WHAT IS IT?
Family Constellation work was developed by Bert Hellinger as an integrative approach to personal healing. He has combined his training in psychotherapy, body centered therapy, and his love of philosophy to form an approach that encompasses mind, body, and spirit. This unique methodology gives us the opportunity to discover personal facts and patterns of behavior, feeling or thought that may be hidden in our family system and that can exert control over our lives without our knowing it. We can gain an understanding of how current physical or mental illness, addiction, or relationship problems at home or work may be related to those personal facts and patterns. Hellinger's work allows us to break our bonds with patterns that no longer serve us, and facilitate strength and healing from the experience of the workshop. Not only do workshop participants gain insight and healing from their own direct experience, but also from observing and/or participating in the experiences of other participants.
HOW IT WORKS:
In a constellation group you select representatives for yourself, your family members or an issue in question. Soon a field of consciousness starts to form giving incredibly precise insight into the hidden dynamics of the system. For reasons we can not explain the representatives are able to tap into the consciousness of the system. They start to feel, think and even behave as if they were the very people they are representing. At this point, you can stand outside of your family system and see the hidden entanglements, perhaps for the first time. .
