Hi,
Nice to have you back Sneh.
Reading these posts on Trauma prompts me to think that something is
missing, the client. We can say that it depends more about the
practitioner than the method, which i have much agreement with, but i
have a respect for the client as well, and their awareness of what
they can process. I have had instances when i have wanted to stop a
constellation because i felt unsafe, but clients and the group wanted
to continue. Also regarding the idea that the client can't go farther
than the teacher can go, i have learnt so much from my clients, this
does not ring true, for me.
My sense of a constellation workshop is that it has many purposes and
healings, one of those is the connection people feel with each-other
and themselves at the workshop. i think this is part of the reason
clients may not get overwhelmed if they face again some trauma.

Hi Meredith (or is Zaquie your first name?), painful to hear about
your bad experience in breath work. Sometimes I forget that there are
indeed many inexperienced people out there. In Constellation work of
course too. And Anngwynn, of course you are right about what helps in
finding resolution. I am just wondering that we all did not get more
traumatized with all the many experiences we dived into, often quite
innocently...that brings me back to my idea that it is the person,
using the technique who matters. Maybe a person of understanding and
compassion can be such a strong resource needed for the balance on
the level of the nervous system. That could explain also, why shamans
when they train, do not have much "fall out" amongst their students
we hear from even if many of their techniques lead straight into the
center of the deepest fear and pain. I am still exploring this idea.
