Constellations
Systemic and Family Constellations
What are Systemic Constellations?
Systemic Constellations provide a solution-focused process, developed by the German philosopher and psychotherapist Bert Hellinger.
They work by looking at the truth of 'WHAT IS, and can offer healing re-soulutions to issues with roots in our own family and social systems (hence Systemic Constellations) that may have appeared intractable.
This systemic approach differs from other therapeutic approaches in that it explores each person's intrinsic place in the groups or 'systems' to which they belong, rather than simply focusing on the individual in an isolated way. These 'systems' may be our current family, our family of origin, our workplace or even the environment in which we live.
Who Benefits from Systemic Constellations?
Systemic Constellations can help with a wide range of issues including:
- Illness, including addictions and eating disorders
- Unhappiness and ongoing emotional symptoms such a rage, anxiety, limitation, depression and lack of motivation
- Bereavement, adoption, abortion
- Family and relationship difficulties between partners and/or parents
- Difficulties within companies or co-operations.
- Therapists working with complex issues with clients
You do NOT need to have and obvious issue with your family to take part (and benefit from) this work. Systemic Constellations complement other therapies beautifully and can bring to light the core or root of what is, and thus offer new insights and opportunities for healing.
There are many examples reported where the well being of individuals and/or the whole dynamic in a family or company starts to change following such work.
I offer a systemic approach in my personal practice and also organise Family Constellations workshops facilitated by Gaye Donaldson.
The next Family Constellation workshop will be on:
