Author Description

Break free from the patterns that hold you back and open to your most extraordinary life with systemic dynamics and family constellations work. Everyone knows we inherit our physical DNA, but few people realize we also inherit our emotional DNA—an ancestral blueprint of thoughts, feelings, and actions handed down to us through multiple generations of repeated family patterns. In Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint, transformational coach Judy Wilkins-Smith shares the good news that no matter what blueprint you’ve been given, you have the power to change your life. Wilkins-Smith adeptly guides readers through both the art and science of creating lasting transformation by working with systemic dynamics and constellations. As she explains, all of the different systems we belong to—our families, organizations, careers, religions, clubs, cultures—subtly determine how we think, feel, choose, and act. When we illuminate our invisible allegiances to these systems, we’re able to make new choices and watch a world of possibilities open before us. Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint brings you a wealth of hands-on strategies and practices so you can learn to detect hidden and multigenerational patterns, recognize their purpose, and then transform old cycles to create an extraordinary life. Throughout the book, you’ll: • Learn to make the invisible visible by decoding your use of language and your body’s messages • Identify the gifts that are often hidden within the pain and messiness of a family or other system • Understand the physical, emotional, and neurological changes that happen through systemic work • Break free from the immensely powerful meta patterns that keep you in a systemic trance—including gender, war, natural disasters, and religion • Explore the ways your unconscious patterning impacts every area of life—relationships, money, health, and more With inspiring stories of real transform
