Hi Robert, Denis and All.
I'm not sure what you mean Robert that the Sydney group has "faded out some
time ago". Maybe we have been quiet recently on constellation talk, but we
have an active and ongoing peer support group in Sydney that has been meeting
for 3 years? At times it has slowed down as these things often do, but it
has been continuous and is once again thriving. You would be greatly
welcomed if ever you decide to join us
I have been wanting to respond to you Denis in regards to your questions.
My approach is mostly to be present for the client and then trust the field
and the clients questions and moves etc. The danger can sometimes be that we
may think that we as facilitators need to “fix” their problems and became too
concerned for them. I know for myself that when I become concerned about the
client, that this is my issue and not theirs.
I heard Hellinger say that when the facilitator is very concerned about a
client to "Close your eyes and see your client in front of you and then
withdraw your concern and just stay Present". That really spoke to me …
because if I become too concerned, then the client will pick that up and
assume that to be a part of their own "problem”.
Carl Jung said : "Learn your theory well, but put it aside when you touch
another human being". So Denis, trust your knowing , care and presence and
the group intelligence will be there… The more I think that I know what I
need to do , the more I will block the guidance and “solution” for the client.
Thank you for the posts, its really great to hear different points of view ,
knowing that there is no right or wrong , only our own perceptions. Warm
regards Maria (Sydney)
Hi Everyone,

G'day All,
At the end of Nov. co-facilitating a program called "The Vets Journey Home".
It is the first time in Australia for this cultural adaptation of a
successful USA program which now serves Paramedics & other emergency
services as well as Vets.
I am wondering if any of you have worked with Vets and / or PTSD and have
anything like processes or experiences that you might share.
In discussions with my US piers I am given to understand much of the work is
listening and then facilitating an often powerful and deeply emotional
process for an each individual when they arrive at the place of being ready.
I "feel" there could be some healthy appropriate way to apply constellation
work yet I seem to have a mental block as to how that might be. Unusually
for me I seem to be stuck in the place of "I must get this right for the
participants"....:-)
Sooooo Help please. I'm really interested in what you have to say, even if
it is simply stretching your imagination and general experience to looking
outside the box for something that might benefit these people.
Many thanks
Love, Light and Laughter...Den
