Hi Jack,
Tiredness is a very interesting process generally for me. I think it has so
many different layers to it. Sometimes I spend a bit of time talking to
participants about my different experiences with tiredness if several of
them begin to express this as representatives. For me there are several
relevant factors:
1. How big is the group? In particular, how many men do you have? Often, if
the men are in the minority they have to be in nearly every constellation.
2. How many constellations are you trying to get through? Maybe it would be
helpful to slow down and have more breaks, mini constellations, a story,
visualisation in between each one.
3. Most importantly for me, how much feeling is being expressed? If people
are being stimulated by a representation, not much discharge has taken
place or they haven't done much personal work, they can be left triggered
by something without having worked it through. De-roling can help with that
sometimes. Sometimes, there's a lot of emotional expression and that too
can be exhausting. Then, more breaks, more space are needed between
constellations.
4.For me as a facilitator, I have seen that tiredness generally is mostly
to do with held back emotions. There's a certain kind of tiredness which is
a beautiful, relaxed weariness after a hard day's work. That's very
different from tiredness which feels so difficult on a physical level -
backache, headache etc. I sometimes get that as a facilitator when there is
a lot of stuck energy in the group.
5. I had one guy who would come regularly to my workshops and at some point
fall asleep. This happened every time! As I got to know him, I realised
that this was one of the rare places he felt safe and relaxed enough to let
go into sleep. Beautiful! I reminded myself: Make no assumptions about
anything or anyone Barbara.
Best wishes to all
Barbara

I have had a lot of comments lately in my workshops about people being
tired for days after multiple representations. I would love it if some of
this community would share your tips regarding participants leaving my
workshop in the most resourced way possible.
Rituals?
Cleansing?
After care?
Any thoughts and ideas that have worked for your participants would be
helpful.
Love and Gratitude in advance,
Jack Blackwell
