Individual Trauma & Family Constellations
Individual Trauma & Family Constellations
What is an Individual Family Constellation?
An Individual Family Constellation session is a personalised therapeutic approach designed to explore and resolve the hidden dynamics influencing your emotional, relational, or physical well-being. This method uncovers unconscious patterns, emotional entanglements, and deep-rooted issues contributing to your current challenges. By revealing these dynamics, Family Constellations provide profound insights and help guide you toward resolution and healing.
How Does an Individual Family Constellation Work in a 1:1 Setting?
During an individual session, both you and I will use floor markers to represent different aspects of yourself, family members, or relationships. You will intuitively place these markers in the space, and together we stand on the markers, creating a living picture of the underlying dynamics affecting your issue. By physically stepping into these positions, both you and I resonate with the specific roles, allowing us to access the deeper dynamics within your system. This shared resonance reveals hidden patterns, entanglements with family members, and connections to previous generations that may be unconsciously influencing your current situation.
As the session unfolds, you'll gain clarity on how these hidden dynamics are contributing to challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or health concerns. The pace of the session is determined by what emerges, and we may pause to reflect on and integrate the insights before moving forward. My role is to guide the process, ensuring a supportive space where you can fully engage with the experience.
Why is Individual Family Constellation Effective?
Family Constellations is a highly effective, solution-focused method that uncovers the systemic influences shaping your life. By examining the emotional and psychological imprints carried through family systems or significant life experiences, the session helps identify and release unconscious burdens. This process allows you to gain new perspectives, experience deeper emotional healing, and break free from long-standing patterns, reconnecting with your true self. These sessions are ideal for addressing:
- Anxiety, depression, phobias
- Bereavement, loss, trauma
- Eating disorders, insomnia, obsessive behaviours
- Relationship struggles, including couple dynamics
- Sexual difficulties, abuse, addiction
- Health-related issues
As we work through the constellation, the session reveals previously unconscious dynamics, offering new insights and perspectives. This relational picture provides a powerful framework for understanding your situation in a broader context, helping you move toward resolution and greater well-being. Additionally, this method is highly beneficial when navigating difficult life choices. By observing these decisions unfold through the constellation process, you gain unique clarity and insight, enabling you to make more informed and confident choices at critical crossroads.
Incorporating Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT)
In addition to Family Constellations, I incorporate Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT), a method that focuses on healing trauma-related identity fragmentation. Through IoPT, we explore how trauma has impacted your sense of self, creating psychological splits that disconnect you from your true identity. By combining IoPT and Family Constellations, we can address both systemic family influences and trauma's effects on personal identity, offering a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing and transformation.
Online and In-Person Sessions
Both in-person and online sessions via Zoom are available. Whether we meet face-to-face or online, the process remains equally effective. Online constellations are facilitated in much the same way, with deep insights and shifts occurring even in a virtual setting. The experience of standing on markers, resonating with the roles, and witnessing the constellation unfold can be just as transformative online as in person.
How often do I need to come?
Unlike traditional counselling, which often involves weekly appointments, Family Constellations offers greater flexibility. After each session, you decide how frequently you'd like to return. The insights and experiences gained during a constellation may take time to integrate into your life, and the process of fully absorbing these new understandings is different for everyone.
