What is Family Constellations?
Family Constellations is a way of revealing hidden dynamics within our family systems – both in our present family and in our family of origin.
It can uncover unresolved entanglements, patterns in our family lines and ancestral or generational trauma. The whole intention of family constellations work is to restore harmony and balance in the family system, which therefor can relieve us of our individual issues and unhelpful repetitive patterns which will likely be a result of us unknowingly carrying burdens passed down unconsciously from previous generations.
Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach which accesses things at the root level, bringing resolution not only for us, but for our children and for the generations to come.
Constellations can also be made to explore internal parts of ourselves, this can be particularly helpful when working with trauma. In a workshop I use different methods depending on what feels most appropriate for each presentation.
Some of the things this work can help with:
Relationship issues
Financial difficulties
Professional struggles
Addictions
Self-sabotage
Essentially, any aspects of your life where you may be feeling blocked, weighed down, or not living to your full potential.
Constellations work can be explored individually or within a group. If you are taking part in a group workshop, whether you have an issue to bring or not, each member of the group will benefit due to the connection that we each have within our unconscious and ancestral fields. This creates the potential for healing on a collective level to occur each time a constellation takes place - something which undoubtedly is much needed in our human experience right now.
You can come along to a Constellations workshop either as a ‘client’ with an issue to explore or as part of the group to participate in other people’s constellations - either way everyone gets what they need from the process. You can decide at the time if you have something you’d like to bring…the best way is to just show up with curiosity and see what presents itself in the moment.
“I didn't know much about this work but was curious and intrigued, and a little apprehensive. The group felt safe and was beautifully and gently held, and the whole thing was an incredible, astonishing experience - as a therapist and participant I was blown away by the depth of healing for all who attended and the connection that Victoria engendered. This feels like such important work - for individuals but also our families, predecessors and communities. I really encourage anyone wanting to heal to be open minded, give it a go and experience the magic that all of us felt at the event.” - Workshop participant.
