What is Family Constellations Therapy?
"Family Constellations Therapy, pioneered by psychotherapist
and philosopher Bert Hellinger and his colleagues, has become
increasingly recognised as an astounding, powerful and
far-reaching approach to finding lasting resolutions in cases
which before had seemed beyond reach. It brings to light our deep
interconnectedness with family and community and leads to a deep
experiential understanding of primordial love at the heart of all
kinds of mental, psychosomatic and bodily suffering. Once that
love is freed from unconscious entanglements dating back one, two
or even three generations, it becomes a force for profound
healing."(Dr Albrecht Mahr)
What are Organisational Constellations ?
The Organisational Constellation method can be used to solve
relationship problems within organizations. It is derived from
the work with Family Constellations. More information on
Organisational Constellations can be found
here
What is an entanglement?
An entanglement is where one family member follows the fate of an
earlier family member.
When to do a Family Constellation: one or more of the
following
- an important life event has occurred (such as early deaths or
separations of parents or siblings, exclusion or expulsion of a
family member, early hospitalisation, major accidents or
illnesses or disablements, complications during childbirth,
adoptions, abortions )
- persistent body symptoms (such as obesity, anorexia, asthma,
panic attacks, ulcer colitis, cancer). This work is complementary
to medical care and not a substitute for it: thorough medical
assessment and treatment is of course necessary first.
- persistent emotional symptoms (such as rage, depression, not
belonging, isolation )
- persistent behavioural symptoms (such as addictions, accident
proneness, eating disorders )
- there are patterns that seem resistant to change,
- one feels stuckness or weighed down in life, not able to be
oneself
- there is a persistent sticking point in individual therapy
- there is an issue that frightens or plagues us
- when couples first get together or pregnant women before the
child is born (preventative constellations).
Basic Principles that will be experienced and practised
throughout the workshop include:
- The healing potential of what is, rather than what we would
like it to be
- The group as a containing and healing circle
- The power of embodied presence
- Blind love and loyalty v enlightened love and loyalty
- Solution orientation rather that problem orientation
- Lightness, joyfulness and relaxation at the heart of reality
- Honouring and integrating body psychotherapy and other
psychotherapeutic approaches
- Reconciliation of dead members of the family system
- Healing through our ancestors
- Practising solutions in everyday life
Will I have an opportunity to work?
The workshop provides a space for all participants to work.
There will up to 12 constellating participants who will all have an
opportunity for their own issue to be constellated at the weekend.
<
All participants will have opportunities to serve as representatives in the constellations of others.
Being a representative or even part of the witnessing circle often touches us in a deep and healing way.
No previous experience of this way of working is
needed.
