From a Family Constellations understanding we cannot parent ourselves. We cannot be the big ones to ourselves or give ourselves life. We do have to find alternatives and improvise when our parents cannot give us what is needed. But that cannot be us. We can reach out to our ancient ancestors for life and to elders and those around us who can help with what is missing but we cannot be our own parents.

Children whose instincts to reach the care and safety of their mother or father are interrupted will replace those essential connections with blind loyalty.

They can become entangled with the unresolved issues, suffering and trauma of their parents and the ancestors in the generations before them. These entanglement can manifest as sacrifice, atonement, punishment, exclusion and physical, emotional or mental illnesses.

Children who are interrupted often become perpetrators, victims and or addicted. They are more easily overwhelmed by events and situations that can turn into trauma and chronic survival physiology.

Finding a way through Family Constellations to connect to mother and/or father, even partially, can be a great relief and profoundly healing.

“Many things that are normal in this society, in the sense that they’re the norm, are far from natural or healthy.” — Gabor Maté

In this clip, Dr. Gabor Maté and Dr. Gordon Neufeld explore how our culture’s obsession with independence can block healthy development. Real independence grows through connection — not from separation. As Gordon Neufeld puts it: “True independence is always rooted in a fulfilled dependence.”

Our Story

Family Constellations are a powerful form of body, mind, and spirit healing that reveals the hidden dynamics in family systems. They create a model of the family system that discloses the deeper forces that unknowingly influence our thoughts, behaviors, emotional experiences, physical symptoms and illnesses.

Family Constellations are about reconciliation; Reconciling with the source of our suffering and the greater forces that are behind our individual and collective fates. It is not an option to eliminate these greater forces. Family Constellations allow us to discover their essential truth and accept the life that was given in its entirety with grace.

The science of epigenetics is rapidly proving that we carry the past within us. It also shows that healing trauma and developing a capacity to restore well-being can change genetics within our lifetime. Family Constellations give us a chance to charge our lives and move forward into our possibilities while still feeling the strength and support of our family system behind us. In Family Constellations, we set up a model of a system with volunteer representatives, objects or guided visualization. In a typical workshop, participants are chosen to represent members or elements of the family or organization that is being addressed. In an individual session we use paper, objects or visualizations. In this process, hidden and unexpected dynamics operating within the system are revealed and addressed in a way that aims to find a healthy and respectful place for all members of the system in question. We can then grow, mature and thrive.
