Well, first pitfall for me was the training I had received that emphasized
hierarchy. There are articles (in a language other than English) describing
the three-tier power structure of the constellations group with the client
and facilitator at the top of the pyramid and the observers at the lowest.
Co-facilitation did not fit nicely into such image and was frowned upon.
With my rebellious mind that of course urged me to more to experiment than
to obey.
I did gain some insights from family therapy where various co-therapist,
consultant, supervisor positions are utilized and described. Also helpful
was Maurizio Andolfi's utilization of the identified patient as a
co-therapist. So reading up on some of this made things mentally more loose.
After that I found co-facilitating quite fruitful.
With a client group that we ran a couple of times the trouble we ran into
-- I believe that's a classic of group co-facilitation -- was not enough
preparation and processing. We ended up each doing our own thing. So that
was that group.
all the best

Dear Constellations Community,
I am asking you for discussion about co-facilitation.
What has worked well for you?
What have been the pitfalls you've encountered?
Do you have a suggested co-facilitation agreement between facilitators?
Thank you.
Jeffrey
