I have suffered from anxiety for years . It had gotten to the point I was experiencing panic attacks on a daily basis. Driving had become almost impossible. The worst part was not knowing when I would be struck with an attack. My life became more and more limited. It was affecting my home life, as well as, my job performance. After participating in a constellation I felt a great shift in my soul and a healing I did not know needed to happen. My anxiety continues to improve and my overall well being continues to heal. R. L Family Practice Nurse -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One short session has helped me better understand the relationships between my daughter, myself, my mother and her mother. I've found this very productive and I am looking forward to future sessions. J D -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I attended a Family Constellation Workshop a couple of months ago and would like talk about the impact of that work on my life. Going in, my goals were two fold. I wanted the work to have positive effect on my physical health and I wanted my child to benefit from it. She was doing things the way I do them and had already developed an anxiety disorder that was controlling her life.
I know that the work that happens within a Family Constellation can only be for ourselves, but when there is change within us, I believe it effects change in those around us. For me, that happened pretty quickly. As I watched my responses to stressors changing, I watched my child’s responses changing. She hasn't needed her medication for anxiety in at least three weeks. I haven't needed medication for my illness in that amount of time, either. I have Lupus and was taking two medications for that... now, there is only one and I believe that over time, I will be able to stop that one, as well, as I feel my body healing. I have another illness for which I have cut back the medication to the end of removing it completely within a few days. These are medications that would have had effect right away before, within missing a dose or two.
There was no realization on my part of the things at work inside. The forces that controlled me were making me so miserable that I had decided to die, not by actively hurting myself, but simply by ceasing to live. I was succeeding with advancing heart disease and needing new stints yearly. There was no desire to do anything. One of the therapists told me that sometimes people decide to die and I didn't realize how right on she was with that statement or how much that, with the Family Constellation work, would change my life.
Trying to wrap your head around how a Family Constellation works is impossible... but it does. When I did my work, there was a huge shift and at that moment, I understood the changes that would happen... I didn't grasp the changes that would happen later as that work was processed, nor the change on health that it would effect. I have done a lot of therapy over the years and none has been so powerful or causing positive outcome so quickly.
I am grateful to Cheryl and Lydia for, in essence, providing the catalyst for the change that has occurred in my life and that of my child’s. It is still amazing me to look at this and realize how much negative and unhealthy impact the things I worked around were having on my life. gg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Email your testimonial to: testimonial@centerfordiversifiedtherapies.com
