I have noticed that different facilitators have different ideas and
approaches to aftercare. I see it as crucially important to have aftercare,
not only through a third party, e.g. a counselor (who may think FC is weird)
or a friend (who may be poor at effective listening), but preferably the
facilitator him or herself, who was there at the constellation and who made
decisions on where/how far to go that affected the client.
I realize that some facilitators do address this, to some extent, but I
think much more is needed. It is a very serious business to set such fields
of energies and emotions in motion, and then essentially, leave the clients
to their own devices on processing things afterwards.
This could be as simple as a follow up phone call. I am certain that 9 cases
out of 10, no further follow up would be necessary. In the other 1 case out
of 10 a good talk would probably be enough. In the 1 out of 100 cases (or
less) that present a serious aftermath, such as suicidal thoughts, or a
deepening of depression, the facilitator should work with the client to find
a suitable mechanism for thorough aftercare.

thank-you David for the important sharing.
I think that you also brought up a crucial point which is the care
after a workshop. from my own experience, i have also felt very low,
shaky and afraid after a couple of workshops that I had attended and
had to get over it almost on my own.
