Get to the ROOT of what's holding you back
so you can live the life you truly desire.
Family Constellations helped me transform my life,
it can do the same for you.

Did you know that many of the challenges we face in life:
relationship struggles, illness, career issues, can stem from
unresolved loyalties to issues in your birth family & ancestors?

Family Constellations is a powerful process that helps us live freer,
happier more fulfilling lives by transforming these issues and
aligning us with our fullest potential.

Resolve Relationship & Lifestyle Issues with

Family Constellations   

• Resolve conflicts

• Move from painful, unhealthy relationships and lifestyles to love, joy & harmony

• Discover the source of limiting beliefs; unhealthy habits & painful behaviour patterns
  Transform negative thinking that causes stress & upset

• Release emotional pain and traumas of your childhood, past relationships & former generations

We are all Members of Systems;
family, work, business, school, society.

These systems have profound and at times disturbing influences within our lives, resulting in symptoms such as depression, addictive behaviours, psychosomatic disorders or an inability to form lasting, fulfilling relationships.

Family Constellation work brings to light the dynamics that cause such disturbances.

These often arise; believe it or not; from the unresolved conflicts of former generations.
You can become entwined as a child in the emotions and traumas of other family members and take them with you into adulthood believing they are your own. This can lead to disfunctional behaviour and acts of blind compulsion.  

Disturbances to the Orders of Love in previous generations will inevitably affect the lives of both concurrent and future generations.

When this profound influence is understood, individual suffering is revealed in a whole new light and so is healed.

This approach looks at the facts of life and death stripped bare, avoiding any defences, distortions or denials.

Joanne facilitates in a way that is gentle, honest and built on unwavering compassion.

Why You Can Benefit

In almost every family there are things that have happened that can disturb the harmony of the family. It is important that no one is ever forgotten or shut out of a family. On every level there is a need for balance between giving and receiving (between individuals, families & larger groups such as nations). Usually we are unaware of the fact that we are in touch with everybody and everything in a family system and everybody and everything is in touch with us. The family system is bigger, greater and older than we are, and we are unconsciously subjected to it.

There are certain events that have a deep residual impact on family members, such as:

An early death of parents or grandparents

Tragic accidents where a member of the family has died

Divorce

Miscarriages, Stillbirths, Abortions, Death of a Child

War

Adoptions

A member of the family forced into the role of “Black Sheep"

 How it Works

A Family Constellation is created where members of a group are asked to represent members of a family. Everyone is intuitively placed in a position, including an individual that takes the place of yourself whereby the family constellation comes to life. Those who represent family members begin to feel the emotions, fears and desires of the persons concerned. Skilled facilitation of the emerging process often results in a movement towards a deep healing of the disharmony manifest within an individual and their family system. Thus disharmony comes to light. In a very remarkable and astounding way, the true story of the family is expressed and clearly seen.

Everyone needs to be remembered and honoured fully.

Usually we are unaware of the fact that we are in touch with everybody and everything in a family system and everybody and everything is in touch with us. The family system is bigger, greater and older than we are, and we are unconsciously subjected to it. If someone in our family was cut off in the movement of life, e.g. suffered an early death, somebody else in our field will subconsciously sense this and feel the obligation to compensate, trying to continue the interrupted movement of the first person. Most likely, if the person who was cut off was forgotten or shut out of the family, the person representing him/her resonates with him/her. Everyone needs to be remembered and honoured fully.

Some examples of issues and resolutions in the workshop or session:

1)   A mother said that her middle son was angry with her and she didn't know what to do. He was getting bad marks at school and was defiant and rebellious at home. The woman had been married once before (without children) and had no respect for her ex-husband. She belittled her marriage and thought of it as a mistake. On setting up her constellation, we saw that her son was in contact with her ex-husband because the latter was shut out and did not have a place in that family system. The son had identified with the ex-husband and had taken on his feelings. His heartfelt expression was: "Nobody sees you, but I do. I‘m going to take care that you aren’t forgotten. My father only could step into that place because you left". The resolution was for the mother to honour her ex-husband as a part of her life that she had chosen to be that way and the son could be free without the need to carry this for his mother.

 

2)   A woman said that she was not loved by her mother, and that it took all her energy to get her attention. Before her mother married, she had been engaged to another man who had died of cancer when they were both 22 years old. Soon after, the mother married and had children, one of which was the group participant. When we set up the constellation, we saw that the mother was still so much in love with her fiancé, and so drawn to him that she had no attention or energy for her present family. The resolution was for the participant to speak to her mother and tell her: "Now I can see how difficult it was for you. I am going to let you go and stand with dad. That is my good place. But I will always have a big place in my heart for you".

3)   A man said that he had difficulty finding a partner, and no woman seemed right. Usually when he did find a partner, the relationship didn’t last long. He had had several girlfriends. His first was at high school, but he left her for a new partner. After we set up the constellation with him and his first girl-friend, it was obvious that their relationship was not over. In their hearts they were still together without being aware of it. By honouring the relationship of 22 years ago, they could finally part with love and face a new relationship. He said to her (i.e. her representative): "Now I see how much I hurt you. I’m sorry for what I did to you. If you ever need me, I’ll be there for you. I’m going to take you into my heart to become a part of my life. And when I’m happy with a new partner, I will think of you and honour you. Thank you."
