Family Constellation

Hellinger's family constellation is based on a systemic approach. It states that everyone born into a family has the right to belong, and everyone can only be happy in their own place. If these laws are violated, those born later in the family often take on the fate of their ancestors and struggle with blockages in their own lives, often repeatedly, unsuccessfully, and unhappily. With the help of family constellation, the deeper causes of blockages are revealed, and it becomes possible for the individual to live their own life more fully, letting go of the fates subconsciously taken over from others. Having experienced the wonderful healing power of family constellation, it was clear to me that this is also my path as a helper. The deep-seated connections I have been researching since childhood thus gained meaning; the 'clues led here.' Behind individual blockages and life management difficulties, the traumas of our ancestors often appear, preventing us from truly living our own lives and making our own decisions. For me, family constellation is the path to healing, bringing me closer to myself, and I can help you with this too.

How does it work?

Introduction

I explain the family constellation method. We discuss the framework of the day and technical details. I open the group.

Arrival, Opening Circle

Everyone summarizes in a few sentences what they arrived with, briefly defines their topic, and says whether they arrived as a facilitator or helper.

Constellations

The constellations begin with a short interview where I help clarify the topic you want to work with. Then you choose yourself and other actors related to your topic.

Closing

We close the day with a final circle.

Duration

  • • The duration of the family constellation group may vary depending on the number of applicants. In the case of a full group, we hold a maximum of 6 constellations a day.
  • • A constellation lasts 1-1.5 hours on average.
  • • Start: 10:00 AM, closing in case of a full group: 6:00 PM.
  • • Short breaks are held between constellations, and there will be a 1-hour lunch break.

Expected Effects

Strong emotional experiences and physical symptoms such as excitement, elation, or conversely, lethargy and fatigue may occur for 1-2 weeks after the constellation. There is no exact answer as to when the constellation 'takes effect'. For some, it is 1-2 weeks, but it can be several months or even years. It may also happen that a topic is worth holding a family constellation multiple times. In summary, the family constellation method is a kind of 'soul surgery'. Time must be given for its effect to unfold, and changes should be observed while maintaining conscious alertness.
