Family Constellation
Next workshop: Saturday, June 10th in Saint-Hyacinthe! (in French)
WHAT ARE CONSTELLATIONS
A POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC METHOD!
Constellations are group activities during which, guided by a therapist, the participants recreate a representation of a problem or a situation for one of them. By working together, they make the situation evolve and eventually create in everyone who is present, a deep and powerful personal transformation.
BECAUSE OUR STORY STARTED A LONG AGO
Without even knowing it, we sometimes take on the missions and pay the debts of certain members of our family lineage which can be seen in our blockages and our incapacities to improve ourselves and our own life. We thus remain locked up in spite of efforts in unconscious roles that have been transmitted to us, repeating behaviors that are not ours, to respect traditions of which we know very little but more often than not, absolutely nothing.
RESOLUTION, TRANSFORMATION, LIBERATION
Everyone's family history through the generations that preceded us, often hides conflicts, exclusions, traumas, betrayals, injustices, abandonments as well as many other secrets. And although they do not belong to us, these have been transmitted to us and have taken shape in our lives. They subsist and act without our knowledge in our behaviors, our relational issues, our thoughts and in all kinds of blockages, limits and beliefs that color our personality and our daily life. By shedding light on these little-known or totally unknown stories of our ancestors, it allows us to free ourselves from their invisible chains to finally live a more serene and full life!
PROCEDURE OF A CONSTELLATIONS WORKSHOP
CONSTELLATION PLACEMENT
During a Constellation Workshop, the participants and the therapist place several constellations. A group constellation usually goes like this:
1) PROBLEM: The person who wishes to make his constellation (the constellator) discusses briefly with the therapist in order to name what he wishes to explore in his constellation.
2) PLACEMENT: The constellator then selects among the members of the group, representatives to play different roles (notably himself as well as certain members of his family) and/or different themes (such as love, happiness, fear, money, war, abandonment, etc.) that are found in his life and his family history. These representatives are placed in the center of the room, then the constellator sits down to watch his constellation unfolds.
3) UNFOLDING: The therapist questions the representatives to find out what is experienced by each of them. As they do not know the people or the themes they represent, they rely on feelings, intuition and impulses. These can take the form of a desire to express a few words, to make some movement or by a feeling that appears in their body (eg: heat, heaviness, joy or overflowing energy, etc.) Like an orchestra conductor, the therapist collects this information and lets the scene evolve under the attentive gaze of the constellator.
4) BLOCK: Then comes a moment when no more movement is possible in the constellation, thus expressing the real and profound problem. The therapist, helped by the representatives, then makes changes and creates openings towards a resolution.
5) RESOLUTION: The constellator will finally be asked to take on his own role in the constellation, thus having the opportunity to fully experience the resolution, the transformation and above all, the powerful impact of this change which is taking place in all the fibers of their body and in his lineage.
A RICH EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE
Beyond the roles that each assumes during a constellation (constellator, representative or even supporting the scene), all those who are present during a constellation benefit from this rich experience in a very personal way. Each of these experiences acts as a window on our own history and our own inner world, thus giving us many opportunities to make important realizations and even to initiate very interesting, even completely surprising changes! In addition, by working on our stories, our whole family system benefits from it, just as freeing a part of the body from its suffering allows the whole body to function more smoothly.
