"Before I worked with Dana, I was single, and I wanted a partner but I wasn't feeling totally safe
with men. I was feeling kinda isolated and being able to find a partner seemed out of reach. After
being in Freedom Tribe and doing some private sessions with Dana, I attracted "my person" and
now I'm in a relationship with an amazing guy. We totally adore each other and my friends and
family love him too.
-A. K.
Cranial Sacral Therapist and Yoga Teacher
Before working with Dana, I was struggling to hit my goals in terms of new clients and monthly
income. After a few sessions with Dana, my business increased by 120%, and my monthly
income tripled. I went form a 5 figure to a multiple 6 figure business! I can't thank her enough.
-William Rossitto
Financial Consultant
I went from never having had a boyfriend my whole life to finally attracting the man I had been
dreaming about, and journaling about, and working on manifesting for years!
-A. D.
Interior Designer
"After working with Dana, something in me shifted. Both employees and clients are having a
more positive experience at camp. I increased monthly sales by 24% in one weekend, and
brought in long term partnerships with several new clients, ensuring revenue for the company.
This will allow me to do more of what I love; leadership and team-building programs, which are
my way of changing my world for the better, one person at a time!"
-Christina Weyant
Director of Camps
And you dont have to have met your relative, or even know about them or their stories in order
to get entangled with their problems. The information about the past problems in your family has
been passed down from generation to generation through each family members subconscious.
Thus all the information is already stored in your subconscious. Research also points to latent
recessive genes and epigenomes as carriers of this information. Epigenetics is the study of
changes in gene activity that are caused by environmental stressors. Epigenomes sit above your
genes and tell a agene to turn on or off, or to be expressed loudly or quietly. Epigenomes may
also be carriers of this information.
Symptoms. Keep in mind that these lists are not exhaustive, but its definitely enough to get you
started.
For whatever reason, when someone else in the last seven generations didnt attain success or
lost their success, it can cause an Entanglement Pattern for the seven generations that follow.
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
This ones a no-brainer. If there is a No Permission For Success Pattern, this will clearly affect
your business and your income.
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
A high water mark for moneyyou cant seem to make and/or keep more than a certain
amount of money.
Something always happens and money has to be spent to fix itcar problems, doctors
bills, fees, traffic tickets, etc.
Somehow, the money gets lost, for example, investments go bad, the stock market tanks
right before you are ready to cash out, etc.
You just cant seem to make more than a certain amount of money per month/year.
A tendency to lend out money or give it away. A tendency to try to help people by giving
them money (whether you have extra or not).
Money lent does not get paid back.
A desire to gamble a lot, or gambling away a lot of money.
A tendency toward being a spender/spending a lot: buying things, or experiences like
dining out, travel, etc.
Couldnt marry their love (due to cultural differences, race, arranged marriage, moving
apart, and other life circumstances).
Put walls up around their heart (due to feeling betrayed by someone, being abused,
affairs, etc.).
Had parents who divorced, or were at odds with each other, and one of the children
stepped up and acted like a partner to one of the parents (providing emotional support for
the parent, becoming the man of the house, taking care of the parent perhaps by doing the
cooking and cleaning and tending to their needs the way a partner normally might).
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
Trouble networking and making good business connections, finding Joint Ventures or good
business partners, etc.
Trouble experiencing intimacymaybe true intimacy feels uncomfortable, scary, or too
vulnerable.
Attracting partners who have trouble with intimacywhich guarantees you wont experience
intimacy. The subconscious projects this outward: attracting people who have trouble with
intimacy, so that you wont experience intimacy.
Workaholic or Overwhelm Pattern: Somehow you dont seem to have time to spend with
family or friendsyou end up working all the time, or feeling overwhelmed all the time, and
find that you are always busy. But working all the time or being busy all the time is one way
that this pattern manifestsyou simply dont have the time for connecting with people very
often.
Alone or Lonely: You might find that you are often alone, and you might feel kind of lonely
(and you may have told yourself that you like it this way, which may just be a coping
mechanism for dealing with something you have been stuck with. You also may be so used
to it, you dont even bother thinking it could be any different.).
