Family Constellations Workshops for Healing Past Traumas, Grief and Loss
Family constellations workshops give a way to unlock the usually hidden causes of personal damage that is holding someone back in their life. An experienced facilitator works with a group of people, one of which is the seeker, to discover and decode the root causes of issues that are holding anyone back. The other group members form the constellation and represent the seeker's members of the family, not as role play, but naturally mirroring the sentiments of those members of the family, so the seeker can confront them. Thus giving the seeker a safe environment to better understand deeply buried family related issues, without actually needing to confront the household members personally.
The phenomenon that's theta healing isn't fully understood, but it seems to work again and again, assisting people to resolve their issues and move on in their lives. The observing participants of the family constellations workshop manage to intuitively tune into the seekers plight, channeling the reactions and feelings of that person's family members. New aspects of the situation emerged and are competed until the seeker reaches a point of resolution. Individuals who make up the constellation can represent members of the family that are still alive in addition to those that have passed; glowing represent countries, places, emotions and specific situational circumstances related to the seeker. Each workshop is different in that it represents each seeker's personal situation and there is no approach to predict the roles experienced until the workshop is within progress.
A trained family constellations facilitator presides over the workshop and nominates roles for everybody, relevant to the seeker's plight. The constellation participants are gently guided through the facilitator through the workshop and also the facilitator eventually prompts the scenario with positive turn-around dialogue, which enables the seeker to locate a resolution to their issue.
Family Constellations workshops were put together by a number of psychologists and therapists including Edmund Husserl, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, Virginia Satir, the developer of family sculpture and Bert Hellinger who formed the methodology used by practitioners throughout the world today. The process is used by psychiatrists, psychologists and alternative care providers and counsellors to help people who have identified the requirement for family related resolutions. Counsellors can train to become family constellations facilitator, to integrate this technique with other techniques such as hypnotherapy and life coaching to provide a range of services for clients.
