Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ's)
Family Constellation therapy is a powerful healing modality that helps uncover hidden dynamics within family systems, ancestral patterns, and unresolved issues that may be affecting your life today. It involves mapping out your family structure and using representative elements to bring clarity to unresolved emotions, conflicts, and patterns.
During a session, either in person or online, we explore the issue you’re facing by representing different family members or aspects of the situation with representatives (or paper slips in online sessions). Through guided interaction, the process reveals how certain dynamics from your family system may be influencing your present life. The insights gained help to shift those dynamics and facilitate healing and resolution.
Family Constellation is ideal for anyone experiencing repeating patterns, emotional blocks, relationship conflicts, or health issues with no clear medical cause. It is also helpful for people looking to explore unresolved family dynamics, ancestral issues, or emotional challenges that seem deeply rooted. It’s suitable for individuals, couples, and even organizations.
No, you don’t need to involve your family members directly. The work focuses on your personal perception of the family system, and we use representatives (or paper slips) to symbolize the different members or elements in your life. You can achieve deep healing and insights without needing your family to participate.
Family Constellations can help with:
Relationship conflicts (family, romantic, friendships)
Repeating patterns in your life (e.g., career, relationships, personal growth)
Unresolved grief and loss
Emotional blocks (e.g., feelings of being stuck)
Health issues with no clear medical cause
Family traumas passed down through generations
Ancestral patterns and unresolved family issues
Organizational and leadership challenges in business settings
No, while Family Constellation is rooted in family systems, it can also be applied to various areas such as relationships, personal development, health, and even professional or organizational dynamics. The key is identifying underlying patterns or dynamics that may be contributing to your current challenges.
In a session (typically 60 minutes), we start by discussing the issue or challenge you’d like to resolve. We then use representatives (or paper slips in online sessions) to symbolize key family members or dynamics. As the constellation unfolds, we observe the relationships and energy between the representatives, which brings to light any hidden dynamics. We then work to resolve these patterns, leading to insights and healing.
1:1 Session: Suitable for returning clients familiar with the process and comfortable channeling on their own. It’s a more focused, personalized experience.
1:1 with Channel Partner: Ideal for first-time clients or those who need extra support. The channel partner assists with guiding the energy and observing the dynamics, making the process smoother and more supportive.
Yes, Family Constellation is effective both in person and online. During online sessions, we use representatives (often paper slips) to represent the key people or dynamics in your family system. The same insights and resolutions are possible as long as you are open and engaged in the process.
This depends on the complexity of the issue. Some clients experience significant shifts after just one session, while others may benefit from multiple sessions to explore different layers of their family or personal dynamics. During your first session, we can discuss whether additional sessions may be helpful.
For 1:1 sessions, we will guide you to prepare paper slips representing the people or dynamics involved in your challenge. You’ll receive detailed instructions after booking.
For all sessions, the most important preparation is to come with an open mind, without specific expectations, and trust that whatever is meant to be revealed will come to light during the session. This process works best when approached with faith in the guidance that unfolds.
It’s perfectly natural to feel strong emotions during Family Constellation, as we often touch on deep-rooted issues. You will be guided and supported throughout the session, and we create a safe space for you to express and process these emotions. Many clients find emotional release to be a crucial part of the healing process.
If you are experiencing repeating life patterns, conflicts in relationships, unexplained health issues, or feel stuck emotionally, Family Constellation may be a powerful tool for you.
Yes, Family Constellations can be applied to organizational dynamics. This process can reveal hidden issues within a company, such as leadership challenges, communication breakdowns, or team conflicts, leading to improved team cohesion and productivity. We offer both online and in-person organizational constellation sessions tailored to business environments.
Traditional therapy typically involves one-on-one talk sessions with a therapist over time, focusing on cognitive and emotional processes. Family Constellation, however, involves working with representatives or symbols (in this case, paper slips) to uncover unconscious dynamics and patterns within your family or system. It’s more experiential and focused on observing systemic dynamics.
Family Constellation is a powerful tool for resolving emotional and relational issues, but not all problems can be solved through this method. It’s important to set realistic expectations. Some challenges may require additional support, such as medical treatment or other therapeutic modalities. During the session, we’ll explore whether Family Constellation is the right path for resolving your specific issue.
The timing of a shift varies for each person. Some clients experience immediate insights and emotional shifts during or shortly after the session. For others, the process is more gradual, with changes unfolding over days, weeks, or even months. In some cases, clients have reported receiving a “download” months or even years after their session, noticing how the insights slowly but surely shifted the trajectory of their life.
The most important thing is to approach the process with openness and trust, allowing the healing and shifts to emerge in their own time.
