Family Constellations
It's a transformational method developed by Bert Hellinger bringing to light any hidden dynamics in a family system that an individual may be caught up in. These dynamics or entanglements may be subconscious but can deeply affect an individual's life in many ways including repeating patterns, illnesses or fates.
The Process
The client chooses people (group members or figurines) to represent themselves and key family members, such as parents, siblings, or ancestors. From their placement and interactions, hidden dynamics are seen between representatives. Through these dynamics, the facilitator can identify hidden patterns or unresolved emotional issues within the family system. The facilitator guides the representatives towards a balanced and healed resolution that supports the client.
