Re: [ConstellationTalk] Changing the description of our work on Wikipedia. Here's what I changed it to:

No doubt someone with a personal investment in keeping the negative out
there. Must be either someone who has had a negative personal experience of
the work or is in some way in competition. Why else would they come back so
quickly and change it back? Interesting why this is happening now, in terms
of field phenomena. Why this negative field around the work at this moment
in time?

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
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine> therapeutic method
which draws on elements of family systems therapy, existential
phenomenology <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_phenomenology>
and Zulu <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_people> attitudes towards
family. Family Constellations explore unresolved generational trauma and
pain that has been passed down through the family system. [1]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Constellations#cite_note-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 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Constellations#cite_note-2> Bert
Hellinger <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Constellations#cite_note-3> The
psychiatrist Iván Böszörményi-Nagy
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iv%C3%A1n_B%C3%B6sz%C3%B6rm%C3%A9nyi-Nagy>
referred to this phenomenon as *Invisible Loyalties*.[4]