Working Alone: You may end up in a career that has you often working alone.
Trouble in Relationships: You dont date as much as youd like, or you cant seem to find or
maintain a good relationship, or any relationship at all.
The secret to success is understanding yourself, understanding people, and being able to connect
and communicate. The secret to sales and negotiation, conflict resolution, and managing a team
is also the same. When it comes your businessif you are not able to fully connect with others,
you will struggle, if not fail. Business and financial success is largely about connectionwith
your boss, co-workers, team, customers, etc.
This No Permission for Connection Pattern also deeply affects your friendships and
relationships, and your ability to have connected and happy relationships. It also impacts your

4. Victim/Perpetrator:
The origins of this Entanglement stem from an Originating Incident where someone perpetrated
a crime or act of violence against someone else. You may have a perpetrator or a victim in your
family tree, and this can start the Victim/Perpetrator Pattern in your lineage. What this means for
you is that you, or others in your family may identify with the victims or the perpetrators, or
both.
Originating Incidences include if someone in your family was:
Harmed in some physical way, murdered, raped, or experienced sexual abuse, domestic
violence, etc.
A victim of a crime.
A perpetrator of harm: murder, manslaughter, rape, sexual abuse, domestic violence, etc.
Backstabbed or blackmailed, around money, business, relationships, or health.
Institutionalized or imprisoned.
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
Victim Entanglement:
Perpetrator Entanglement:
You might find that you have a temper, and that you anger easily, sometimes for reasons
that even puzzle you, after the fact.

You may find yourself feeling hostile toward others or just towards life in general, for
some reason.
You may also be plagued with stress and tension, and you often feel on the edge.
You may find that others in your life have told you that you are mean, rude, harsh, or
hurtful, and maybe you didnt mean to be.
You might notice you have a taste for revenge; when someone has wronged you, you
want to get back at them.
Others might have called you manipulative, vindictive, or vengeful.
You might find yourself saying things that people feel hurt by, or hitting or harming
others.
No matter which form of Victim/Perpetrator Entanglement you find yourself in, it can harm your
entire life. As a victim, you cant get very far. You may have too much holding you back. And as
a perpetrator, you may have trouble making connections and developing lasting relationships,
you may end up burning bridges, or getting a bad reputation without fully understanding why.
You may find that your relationships are strained because of your feelings of anger, hostility, or
stress.
* If someone in your family killed someone or was murdered, you may pick up both the Splitting
Pattern and the Pull Towards Death Pattern.

Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
A Dim Life: Not living fully in some areas of your life - things just not going wellfor
example, not having success in career, great friendships or romantic relationships, or not
having robust health. Life can feel a bit dim. Life can feel like a struggle. And it can seem
overwhelming, and things may feel difficult much of the time.
Health Issues: You may experience health problems, disease, including diseases that
doctors can label and define, and also health issues that doctors cant seem to define,
figure out, or make sense of.
Substances: Alcoholism or frequent drinking, and drug addiction or frequent use of drugs.
(This is part of what is called a slow suicide in this work).
Mental Health Issues: Depression or Dysthymia (low-grade depression). Someone in
your family was institutionalized.
Fear of Heights: This can sometimes be caused by the unconscious desire to throw
oneself over the edge; therefore the body develops a fear of heights due to the Pull
Towards Death Pattern.
Dark Imaginings: A common one is wondering what it would be like/wanting to turn the
wheel hard while you are driving fast/driving on a mountain road. May also occur as
other dark or even gruesome thoughts that pass by the mind.
Suicide/Death as an Answer: Even if you are not really suicidal or depressed, with a Pull
Towards Death Pattern, sometimes you just have the random thought: This could all be
solved or better if I were dead/died. Its the thought to stop existing.
Emotional Pain and Frustration: You may find yourself feeling: anxious, angry,
frustrated, lonely, tired, resentful, upset, sad or depressed.
Attracted to sad, gruesome, war, or horror films/TV shows. Its not a given that just
because you like these, that you have a Pull Towards Death, but it is something to look at
as part of the whole. Its one of the signs.
