YOU’RE NOT BROKEN. YOU’RE CARRYING A LINE OF STORIES.
Before you ever learned your name, people were already writing scripts into your nervous system—family, culture, faith, and sheer survival. They handed down more than eye color and last names. They handed down emotional recipes: what to do with anger and fear, how to handle shame and need, whether you’re allowed to take up space or meant to stay small.
Some of those recipes still protect you. Some quietly sabotage your relationships, recovery, and sense of self.
Rewriting Your Emotional Recipes gives you a clear, myth-infused map of what’s happening inside when something happens “out there” and you suddenly find yourself overwhelmed, numb, or reacting in ways you don’t even like. Instead of calling yourself broken, you’ll learn to see the chain of ancestry, chemistry, story, and choice that runs through every emotional storm—and how to change it.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF…
You keep reacting bigger than the situation and don’t fully understand why.
You feel caught between loyalty to where you come from and the life you’re trying to build now.
You’re tired of shallow “just be positive” advice and want a deeper, more honest map of what’s happening inside you.
You’re willing to do gentle, real work with your own stories—not just read about change.
You want tools you can reuse in everyday life, not just in crisis.
INSIDE, YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO…
- Follow a single moment from trigger → emotion → story you tell yourself → how you act, so you can finally change the pattern on purpose.
- See how ancestry, culture, and belonging shape what you feel and what you believe you’re allowed to want—and start updating those rules.
- Understand why you rarely start any situation at “zero” emotionally, and how to reset instead of snapping or shutting down.
- Recognize fight / flight / freeze / fawn in real time as your body’s protection system, not proof that you’re broken.
- Spot the hidden rules you inherited about which feelings are “acceptable,” and gently replace them with ones that actually fit your life now.
- Notice the quiet ways you keep editing yourself to be “the right kind of person,” and reclaim the parts of you that got pushed out.
- Rewrite the running commentary in your head, so your experiences become fuel for growth instead of evidence that you’re failing.
“So you can meet your emotions with context, not shame—and finally choose your next chapter on purpose.”

“WOW” Moments from Early Readers
— T.G.
Ebook Reader
“WOW. This didn’t feel like a book, it felt like someone pulled the fire alarm in my brain. I can’t go back to pretending I don’t see my patterns now.”
— L.M.
Trauma Survivor & Parent
“This book was a jump-scare for my denial—in the best possible way. I saw my anger, my shutdowns, my parents’ voices, all mapped out. It was like someone finally turned the lights on in the room I’ve been avoiding.”
— J.R.
U.S. Army Veteran
“I’ve sat through enough touchy-feely briefs to last a lifetime. This wasn’t that. This was a full-on debrief of my nervous system—no BS, no fluff, just ‘here’s the op order for your emotions, soldier.’”
— K.S.
Therapist & workshop attendee
“As a therapist, I thought I’d heard every framework. This one stopped me cold. I finished a chapter, sat in silence, and thought, ‘Well… now I have to rethink how I talk about emotions.’”
— D.H.
Recovery Community Member
“It hit like that moment in recovery when you finally get honest. One chapter in and I was like, ‘Oh. THAT’S why I keep doing this.’ It’s brutal—in a good way.”
— A.P.
Educator & Caregiver
“WOW. As an educator and caregiver, I’ve read piles of ‘tools for emotions’ books. This is the first one that made me stop mid-page and whisper, ‘Oh hell… that’s me.’ I’m using it for my students, my family, and honestly, my own sanity.”
