Family Constellation Work: Sometimes our way of being connected in our family is to suffer like those who came before us. When, for example, there's been a painful event in one generation, someone in a later generation may attempt to carry its weight, taking on the suffering of a parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle. Illnesses, depression, anxiety, recurrent fears, addictions, aloneness and failed relationships can all be forms of this unspoken family loyalty. Constellation Work allows us to break unconscious patterns and reestablish our vital strength, tranquility and dignity.
How it works: Members of the group are chosen to represent actual family members and are positioned within the room. Hidden loyalties are then brought to the surface. As new, healthy images of the family system emerge, genuine love and strength can begin to flow in a liberating way. The effects of this can be profound and life-altering.
