiences have had an influence on your sense of Self. The pain of life and the ways each of us avoids pain can define your adaptive capacities and limits.

It is also easy to accept and understand how a traumatic life and chronic distress can cause almost any physical illness.

It is easy to forget how the constant and erosive burden of chronic pain, fatigue, nausea, or a hundred other haunting symptoms of chronic illness can be traumatic, life-changing, and also self-defining. One of the core wounds of Trauma is a loss of trust in others. A loss of trust in your body is an even greater wound.

If you have experienced any form of chronic physical illness, the symptoms and limitations have most likely had an influence on how you see your self and how you think other see you.

One of the greatest challenges in Qing Zhi Bing therapy, and on the path of Meditation, is to completely accept the structure of your identity and your Self Image. Forces that are even more powerful in the age of social media.

Each person’s sense of woundedness, their volume of distress throughout a year, or on any given day, will influence their habitual patterns, addictive behaviors, and ways of acting out against life’s Forces and Limitations (Da Xian).

There are many ways to understand and accept the pain of our lives. In some healing traditions, it is necessary to create a Sacred container for all forms of pain.

Your Somatic experience is your felt sense, moment by moment, consciously attentive experience of your embodiment. Embodiment has to two sources, what you feel interactively and what you feel passively.

Like an actor, you could embody an intense interaction as a character in a play, or, like a hungry child, you will embody instinctual, visceral, emotional and existential distress every time you get hungry.

Imagine getting a whole-body massage, noticing how your muscles feel from your head to your toes. Scan your body like that for a moment. Receive every sensation.

Now imagine giving a massage, head to toe, assessing tone, injury, circulation, pain, constraint, or collapse. Scan your body like that for a moment. Interact and assess every muscle.

The first step in Conscious Embodiment and Trauma Release is accepting and exploring your Volume of Distress. Depending how wound-up, constrained, or collapsed you or I feel, the volume of distress we are embodying can be almost unnoticeable, or completely overwhelming.

Just like the volume of a stereo, or a noisy neighbor, distress can be too loud for too long.

The oldest healing traditions in the world both have embodied self-regulation, self-healing, and meditation practices. Both Yoga and Qi Gong include Embodied Trauma Release practices.

The process of Trauma release begins with understanding which embodied states arise from traumatic experiences of the past, and which embodied states are meant to hold all of the energy and emotion from exploding outwards or collapsing inwards.

The path of Trauma release is meant to help you balance your use of and response to distress, while applying your emotional intelligence towards a better future.

The practice of Trauma release includes Conscious Movement, Breathwork, Progressive Relaxation and Release techniques, as well as Somatically Recapitulating every memory that is held within your body, and keeps you from inhabiting your body and mind completely.

‘The Body is the Mind, Before the Mind is the Mind.’

“Everyday, each of us comes into being in a state of being.”

How is your state right now?

That state, be it open or uncomfortable is the quality of your aliveness, or the Qi of your day. Over time, if you come into being in an intense default state it can become a form of almost automatic Mind/Emotion/Embodiment experience and existence.

There is a theme in Traditional Chinese medicine referred to as separating the Clear and Turbid. This is an important way to look at food and cleansing, healthy relationships, and certain parts of Qi Gong. It is also a great way to have an honest relationship with emotions, moods, states, stories, and attitudes that muddy to clear water of your existence.

One of the first things that people notice on a healing journey is their mood. Once you really begin to notice and attend to the subtle constants in life, there is a default setting that often comes with a fascial expression waiting to take over your affect, your breathing, your posture, your thoughts, and your unconscious needs and impulses.

A mood and a predisposition about life can come from many places and can mean many things.

Mood determines your affect (Qing) – Just like how a smell can change a room, or the background music can define part of a movie, your mood can take over your mind.

Your disposition expresses your (Zhi) – Some experiences and behaviors can be understood to come from your ancestors, cultural conditioning, character traits, and personality types. TCM describes some of these influences as coming from your Ethereal Soul (Hun), which is an aspect of sentience that is similar to the idea of a collective unconscious. Hun is also understood as an individuating expression of a collective human soul.

A Disposition is like a mood, an embodied state, and a story that can last for years, say after a divorce, or can last your whole life. Traumatic events trigger immediate reactions as well as long term unmet needs for release through connection and trust.

Your defining moments create a sense of meaning (Bing) – On a personal healing journey, you have the opportunity to defend your Story and state or learn from the places it takes you – both good and bad.

One of the most beautiful lessons we learn is the innocence of our unconscious reactions.

