The Generational Algorithm: Rewriting the Emotional Code Passed Down Through Generations
Your family programmed an algorithm into you before you could speak. It's still running.
It decides which emotions you're allowed to feel. It picks the same type of partner for you — again. It plays your mother's voice on a loop inside your head. And just like a social media feed you never asked for, it keeps serving you the same painful content on repeat.
You're not broken. You're not weak. You're running outdated software.
In The Generational Algorithm, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Francisco Castillo shows how inherited family patterns operate exactly like the apps on your phone — and how to finally take back admin access.
This isn't a textbook. There's no clinical jargon, no PhD required. Just real stories, straight talk, and a practical 90-day plan built around the DECODE method — six steps to transform the patterns you didn't
