About The Book
Embracing the S.U.C.K
In Embracing the S.U.C.K., licensed therapist and retired Navy servicemember Francisco Castillo challenges the outdated idea that strength means silence. Through his powerful S.U.C.K. Framework — Self-Awareness, Understanding, Compassion, and Knowledge — Castillo offers men a tactical guide to emotional resilience, self-discovery, and authentic leadership. This book empowers readers to remove the emotional armor that no longer serves them and to lead with courage, empathy, and purpose in every aspect of life.
About The Book
The Generational Algorithm
The Generational Algorithm is more than a book—it’s a blueprint for transformation. Francisco Castillo reveals how families, like social networks, install invisible emotional codes that shape who we become. These hidden “algorithms” decide which feelings get muted, which truths stay filtered, and which toxic cycles repeat across generations. The result is an operating system most of us never chose, but still run every day.
Blending neuroscience, therapy, and real-life stories, Francisco introduces the DECODE method—a six-step process designed to help you detect old patterns, challenge their power, and install healthier emotional responses. With weekly challenges and practical exercises, the book guides you through a 90-day journey of awareness, healing, and growth. Each chapter builds on the last, offering not just insights but a clear path forward.
Written in the language of our digital age, The Generational Algorithm makes complex psychology accessible and deeply relatable. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, carrying family secrets, or determined not to pass down inherited pain, this book gives you the tools to stop scrolling through the same old story—and start writing a legacy of healing.
