Genealogy fans will be stunned by the explosive discovery that there is now an effective way they can understand deeply personal emotional problems-like overeating, hoarding, chronic anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, money problems etc.-by using their genealogical information! Until now, DNA testing and traditional genealogy (Genealogy 1.0 as author Judy Wilkins-Smith calls it) has been limited to providing people important physical information: Geographic lineages and ethnic information, physical traits, predispositions to certain diseases, appropriate dietary and exercise regimes to follow, etc.The science of epigenetics has revealed that traumatic events leave emotional "markers" on our DNA which can end up triggering the same emotions, thoughts, feelings and actions in us that our ancestors experienced generations ago. This ancestral trauma means we are, quite literally, walking around carrying thoughts, feelings and issues that may have started in our family genetic line hundred of years ago. Some of these Emotional DNA patterns passed down to us are positive, while many ancestral trauma patterns are quite limiting. Combining epigenetics with the transformative power of Systemic Work & Constellations and family constellations, Wilkins-Smith steps the reader through a straightforward process, showing how to use their personal DNA results and genealogical information to connect present-day emotional issues with their ancestral roots and then transform those limiting emotional family patterns via a process called Genealogy 3.0.
