Systemic Constellations

WHAT ARE SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS (FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS)

Each of us is integrated into his family system (parents, siblings, ancestors) and thus also entangled in their fates and experiences.

Through the soul connection (= clan soul), in which we stand with our ancestors, it is possible that their experiences repeat themselves in our lives. Fates and experiences of our ancestors are stored in our genes as well as hereditary diseases or dispositions. We are rarely aware of this. This fateful entanglement even goes so far that certain events within a family repeat themselves over generations, e.g. early deaths, accidents, serious illnesses, addictions, tragic relationships, losses of any kind, perpetrator/victim relationships, concealment of family secrets, paternities or abuse.

We then experience this as dissatisfaction in everyday life, relationship problems, illnesses, professional blockages, money problems, depression, lack of strength, identity problems, etc. Often we can't really find an explanation for our unhappiness.

The Systemic Constellation Method, which is now used worldwide and since 2018 also medically recognized, allows us to recognize the causes, solve them and restore the "order of love". It is considered a solution-oriented therapy and was controversial for a long time, due to its phenomenological insight work and effects of the energies within a system.

Procedure of Systemic Constellations

Constellations are possible in groups where participants act as proxies for absent or deceased family members or also issues and symptoms. Or also with small figures on the table, as well as with leaves or shoes on the floor in individual constellations.

This work can simply bring very general themes and structures to light, or the leader can empathize depth-psychologically with unconscious and hidden structures and uncover and depict these inner processes and disturbances recognizably with the client, so that the best path to a solution can become apparent.

One of my teachers was Bert Hellinger. During my training I attended workshops and lectures by other therapists.
