How Family Constellations Work

Family Constellations is a powerful healing modality that explores how unresolved family dynamics and generational patterns affect your current life. Whether in one-on-one sessions or group settings, this work uncovers hidden emotional dynamics, allowing for deep healing and transformation. Below is a detailed description of how Family Constellations work in both individual and group formats.

One-on-One Family Constellations Sessions

In a private Family Constellations session, we work together to explore the dynamics within your family system. The focus is on uncovering how unresolved trauma, unspoken emotions, or generational patterns are influencing your present circumstances, whether in relationships, work, health, or personal fulfillment.

During a one-on-one session, we use objects such as figurines, stones, or other symbolic items to represent family members or important aspects of your life. These objects act as stand-ins for the people and dynamics within your family system. Through this process, we can visualize and map out how these relationships impact your life.

As the facilitator, I guide the process by asking questions, encouraging reflection, and observing the movements and placements of the objects. I may also suggest healing sentences—phrases that help shift the energy and bring clarity to unresolved emotional or relational issues.

If you’re comfortable, we may also use visualizations where you imagine family members or dynamics. This allows you to access deeper emotional insight, which can help resolve inner conflicts or emotional blocks.

Throughout the session, we work to bring awareness and resolution to the hidden family dynamics that are influencing your life. By seeing the full picture and acknowledging the unspoken emotions or unresolved patterns, you’ll experience a release and greater clarity, allowing for healing on both a personal and familial level.

Group Family Constellations Sessions

In a group Family Constellations session, participants take on the roles of representatives for family members, relationships, or other important dynamics in the seeker’s life. This creates a dynamic, collective experience where the energy and emotions of the system are brought to life through the interactions between participants.

Often, participants find themselves intuitively moving or expressing the emotions of these family members without prior knowledge of the family or situation.

As the facilitator, I guide the session by observing the movements, emotions, and interactions of the representatives. I may prompt certain movements or introduce healing sentences to bring clarity and resolution to the constellation. The process allows you to see how hidden dynamics or unresolved emotions are playing out in your life and family.

Representatives in the group often experience shifts in emotion, energy, or physical movement as the constellation unfolds. Healing sentences—powerful phrases that acknowledge what has been hidden or unspoken—are used to shift the energy in the system. These sentences help release stuck emotions and bring resolution to the constellation.

As the constellation moves toward resolution, you’ll gain profound insights into your family system and how it has shaped your life. The collective environment of a group session allows for deep relational healing, both for the seeker and the representatives involved. This can be a transformative experience not only for the individual whose family is being explored but also for the other participants who may find resonance with their own life experiences.
