What is Family Constellations therapy?

Unveiling the Power of Constellations: Healing Relationships, Transforming Systems

In the intricate dance of life, relationships are the threads that weave together the fabric of our existence.

From the intimate bonds of family to the complex dynamics of organizations and communities, our connections shape who we are and how we navigate the world.

But what happens when these relationships become strained, tangled, or disrupted?

Untangle the knots that bind us

How can we untangle the knots that bind us and restore harmony to the systems that sustain us?

Enter Constellations – a powerful tool for systemic inquiry, personal healing, and social change. Rooted in the understanding that a living system is defined not by its individual parts, but by the relationships between them, Constellations offer a unique lens through which to perceive and transform the dynamics of human connection.

Revealing hidden truths

At its core, Constellations therapy is about seeing the unseen, revealing the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface of our conscious awareness. Whether we’re exploring the depths of personal trauma, unraveling the complexities of ancestral patterns, or untangling the knots of organizational dysfunction, Constellations provide a map for navigating the labyrinth of human experience.

Family and Systemic Constellations, pioneered by Bert Hellinger, offer a 3-dimensional exploration of the relationships within a system. By embodying the roles of family members, ancestors, and significant events, participants gain insights into the underlying dynamics that shape their lives.

It’s like stepping into a living, breathing portrait of the system, where the flow of energy and love becomes palpable.

Family dynamics and systemic inquiry

But Constellations aren’t just limited to family dynamics. They have myriad applications, from improving organizational performance to enhancing teaching techniques. As the International Systemic Constellation Association (ISCA) attests, Constellations are a versatile tool for systemic inquiry and social change, captivating individuals around the world who seek to transform unhealthy systems into healthy ones.

Sacred space

The Systemic Constellation process is deeply rooted in family systems therapy, existential-phenomenology, and ancestral reverence. It draws on a rich tapestry of philosophical and therapeutic traditions, integrating insights from diverse cultures and disciplines. As practitioners guide participants through the constellation process, they create a sacred space for healing and transformation to unfold.

Interconnected fates

One of the key principles of Constellations is the recognition that every element within a system is interconnected – from past traumas to present-day relationships. By mapping out these connections, participants gain a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics that influence their lives. It’s a process of uncovering hidden patterns, releasing blocked energy, and restoring balance to the system.

In conclusion, Constellations offer a profound opportunity for personal and collective healing.

Whether we’re exploring the depths of our family history or unraveling the complexities of organizational dynamics, Constellations provide a map for navigating the complexities of human connection. As we delve into the depths of our relationships, we gain new insights, new perspectives, and new possibilities for growth and transformation.

What My Clients Say

“No pain in the night, no pain when I got up, no pain when I went for a run and no pain now! It’s much more than I expected, thank you! "

Steve

"It is as though I have been gifted an entirely new lens through which to view human behaviour, and it is a lens of compassion and empathy like no other. Due to this, I have been able to come to terms with the way my family operates, which has proven to be a great relief. I would definitely recommend working with Lucy. She held such a safe space for me and my vulnerability with great compassion and authenticity."

Elena

"Using these techniques has helped me reduce the day-to-day tension I’ve developed over a lifetime of anxious habits and hypersensitivity. It’s been amazing to re-learn how my body works, and how to swap out the survival mechanisms that got me so far, for habits more in keeping with how my body is happier to work."

Alex Booer

“I’ve been doing the Alexander Technique with Lucy over the past few months and my posture has improved enormously. I have a greater awareness of how my body functions and can recognise the signs of when I’m falling into bad habits."

Paul Tolton, Actor

"I feel present. Nice to feel here, not racing ahead. I have a more measured, calm approach. I’m less reactive and am learning to look after myself and choose my responses.”

Rosie

"I had a traumatic accident a few years ago. After you ‘wriggled’ my head it felt weird – and really good. I could walk evenly for the first time in years!! I’m making friends with my body.”

Zoe, Singer

"I have been happily surprised and have learned a lot about how my muscles and spine behave when I let them. I rapidly realised that AT is not in the least pseudoscience, rather it teaches one to be aware of how the body is holding itself."

Julian Davis, Retired Professor of Medicine & Pianist

"I've just had two enjoyable and useful sessions with Lucy on Zoom. I had been doubtful about how it would work but I was pleased with how it went. Of course, nothing is as good as face-to-face but we are where we are and this was great and has helped me to progress as I had hoped. Thank you. Looking forward to the next ones!"

Bev

"Lucy's sessions are amazing. Her unique blend of skills helped me have good posture without effort. Before this, I had seen many physiotherapists and osteopaths, but the pain kept coming back within a few weeks. Even after my first session with Lucy, the difference was so clear that my friends commented on it. After several months, the effects are being maintained with her support."
