Introducing Family Constellation Work

with Sylvia Goddard

Family Constellation Work

Family Constellation Work is for anyone who is interested in resolving personal, relationship, or family difficulties and tensions and break free from unhelpful patterns that undermine them.

 

This work was first developed in Germany by Bert Hellinger, a psychoanalyst and family therapist and is used extensively throughout Europe in psychotherapeutic and medical settings. 


Family Constellation Work is a therapeutic process based on the understanding that traumatic events from your family lineages can be transferred into the next generation. This is a simple but profound idea; your well-being is tied to the well-being of your family system, lineage or “family soul”.

About The Process

This process allows a glimpse at our ‘family’s soul’ and explores how traumatic events and suffering in the lives of previous generations can impact on the lives of following generations without there being any conscious awareness. This is known as ‘entanglements’ or ‘invisible bonding’. Unresolved issues or ‘entanglements’ can continue to exert their influences and impact on your daily life and may manifest through illness, addiction, eating disorders and/or destructive relationship patterns.

 

You and all members of your family system are deeply connected over many generations. You have a bond that springs from a love providing strength and a sense of belonging. This bond connects you to a family conscience that wants all members of your family to be recognised including those who have been outcast, dishonoured or forgotten. It is simple but profound; your well-being is tied to the well-being of your family system, lineage or ‘family soul’.  

Understanding Your Place in the Family System

Family Constellation Work allows the blind love within families to be explored to allow a glimpse at our personal path within the whole picture.

This work offers us insight as our bonds and those of our parents and further ancestry become visible showing the dynamics and effects these bonds still cause in our current family structure.

Family Constellation Work can help you to:

  • Make systemic entanglements conscious
  • ­ Honour your ancestors and give them their rightful place
  • ­ Unburden your current family system and yourself
  • ­ Access the remembered love for healing and integration

Reconnecting With What Heals Us

This work can help you see where the love has gone wrong or been misdirected or where it is being hindered. Restoring the flow of love within a family system may bring freedom from an issue in your life; especially where you feel hindered or entangled in some way.

 

This work nudges people forward in the direction of having their own insight.

 

Family Constellation work can be undertaken in a group setting in workshops or in an individual one-to-one session.
