Hello All,
Doing a therapeutic constellation does not need to be a challenge to self
worth. It can be a worthwhile educational / personal development tool. Just
don’t call it therapy. What’s in a name? There are few who could not
benefit from increased awareness, support and understanding.
Best wishes,
Robert

Hi everyone,
I have a friend with a 4-year old son who often gets angry and
frustrated. Often, it simply sounds like he's being a four year-old. But
other times there is a buried hurt inside the anger which he is just too
young to recognise, let alone verbalise.
So I am curious, if anyone has experience of using the methods of
individual constellations to help children communicate things they don't
know how to communicate.
Please note, I'm NOT enquiring about doing a therapeutic constellation
either with the little boy or for him. I don't think anyone involved
needs therapy.
Rather, I'm interested if there is a way of using markers on the floor -
cushions or coloured felts etc - to convert communication about feelings
from the realm of talk, which he is years away from mastering, into the
realm of movement.
For example, I could imagine starting with a game with felt markers for
eg the characters in "The Cat in the Hat" [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_in_the_Hat ] and say eg "OK, so
the boy is HERE and the girl is HERE and the cat is THERE, where would
the fish be?" [the fish is angry and afraid]. And so introduce the
notion of position relating to emotions.
Has anyone any experience of this?
Best regards to all
Andrew
