Somatic Practices for Resolving the Wounds We Were Born With

Identifying and healing the inherited wounds that live in our bodies across generations

  • Reveals how generational trauma is passed down through the nervous system and ancestral memory
  • Introduces “The Field,” an original framework where biology, ancestral memory, and spiritual presence converge to shape healing
  • Describes somatic practices, case studies, and ancestral mapping exercises drawn from Somatic Experiencing and DST Somatics

Trauma does not always begin with the person who carries it. Somatic psychotherapist Sergio Ocampo presents a case that generational trauma can arise from unspoken family wounds as well as violence, displacement, and historical upheaval, becoming encoded in the body’s nervous system and shaping emotional responses across generations.

Drawing on epigenetic research and somatic psychology, Ocampo traces his ancestral wounds through the Mexican and Latin American experience of trauma, from the Spanish Conquest and Mexican Revolution into his own life. His concept of “The Field,” the convergence of ancestral memory, biological inheritance, and spiritual presence, offers a framework for understanding pain that feels older than one’s own life. Through case studies, he presents individuals who have released inherited survival responses through somatic awareness and ancestral dialogue.

Practical exercises in somatic tracking and ancestral mapping provide tools for engaging with inherited patterns, while Ocampo’s broader vision, showing how healing can ripple outward through family and community, offers a hopeful path forward.
