Family Constellations
Understanding hidden dynamics
Our lives are shaped by systems – our families, workplaces, communities. We’re part of them, whether we’re aware of it or not. Within these systems, unresolved emotions, unspoken bonds, and invisible patterns influence how we relate, decide, and live. Often without us even realizing.
Family constellations are a powerful way to uncover these underlying dynamics. It helps us understand how past events – like loss, conflict, exclusion, or trauma – can still shape our lives today. Not just emotionally, but physically, relationally, professionally.
Who it’s for
This work is for those who feel something deeper is at play:
-
You find yourself in the same patterns – again and again;
-
You struggle in relationships, whether with parents, partners, children, or colleagues;
-
You carry emotions like sadness, anger, or anxiety, without knowing where they come from;
-
You experience physical symptoms or a vague sense of not belonging.
If you've ever thought, “This feels bigger than just me,” you're probably right.
How it works
In a group session, someone brings in a personal question or situation. Other participants are invited to represent people, emotions, or themes within that system. Without knowing the story, they begin to feel and express what lives underneath. The room becomes a map—showing what's truly going on.
In a 1:1 session, we use symbolic objects or guided visualizations to access the same insights in a private, grounded setting. Both formats allow space for clarity, release, and movement.
You don’t need to prepare anything. Just a question and an open mind.
What it can shift
-
Understand the deeper reasons behind repeating challenges.
-
Let go of emotional burdens that aren’t truly yours.
-
Find more ease in your relationships.
-
Step into your own place in the family system - feeling more grounded and free.
-
Create change not just for yourself, but also for those around you.
Why it works
Because we carry more than we realize. And some stories need to be seen before they can let go.
This is not a quick fix. A constellation can plant a seed of understanding that quietly transforms the way you live, relate, and lead. Some shifts are immediate. Others unfold slowly. But the clarity it brings? That stays.
Common questions
“Do I have to know everything about my family history?”
No. The process reveals what matters most in the moment.
“Is this like therapy?”
It’s therapeutic, but different. It’s experiential. You don’t have to retell your whole story. The field shows what needs attention.
“Will I feel exposed in a group?”
Group work is confidential and held with care. If it feels too vulnerable, 1:1 is always an option.
If you're curious to explore what's been holding you back – or what might finally set things in motion – let’s begin. A new perspective may be closer than you think.