Innocence frees us from guilt, shame, blame, and self hatred.

Your Mind Guides Your Qi. Physical, emotional, and energetic health can only happen with a consistent and healthy mindset. As you learn to adapt to your mood, make clear choices about self image, you are beginning to experience the benefits of Self Regulation.

Learning Self Regulation skills is very much like learning a combination of martial arts and emotional first aid. Just before an intense interaction, you can center yourself like a warrior before battle. Right after an intense interaction, you can check in instead of check out, reinhabit your body, let go of the butterflies in your stomach, and connect with someone you trust.

A long-term goal of Qing Zhi Bing, as a system of therapy, is to help people to become aware of and change their conscious and unconscious drives and dispositions.

How we find, maintain, and apply our will (Zhi) is through our orientation to life. Your orientation to life can be successful, or it can become disorienting and cause patterns and pendulums of distress.

Healing your Zhi is possibly the most powerful step in becoming free of your past.

Reorienting your Zhi not only eases and opens your Qing (Mood, Feeling, Self Empathy), it can also help free you from patterns of addiction and dysfunctional relationships.

Another long-term goal, for those who embrace life and themselves in a Sacred manner is a complete recapitulation of your life, the events that have harmed you the most, the ways you have harmed others, the grudges and ghosts of your family and ancestors, and the self-limiting beliefs that you have about yourself and what is possible for the rest of your life.

If are a clinician or you have had a very stressful life, knowing the most common symptoms of overwhelm, and understanding what they mean can change everything.

At some point, we all go into a low-grade state of shock, or Adaptive Overwhelm, or the Qi and Heart and Kidneys begin to separate.

There are countless possible symptoms, each can indicate different processes and potential dangers. In TCM there are five classes of symptoms (see below) that are all clues to an understanding of ‘why’.

It takes a skilled, curious, and patient team of detectives (clinicians and patients) to gradually learn what needs to be released or restored, and in what order.

Relief care is essential, so there is no shame in beginning with symptom management. In fact, that is the most effective way to build trust with your team and invest more fully in the process of Healing.

The following list of symptoms is not extensive.

Common symptoms include:

Chronic Shock	Recurrent Shock	Panic Attacks
Rage and Shame	Loss of Focus	Hyperfocus/Obsessions
Volatile Behavior	Substance Abuse	Derealization
Dissociation	Anxiety	Mania
Dysthymia	Depression	Delusion
Blunt Affect/Torpor	Suicidal Ideation	Cults of Liminality
Social Rigidity	Social Withdrawal	Socially Capricious
Mental Exhaustion	Emotional Exhaustion	Paranoia
Hallucinations	Inner Voices	Shame
Ticks and Tremors	Indigestion (IBS/Etc.)	Insomnia/Parasomnias
Extreme Diets	Anorexia	Chronic Stiffness or Pain
Exhaustion	Allergies/Autoimmunity	Low Libido
Extreme Libido	Poor digestion	Physical Weakness/Fatigue
Restlessness	Fatigue	Energy/Mood Swings
Nightmares	Weight Loss	Weight Gain
Rashes	Night Sweats	Palpitations
Rapid Aging	Physical Agitation	Solar Plexus Guarding

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has five primary modalities of treatment.

They are Hands-on Body Work (Tui Na), Acupuncture, Herbology, Conscious Movement and Breathwork practices (Dao Yin/Qi Gong), and Preventative Medicine (Yang Sheng).

A sixth approach is counselling and talk therapy. The Qing Zhi Bing approach to Embodied Psychotherapy and Spiritual Recapitulation comes from a family oral tradition that goes back 15 generations. In that tradition, talk therapy is usually combined with acupuncture, herbal medicine, a healthy diet, conscious movement (Qi Gong) and some advanced meditation practices (Nei Gong).

The counselling process is centered around recapitulating both the somatic and psycho-emotional aspects of suffering simultaneously. In this context, Qing Zhi Bing becomes a practice of Conscious Coregulation while releasing embodied traumatic memories, exploring visceral and egoic responses to cultural conditioning, <?> esoteric truths of a fully explored life.

Prof Leung Kok Yuen was one of the most respected and renowned Doctors and Professors of TCM of the last century. He taught at several colleges and hospitals in China, and then became the first licenced practitioner in North America.

Modern Psychotherapy originated as a replacement for talking to a priest.

Talking to a priest replaced talking to an Elder, Healer or a Shaman of some kind.

For some things to change within ourselves, they have to be witnessed by others first.
