First of all I want to say, I am offering this as a starting point. I am not
offering this as a definitive description. I welcome your thoughts and changes.
But I did want to remove the skeptical language that someone how infused
throughout the first 3 pages.
I don't mind a critical critique being on the page, but I felt that the
critique was VERY biased to the negative.
I do not know that my changes will hold as they could be changed back. But for
this moment they are live.
Again, I offer this as a starting point and I feel very strongly about the
shifted negatively skewed language that I removed.
Please share your thoughts:
Family Constellations is an alternative therapeutic method which draws on
elements of family systems therapy, existential phenomenology and Zulu
attitudes towards family. Family Constellations explore unresolved generational
trauma and pain that has been passed down through the family system. [1] In a
single session, a Family Constellation can reveal previously unrecognized
systemic dynamics that can span multiple generations in a given family and
impact each successive generation.
Family Constellations are noted to heal in many ways. Two of the most common
are: shifting the energetic entanglements and hidden loyalties that have the
client following in the family footsteps and showing the client a more complete
picture of the family system which can allow the client greater compassion,
love and connection with the family.
Practitioners note that present-day problems and difficulties may be influenced
by traumas suffered in previous generations of the family, (See epigenetics)
even if those affected now are unaware of the original event in the past. A
theoretical foundation for this concept is called The Ancestor Syndrome in
psychology.[2] Bert Hellinger, creator of Family Constellation work, referred
to the relation between present and past problems that are not caused by direct
personal experience as Systemic entanglements and occur when unresolved trauma
has afflicted a family through an event such as murder, suicide, death of a
mother in childbirth, early death of a parent or sibling, war, natural
disaster, emigration, or abuse.[3] The psychiatrist Iván Böszörményi-Nagy
referred to this phenomenon as Invisible Loyalties.[4]
