Family Constellation
Family constellation is a systemic therapy developed by the German Bert Hellinger, which is based on the principle that many of our emotional, behavioral, and even physical problems are linked to unconscious dynamics inherited from our family system — including past generations.
📌 What is Family Constellation?
It's a therapeutic approach that seeks to identify and resolve hidden patterns of suffering that may be repeated due to unconscious loyalty to family. The constellation can be performed in a group or individually, using people, dolls, or objects to represent family members or parts of the system.
🎯 What is it for?
It is used to:
- Understanding family conflicts and difficult relationships
- Investigate repetitive patterns of behavior or failure
- Treating emotional pain with no apparent cause
- Help with health issues, financial difficulties, career problems, among others
- Working through unresolved grief, family trauma, adoption, abortions, etc.
🌟 Benefits of Family Constellation
- Raising awareness of the origin of certain conflicts
- Feeling of emotional relief and release of burdens that do not belong to the person
- Improvement in family and interpersonal relationships
- Greater acceptance of one's own story
- Strengthening belonging and self-esteem
- Possibility of profound transformations without long therapeutic processes
⚠️ Care when making a constellation
- Please understand that this is not a substitute for ongoing psychological or psychiatric monitoring, if necessary.
- It can bring up intense emotions, so it's ideal to be emotionally prepared and have support.
- It should not be used as a magic formula: the process can be profound, but not necessarily “quick”
💬 Why do we recommend family constellation?
Because it offers a profound, symbolic, and loving way of seeing issues that reason cannot resolve. We often feel stuck or experiencing repetitions without understanding why—and the constellation shows that there are stories before ours that continue to influence us.
It is especially useful when:
- You've tried other therapies, but you feel like something deeper is still pending.
- You carry pain or guilt that you don't understand
- There are recurring problems in your life (relationships, money, health, addictions)
- Want to reconcile with your history and your parents
