Presenting Symptom
Dominique suffered from recurring stomach cramps and stomach pain for many years, particularly around suppertime.
Over the years she received several medical evaluations:
- Gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy)
- Investigation for a possible stomach ulcer
- Long-term stomach medication (sucralfate)
Despite these interventions, the stomach pain continued.
The Original Conflict
During a GNM seminar in 2005, Dominique suddenly recognized the emotional origin of her symptoms.
She connected the pain to:
- Her teenage years
- Tense family relationships
- Evening meal times
- Emotional stress occurring around supper
She realized that the symptoms were linked to long-standing conflict tracks associated with family tensions.
Biological Conflict
Territorial Anger Conflict
Within GHK, the stomach is associated with a territorial anger conflict.
Typical emotional experiences include:
- Ongoing arguments
- Family tensions
- Irritation that cannot be expressed
- Feeling upset about what is happening within one’s “territory”
- Emotional frustration that keeps recurring
In Dominique’s case, family-related tensions became associated with mealtime and were repeatedly reactivated through conflict tracks.
Conflict Tracks
One of the most important aspects of this case is the role of tracks.
Original Track
- Family conflict
- Evening meals
- Suppertime atmosphere
Later Trigger
Years later, every evening meal unconsciously reminded the psyche of the original conflict.
The actual teenage conflict was gone, but the emotional track remained active.
As a result:
Suppertime → Conflict Track Activated → Stomach Symptoms
This cycle continued for many years.

According to the GHK model, the stomach program is activated when an individual experiences something that is emotionally difficult to “digest.”
The Turning Point
During Caroline Markolin’s seminar, Dominique experienced a profound realization.
She suddenly understood:
“This pain is connected to my teenage family conflicts.”
The moment she understood the origin of the program, the conflict was resolved internally.
Healing Phase Begins
The healing phase started almost immediately after the seminar.
Upon returning home she experienced:
- Strong stomach pain
- Spasms
- Night-time discomfort
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Mild headache
- Increased need for sleep
Rather than fearing the symptoms, she understood them as part of the healing process and felt optimistic about them.
Emotional Shift
The remarkable feature of this case is her emotional response.
Instead of saying:
“Something is wrong.”
She felt:
“This is the end of my troubles.”
This removed fear from the healing process and allowed her to observe the symptoms without panic.
Resolution
Within a few days:
- The pain reduced significantly.
- She was able to eat supper without symptoms.
- Her energy gradually returned.
- She discontinued her medication.
According to her testimony, she remained free of stomach pain from 2005 until at least 2018 when the testimonial was written.

Key Insight
This case highlights a central theme often discussed in GHK:
The conflict itself may be long gone, but the tracks remain active.
When the person becomes conscious of the original emotional experience and no longer reacts to the track as a present danger, the biological program can complete its healing phase.
In Dominique’s story, a simple moment of recognition transformed a pattern that had persisted for decades into a process that resolved within days.
