Dear Annie,
In my training with Heinz Stark, this question came up as well. To my
recollection, his response was to have the person holding the
apparent transference to face the person who the issue was related
to; to speak aloud some healing sentences (I see now that this
belongs to you; I carried it gladly, now I return it to you. I give
it back where it belongs. And in doing so, I honor you as a separate
being, with your own strength. . . ) Then bow deeply to the person
and allow anything that is being carried to return to them. When this
is done, take a moment to remember who YOU are, separate from the
projections, and move forward in a good direction.
I hope that this is helpful. All the best.
namaste,
Kenn Day

Dear colleagues,
As a constellator in New York City I have observed a phenomenon both
within myself and some participants in my groups. I'd appreciate any
comments you may have concerning lingering transference issues.
My initial training as a facilitator was completed five years ago.
Despite initial clearing exercises and the passage of time,I still
retain strong feelings for those group members who represented in my
personal constellations. These feelings persist despite my real-life
knowledge and continued exposure to these people.Participants in my
group have experienced the same phenomenon resulting from powerful
personal work, despite the clearing exercises and cautions that I
offer in our workshops.
I haven't experienced these transferences as a problem, but it
certainly is something of which to be mindful.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
