Family Constellations is a systemic, experiential, brief and profound process that taps into the unconscious. It is a powerful way to tap into what holds you back from reaching your potential in terms of relationship and business success and wellness.

.

Founded in the 1990’s by Bert Hellinger, a German psychotherapist, family therapist and former Catholic priest.

Family Constellation can reveal family dynamics and personal experiences that lie in your unconscious, affecting your emotional state, self-esteem, habits and behaviors. It’s an experiential process that facilitates acceptance for what is, gratitude for what was and what we have and love in ourselves and others.

The process enables a deep understanding of relationships both within and without our family circle, going beyond conversation to utilise body sensing and energetics to reach the hidden dynamics of our issues and emotional entanglements that hold us back from living the life we deserve.

Maybe a parent or a child died early, someone went missing in the family and was not spoken about or a parent was excluded with no access to children; or maybe someone committed a crime and never paid for it.

These people or events can cause an energy block in a family system. Unconsciously this pattern can play out in later generations, even if we know no history of the first event. Then a child comes along generations later and feels the same dynamics from the past but has no conscious understanding of their feelings. Often seeking help for their feelings as they feel so real for them, but what if they were not your feelings, your story, your struggles and you were carrying them for the bigger family system.

Using a systemic lens, we can look at the bigger family system and put things back in order. If you are wondering, why do I feel

• sad,
• depressed,
• lonely
• empty
• not able to connect
• ignored
• wronged
• the truth is never really spoken

​

and it doesn’t make sense to you, maybe you are feeling the feelings of the unresolved stories of past generations. These events can also show up as

• affairs
• early deaths
• Illness
• not living our purpose
• abuse
• repeating relationship pattern
• financial problems
• feelings that do not make sense
• grief
• and so much more...

Change is the one constant in life. We all move through change as we live, grow and learn. What clues does our body hold, and express through our emotions, triggers, patterns and wounds?

As a child we relied on our care givers and those around us, developing unconscious ways of coping, being and doing. More often than not, without knowing as adults we are still operating from those same implicit memories, strategies and mechanisms while repeating patterns of the past.

• how does that shape our relationships?
• how does it impact how we show up in relationships?
• does it keep us isolated and affect our ability to connect with others?
• how does it shaped our mind, thoughts and responses?

​

Are these old ways still working?

• What can we learn from the past to make changes in our future? 
• Are we looking more at our shadow than our light?
• What needs to change?
• How do we find the silence within?

The journey of family constellations can help us to:

​​

• master your own sovereignty
• understand and know yourself better
• understand your responses to situations and people
• embody confidence
• Own your Truth, authenticity and
• learn to balance your emotions

It is increasingly clear from research in neuro-biology, epigenetics, somatic experiencing and psychotherapy that behavioral patterns are often carried from one generation to the next.
