What is Family Constellations?

Family Constellations is a methodology that taps into the underlying dynamics of what you are carrying from your family system, often unconsciously that may be playing out in your relationships or patterns of behaviour. This is an intuitive and psychotherapeutic process that heals on many levels. It is particularly useful f you have already tried many other ways of resolving issues by others methods and if your issue is one that is generational or ancestral in nature. We often carry unresolved past generational patterns with us in the present.

This is a brief, experiential, energetic and powerful solution focused methodology that goes to core issues and reveals solutions quickly. This allows you to find a new perspective, release emotions and provides energy shifts towards wholeness.

Family Constellation theory that takes the view that we are a soul born into a family soul. The family soul or family energy may disrupted by many things such as family secrets, traumatic events like war or murder or tragedies and exclusions and also deaths of children such as miscarriage or abortion or any situation that causes guilt or shame. These disruptions in family soul energy may be felt by present generation in seeking expression resulting in unconscious patterns emerging in the life of individuals
The family soul will seek to have someone in the present generation “play out” the unresolved energy in some way. In this way patterns may be passed down the generations, sometimes missing a generation, but then coming back into a later generation.

Family Constellations highlight and seeks to resolve any entanglements or generational dynamic that are holding you back in terms of self esteem, relationships, success and abundance.

This process taps into entanglements, restores the Order and helps the person to acknowledge “what is” and to free themselves respectfully, while allowing a healthier connection with their roots. In short it allows the flow of life to be restored and also the flow of love for the individual in particular. Doing a family constellation may allow you to feel that we are all connected energetically through family, culture and humanity.

Family Constellations have been called Movements of the Soul by Bert Hellinger, who is the originator of the work and works at the level of the Personal, Family and Inter-generational soul. It also works from a visual, intellectual and emotional level to change perception and perspective, which I believe is the motivation of all therapy and personal development.

What is different about Family Constellations?

You dont have to take the people of your issue with you.
Any shifts takes place within you or within the family energy field.
You dont need to talk about the issue other than give a few facts.
The process is experiential providing a new perspective and releasing emotions safely and quickly.

What happens in a Family Constellation?

Family Constelaltions are traditionally done in a workshop or seminar setting. However they may also be done in a private or individual setting.

Workshop /group

Normally sitting in a circle the faciltator invites someone to look at an issue.
After a few factual questions to clarify the issue, the facilitator will ask the person to pick representatives from the group to represent the people of the issue including one for the client and place them spatially in relationship to each other in the room and then to find a seat to observe the unfolding of the process. From here on, the facilitator guides the process and faciltates the release of emotions and works with the entanglments to allow the Orders of Love to return, that give strength and healing to the client and the system. 

Family Constellations may take place in workshops or private sessions.

How does the process of Family Constellations work?

The process may help you to:

1. See yourself in the bigger picture of the relationship, family pattern or ancestral energy. You may find new perspectives.
2. Release or resolve unexpressed emotions quickly and safely
3. Help you to see your possible best solutions
4. Clear or resolve something within you or in the emotional field, so that a new possibility of how you relate to those of your issue can emerge.

Examples. Case studies of Family Constellations

Case Study 1.
Difficult Parent/Child Relationships

This is the family constellation of a woman who was unable to have a good relationship with her daughter. The facilitator asked a few factual questions about the family history and then set up the constellation with representatives. The woman also had a difficult relationship with her own mother. Representatives of the woman, her daughter and her mother were set up. The feelings and physical positioning of the representatives were noted.

The woman is loving but can’t make contact with her daughter, who is angry with her. The woman is then turned to face her own mother. It is clear that she doesn’t respect or accept her mother. Some time is spent here in allowing things to be put back into their rightful place until the woman and her mother are in contact and feeling comfortable. Now the woman is turned to face her daughter. The daughter has become interested in coming to a resolution with her now. The constellation finishes with the family system feeling relaxed and comfortable.

If you have a difficult relationship with your parents, it may be difficult for you to have a good relationship with your own children.

Case Study 2.
When A Relationship Breaks Down

This is a family constellation of a divorced woman who was experiencing difficulties in her subsequent intimate relationship. A constellation was set up with representatives of the woman, her ex-husband and her current partner.

The woman’s ex-husband is feeling very sad and hurt. She can’t look at him and says that she feels anger towards him. In seeking a resolution, it’s discovered that the woman is finding it hard to accept responsibility for her part in what went wrong between them. Once an appropriate resolution is found and accepted, the couple is able to let each other go. This frees the woman to focus on her present relationship.

A relationship that has broken down needs to be resolved completely, before you successfully go into the next one. Many of us know this intellectually, but it is often difficult to do this fully for ourselves.

Case Study 3.
An Unresolved Parent Child Relationship

This is a family constellation of a man who had a difficult and unresolved relationship with his mother. His mother died when the man was seventeen leaving him feeling bitter and angry.

A constellation of the man and his mother is set up. The man’s mother reports feeling “cut off” and unable to focus on her son. The son reports feeling sad. Gradually the mother turns from the son. She feels pulled from behind.

The man’s mother is turned around to look at her father. She experiences great emotion here, first anger, then sadness and then abandonment. Her own father had died when he was a child. She had very much missed her father. Once the situation is acknowledged and the mother is reunited with her father she is able to turn around with her own father behind her to give her strength and make a connection with her son. The constellation is over when the mother is honoured and respected by her son and she is able to wish her son a fulfilling life. The son is feeling connected to his mother.

The man may now be able to take part in a good loving relationship with a woman as he now has his mother in his heart.
