The Subcellular Psychobiology Theory: Connecting Epigenetic Biology to Trauma

One of the biggest unknowns in epigenetic research is how to target specific genes to restore their inhibited expression. In this paper, we give a solution to this problem by describing how to target and repair an epigenetically inhibited gene using simple psychological trauma-healing techniques (e.g., Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)). Importantly, we also show how to find the causes of psychological disorders, other diseases of unknown etiology, and the relevant inhibited genes of these disorders and diseases. Together, this means that a psychotherapist, using simple trauma-healing techniques, can target and quickly eliminate a specific psychological disorder in their clients. Most importantly, we can now treat disorders that were not treatable before. In this paper, part two of a three-part series, we derive the subcellular psychobiology theory by examining the biology of the primary cell (Lykkegaard et al., 2024). Using prenatal regression to observe the cell interior, we find that traumatic memories are accessed in ribosomes inside the primary cell. In turn, we show how epigenetically damaged gene coatings are the source of the traumatic feelings found in these memories. Effective trauma-healing techniques take advantage of this intracellular biology. We also discuss some safety issues with research using psychobiology techniques that interact with or change the primary cell’s intracellular biology. Part three of this paper, published in JOPPPAH Summer 2025, provides three examples of practical applications of the subcellular psychobiology theory: dizziness, hearing voices, and Asperger’s syndrome.
