The Transgenerational Transmission of Psychosomatic Setup and the Deconstruction of the Myth of Child Autonomy

(By Alberto Bonizzato – Behavioral Coach)

A substantial body of contemporary psychological and pedagogical theories explicitly postulates a form of primordial autonomy in the child, supporting the hypothesis that the child does not replicate parental behaviors and setups, but rather develops a completely independent path of self-determination.

Within the mechanics of POMM (Perspective of Observation of Mind Mechanics), this theoretical framework reveals itself to be an anachronistic and scientific aberration, born long before scientific research identified the dominant factors of non-verbal communication, bodily kinetics, and deep emotional dynamics as the pivotal and characterizing elements of the individuation process.

The illusion of child autonomy stems from overlooking the somatic and non-verbal component: the child does not copy the ideology expressed in words by the adult, but absorbs and internalizes the deep kinetic-emotional matrix.

1. The Prenatal Beginning: Biochemical Imprinting and the Registration of the Limbic System

The human emotional-mental process does not begin with the first breath, nor is it exhausted within the mere genetic inheritance transmitted via biological pathways. There exists a "non-physical" dimension—purely informational and kinetic in nature—that is transmitted through the subterranean and somatic channels of affectivity: the Familial Emotional Model. It configures itself as an invisible legacy that permeates, shapes, and conditions every axis of the individual's personality development and affective reactivity.

Contrary to classical paradigms, birth does not represent the ground zero of neuro-emotional development, but rather the climax of a process already well underway. Starting from the ninth month of gestation, the fetus does not operate as a mere passive biological spectator; it reacts in real time to the emotional states of the mother, registering and encoding the hormonal, neuroendocrine, and biochemical variations produced by the fluctuations of her Limbic System and Amygdala (joys, anxieties, alarm arousal states, or fears).

After birth, this primary kinetic "registration" translates into a concrete empirical experience, where the variable emotional states of the mother and the primary family unit are associated with their habitual and postural behaviors. The adults who welcome the newborn deploy a massive load of kinetic and metacommunicative signals that stem directly from their own unresolved models, generating an associative chain that the child memorizes at a subcortical level.

In this primary phase, the newborn undergoes a pure emotional imprinting that does not yet contain the manifest behavioral component, which will emerge only later. If biological imprinting guarantees the physical survival of the organism, this cultural, kinetic, and linguistic imprinting guarantees its relational survival within the group. The child receives environmental stimuli that it lacks the neocortical tools to decode rationally; therefore, it binds them indissolubly to the postural tone, the voice, and the kinetics of the figure emanating them. It is the foundational act of objectified reality: an a-critical association between external events and internal emotional activations.

2. The Familial Matrix: The Kinetic Archive and the Geometry of the Group

During the first years of early childhood, the learning and structuring of the Emotional Model proceed strictly by action schemas. The child operates as a meticulous archivist: "pigeonholing" and mapping behavioral and emotional variables through the deep emulation of the non-verbal domain.

Often, to the eyes of an adult observer unequipped with technical lenses, this process remains invisible because the child manifests in its actions only small, isolated fragments of what it is acquiring. However, within the mechanics of POMM, the fact that a behavior or an emotional setup is not immediately manifest does not mean that it has not been structurally internalized within the somatic memory.

A determining factor in this development kinetics is the sociological architecture of the primary group:

・ Restricted Nuclear Families: In isolated or restricted relational contexts, the spectrum of available emotional models is mathematically limited. The child has very few variables to observe and test; this entails a tendency toward the rigid crystallization of the parental model, drastically reducing the system's degrees of freedom.

・ Extended Families or Plural Communities: In expanded contexts, the individual absorbs and maps a greater variety of emotional and kinetic responses. The plurality of relational "mirrors" allows for a significantly more fluid, elastic, and dynamic negotiation and calibration of one's own Emotional Model.

It is of fundamental theoretical importance to note that until puberty, the emulation of caregivers does not concern the "aesthetic form" of the behavior (the what they do on a logical level), but the emotional-behavioral content (the how they react internally on a kinetic and neurovegetative level). The child does not copy the conscious action, but the "feeling" and the arousal that generate it.

3. Puberty and Adolescence: Testing the Model and the Sublimation Function

With the advent of puberty, the link with the acquired Emotional Model undergoes a drastic mutation. What until that moment had been a passive, a-critical, and somatic acceptance converts into a phase of field testing. The individual initiates the application of the familial matrix to the phenomenal situations of the real world, testing the predictive efficiency and environmental feedback of those inherited schemas. During this period, the differentiation process is activated: the subject begins to personalize the model, discarding schemas that generate incoherent feedback (inefficacy) and reinforcing those that guarantee predictable results.

In adolescence, the projective center of gravity shifts definitively outward. The family of origin ceases to be the primary theater of representations to make way for the continuous and elaborative verification of new experiences in the complex social environment. In this age group, where the subject does not yet possess the action skills and the experiential archive necessary to feel "equal to" the complex relational variables, the mind is forced to manage raw instinctual drives of extremely high intensity—first and foremost, the activation of sexual love.

Faced with the fear of direct confrontation with reality or the dread of rejection, the cortex activates a specific defensive and anticipatory function: sublimation.

This projective dynamism allows the adolescent to "train" in a virtual mode through emotional investment in unattainable figures (pop stars, singers, actors, radical ideologies). "Amorous sublimation" is not an adolescent whim, but a precise pre-training strategy: it allows the youth to make contact with their emerging drives, experiencing the intensity of desire and the spectrum of loss within an intimate "protection box" where the risk of negative environmental feedback is zeroed. It is a distorted, idealized phase, yet functionally necessary to prepare the neural circuits to manage the future complexity of real sentimental relationships.

4. The Primary Emotional Dominant: Fear vs. Evolutionary Curiosity

The evolutionary success or pathological breakdown of this developmental kinetics depends, in the final analysis, on the intrinsic nature of the original Emotional Model. The entire behavioral kinematics of the adult can be traced back to the quality of their baseline tonic activation (arousal), divided into the two dominant factors of POMM:

・ Fear Dominant: If the primary model was built on foundations of inhibition, anxiety stemming from introjected duty, or hyper-vigilant control, the individual will tend to reiterate adolescent dynamisms and blocks for the greater part of their existence. Fear operates as a constant metabolic and action brake, which actively prevents the evolution of the model. The subject will avoid direct, verified experience, taking refuge in the fictitious safety of preventive projection, social withdrawal, or the coercive request for attention.

・ Evolutionary Curiosity Dominant (Attraction): If the familial model of origin promoted exploration, tolerance toward environmental incoherence, and kinetic trust, the individual will perceive their own organism as "capable" and effective. Emotional challenges and reality disconnections will not be registered as threats to the survival of the Self, but as raw data points and opportunities to expand and update one's own Emotional Model.

In conclusion, the kinetics of the Emotional Model is a deterministic journey that develops from passive, somatic absorption to the active mastery of action. The autonomous and emotionally independent adult is not one who has "erased" their past through intellectual means, but the individual who has succeeded, through real-world action, in transforming the legacy received into a flexible and effective instrument, capable of transitioning stably from impulsive reaction (dictated by fear) to proactive action (guided by curiosity).
