One case study from the last Family Constellations workshop. (shared with full consent of the participant):

This guy came along because he has been to my workshops before and always finds them helpful. Today one of his eyes was red and a bit sore, he said he had been thinking about his deceased father more than usual, he didn’t know why, but he was also keen to look at what his red eye might be linked to.

Together we chatted briefly about his dad, sure enough his dad suffered with eye problems as he got older, and he remembered his paternal grandmother did too (his father’s mother). In fact she had actually lost one eye. He then remembered this grandmother used to talk about a brother she had had, who had died in the First World War.

That was enough information for us to set up people to represent himself, his dad, the grandmother and brother.

With gentle movements and quietly trusting our bodily sensations and movements and some healing sentences, things shifted both in his body and in the systemic constellation that we could see playing out in the room.

It would seem that his grandmother had suffered immense grief from her brother dying and had literally struggled to ‘look’ at this pain in her system. Maybe her eye problem was linked to not wanting to look at the missing brother, we can’t be sure but often body pain is linked to trauma further back in the system.

Sometimes these past traumas stick in our systems and get passed down to us. Our ancestors often didn’t have time or space to look at emotional trauma. If we are carrying some of these traumas for them, the systemic constellation method is fantastic for helping us re-balance the system.

As Thomas Hubl says ‘everything that opens up and enters into relationship can be healed’.

I just wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful workshop last Saturday !✨✨💕what a wonderful small group of such lovely people! So much love , understanding and support of one another . I was really moved . 

I really got a lot out of the work we did. I feel I sit in my rightful place in alignment with my ancestors now and I understand my mother more and feel a lot more at peace with her as well as gratitude and compassionate understanding for her .

Thank you Emma. Your calm loving unwavering support was truly inspirational and beautiful to observe .

Thank you to all who attended. I hope they all felt as empowered as I did after.

Thank you for the recent workshop, it was amazing that my dad rang me a few days after the workshop and actually wants to meet up with me and my partner. I don’t feel so worried about my family dynamics, things feel lighter. I realise it’s ok to look after myself before trying to be a caretaker to my parents. I feel more respect for them now and realise they are more capable than I was giving them credit for. I never cried in the years of therapy I had, but it was an amazing experience to cry in a group and not feel judged at all.

I just wanted to let you know that my daughter is being nicer to me. I can hardly believe how things have shifted. The sibling order had got confused in the family; just stating the factual order out loud when things feel chaotic at home is helping us all be kinder to each other. I am looking forward to another workshop and my daughter is very curious to attend too, after noticing the calmer environment at home. You are really good at your job.
