If you have participated in a Family Constellation you know what a profound and moving experience it can be. While difficult to describe in words, imagine observing representatives for you and your family moving on a stage as if guided by an invisible hand. A Constellation reveals the previously unseen intergenerational forces which have held current family members captive in life patterns not previously understood. In this experimental process, one can literally “see” hidden family dynamics unfold in ways that are often uncanny and emotionally powerful. It is as though representatives are “channeling” the family energy field of the client without even knowing the story.

 

People frequently remain stuck in symptoms and issues which simply don’t resolve in spite of great effort, years in therapy, medications, or loving support. A Constellation offers a clarifying view of systemic pain and stuckness which may have driven our lives in unfortunate ways.  It is like “stepping into the soul of the family” while offering a path

toward healing and transformation. You must see and feel the Constellations process in order to get it.

 

The Constellations method was originally created by a controversial German psychotherapist, Bert Hellinger, an ex-priest who worked with the Zulu for many years. It has been further developed by a variety of international practitioners who have adapted the process to contexts like organizations, health concerns, businesses, decision-making, internal states of mind, case supervision, nature, etc. In the social-psychological realm, we work with every issue, concern, and dilemma you can imagine. At the end of most Constellations, a new image or “solution picture” arises which can then be used by the client to move in a new direction based on what has been uncovered.
