We are all born into a certain family system. Whether it is the traditional family or an institution that takes care of the growing baby or youngster, we are always born from a father and a mother who are themselves born in a certain system. There are also grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts with whom we are linked. Even continents and countries of origin are linked to us and also the belief system in which we were born.

Sometimes we may unconsciously wear, follow or even live the lives of someone else in our family system. We often experience this as limiting to the life that unfolds before us. We often encounter the same issues and wonder why these themes are repeated in our lives. These can be relational or professional problems, but also emotions can be experienced as not belonging to us, although they are clearly present.

Family Constellations is a powerful method to help you recognize difficult entanglements, both in your family of origin as well as in your present family or relationship. Solution-oriented interventions bring understanding, which is followed by a deep relaxation that allows love to flow again between members of the family system. The systemic view focuses on the causes and needs behind symptoms (rather than on the symptoms themselves). Systemic interventions primarily focus on clarifying what is happening, so that people in the system can contribute to making the system vital in their own way. Everyone can contribute to the (sub) system from their own place and position, sometimes by looking in a different way, sometimes through targeted, necessary interventions. 

In one-on-one sessions, different tools (such as dolls or floor anchors) are used to represent people, places, and ideas. This can also be guided in the imagination. In group session, other participants are asked to be representatives.  

Because the constellation is viewed from a distance - as if we are looking at a stage and observing what is going on there - insights about certain dynamics and entanglements in the family system can be revealed. This leads to clarity for the client and it is possible to work without judgment to uncover what is limiting the client and preventing them from being fully present. This information can then be transformed into coming fully into one's own strength, and becoming fully alive.