Struggle: Living a life of struggle or sufferingmany negative or bad things
happening. Life just feels difficult. You cant get a leg up, no matter how hard you try.
This is subconsciously keeping one foot in the grave.
Its pretty clear how a Pull Towards Death can affect every aspect of your life. Its known as the
all-arounder. This Entanglement can be a heavy one to carry. The main effect of this
Entanglement is that it prevents you from living a full and robust life. Living with Signs and
Symptoms such as these can hold you back in just about any arena of your life. Its like having
one foot in the grave sometimes, and what you can find is that all areas for your life arent fully
in flow, fully robust, and fully happy or smooth. This one will affect your income,
business/career, relationships, health and happiness.
6. Splitting Patterns:
Splitting Patterns show up when there have been family members that left their home country,
when people from different nationalities that were once at war/at odds with each get together and
have a child, and when there has been a murder, just to name a few. It can cause later generations
to feel oddly split and torn internally, or feel like they dont have roots, or a stable life. It can
make a person feel like they dont belong or dont fit in, or have a place. It can make one feel
like an outsider.
Originating Incidences include if someone:
Left their home country. If the family member left because of: war, famine/hunger,
political issues, being on the run, being kicked out, money or family problems, being a
refugee, etc., it might result in even more of an Entanglement issue.
Had a child with someone with a different ethnicity or nationality, and those ethnicities or
nationalities have had a history of being at odds with each other, fighting each other, or
harming the other, such as genocide, or colonization.
Has killed someone, by accident or on purpose. They may have killed someone during a
war. These stories can sometimes be hidden, and become family secrets you dont know
about. In that case, look below to the signs that you may exhibit, to see if there might be a
splitting pattern in your family system.*
If someone in your family was murdered.*
* If someone in your family killed someone or was murdered, you may pick up both the
Splitting Pattern and the Pull Towards Death Pattern.
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
Has killed someone, by accident or on purpose. This sometimes also includes if they
killed anyone during a war. These stories can sometimes be hidden, and become family
secrets you dont know about. In that case, look below to the signs that you may exhibit,
to see if there might be a splitting pattern in your family system.*
If someone in your family was murdered.*
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
Symptoms include what is listed under a Pull Towards Death, but I wanted to relist some here,
and also add to that list:
Note: With very tragic or gruesome deaths, such as deaths that involved torture, the
Entanglement Symptoms generations later can be very severe. Sometimes, the entanglement
symptoms from these murders feel as though one is being haunted (strange, I know, but people
have reported feeling haunted, including some of the classic symptoms of being haunted such as
Dana Garrison 2009 All Rights Reserved
www.DanaGarrison.com info@danagarrison.com
hearing or seeing things, or feeling harmed by a spirit. And regardless if you believe in spirits or
ghosts, the haunting symptoms are very real to the person experiencing them.). Feeling haunted
or feeling as though you live in a haunted house is often tied to a murder or many murders in
your family history that were gruesome or involved torture. Family Disentanglement work has
been reported to help. So in the rare cases that one might feel like they are in a place that is
haunted, it can simply be the entanglement causing the symptoms.
Whether or not you know of any of these Originating Incidences in your family, check to see if
you or anyone in your family system has any of the following symptoms:
Signs and Symptoms:
In life or social situations, you may feel a bit ignored, left out, out of place.
You may feel like you dont belong.
You cant seem to find a group or groups that feel like your people, that really feel like
home to you.
You dont feel like you have a place you can call home, or roots somewhere. Ungrounded.
You or your business dont seem to get much recognitionyou get overlooked.
Your business has trouble getting noticed. It doesnt get as many clients as it could or should.
If you or your business get overlooked and forgotten, and go unnoticed, you will not be able to
grow it. If you seem to be overlooked or not noticed, that definitely affects your relationship,
especially if you are trying to date or find a partner. The danger with this pattern is not getting
promoted at work, not moving up in your career, or not being able to grow your business or
company, not being able to find a partner or soul mate, and having trouble growing a good
friendship circle.
