What is Family Constellations?
Family constellations (also known as systemic constellations) is a a therapeutic method for healing psychological pain, originated by German Psychotherapist Bert Hellinger.
Family constellations recognises that individual humans exist within a myriad of systems. These systems are made up of other individuals – such as the family or workplace – and wider shaping forces: e.g. biological, institutional, cultural, economic, conceptual etc.
We emerge through a complex set relationships within these systems: pulls and pushes, distancing and enmeshment, belonging and feeling like we don’t belong.
What happens in a Family Constellations 1-2-1 therapy session?
A Family Constellations 1-2-1 therapy session will look at the issues you bring, in the context of the wider systems in which they reside. The systems looked at may include your:
- Family of origin and ancestors
- Other significant relationships
- Individuals with whom you share significant events
- Workplace or organisation in which you belong
We will talk about the themes you bring and the system relevant to your enquiry. Next we will “constellate” taking you beyond your conscious knowing, allowing insights to emerge from the field of enquiry.
Working this way opens up insights which could not be gained through talking alone. We get to sense, feel, see and know things that are otherwise unavailable to using one (or more) of the following methods of enquiry:
- Your inner vision or ‘imagination’.
- Tracking sensations in your body.
- Floor markers: creating maps of experience.
- Objects: figurative dolls or even stones, reveal through their appearance and placement.
What Happens in a Family Constellations Therapeutic Group Workshop?
Someone brings an enquiry (they are the ‘issue holder’) and the rest of the group supports an exploration using family constellations.
Some of the group will be chosen to represent elements of the presenting issue. For example, you might represent someones Father, or abstract concepts such as “a resource” or the “country of origin”.
You don’t need any prior experience and can decline any role as you choose. Groups have limited participants (9 or less) to create an environment in which everyone has an opportunity to participate. Our constellating style aims to be gentle and inclusive, opening the way to presence with yourself and the group.
