Family Constellations is a way to heal trauma – from our own lives and inherited from our ancestry.

Trauma can manifest as behavioral problems, addictions, relationship problems, violence, health issues, and much more. The process of Family Constellations allows us to reveal the source of these problems, honor those from whom they came, and let go of what isn’t ours, with honor and without judgment.

The result is not only our own healing, but healing for the whole family system. We are left with compassion and gratitude, allowing us to live our own lives with love and purpose.

This is important to hear. Every parent makes mistakes. But we all do the best we can. Just as our parents did.

Bert Hellinger taught in Family Constellations that if we judge our parents, we will be just like them. We repeat what we judge. It’s humbling. But it’s also empowering. We have total control over this. The more we heal our wounds, resentments, and judgments, the more we can see our parents with honor and close the gap – rather than feel superior to them. 💔>💞 It’s a choice we make. 🙌🏼

They tell estranged parents to heal quietly.
To accept blame without question.
To grieve without speaking.

Because the moment a parent names their devastation, it’s called selfish.
The moment they defend themselves, it’s called denial.
And the moment they question the story, they’re labeled unsafe.

This isn’t healing.
It’s erasure.

Grief doesn’t mean guilt.
Pain doesn’t equal abuse.
And losing a child — in any form — is allowed to devastate a parent.

Say it anyway.

It was a wonderful potluck last night! The small group constellations were vulnerable and beautiful, restoring relationships with mom and dad and opening the way to be fully present with our partners. 💖

“In the eyes of our partner we look for our mother’s eyes, regardless of whether we are male or female.”
~ Bert Hellinger

This is such a loving group. So grateful! 💞
We’ll do another potluck in a few months! 🙏🏼

In Family Constellations, we learn that we can be the wounded child, the punitive parent, or the mature adult.

If we don’t heal our wounds, we end up living our adult lives as a wounded child.

If we don’t recognize that our parents did the best they could – with their own woundedness – then we dishonor them by being the punitive parent towards them.

But if we can learn to become the mature adult, accepting what was, taking responsibility for our wounds, releasing our judgments, and seeing our parents as people who gave us life in spite of their struggles… then we can grow up, be the parent to ourselves that our own parents didn’t know how to be, and finally have the loving relationships we have always craved – including with our parents. It is not only possible, but it will heal our lives and our family system more than we can ever imagine! 💖

“Is it time to cut off your mom?”
ㅤ
In extreme, abusive situations, no contact can be necessary.
But we’ve turned it into a default instead of a last resort.
ㅤ
Most family tension isn’t trauma.
It’s generational difference, immaturity, unmet expectations, and a lack of shared language.
ㅤ
You don’t heal families by disappearing from them.
You heal them by learning how to lead, relate, and repair across generations.
ㅤ
Sometimes the real work isn’t cutting people off.
It’s growing up enough to stay connected.

This is an integral part of what we do in Family Constellations. It’s perfectly expressed here. Our thanks to ❤️🙏🏼

When I first met my inner child, she didn’t live in my memories. She lived deep in my body — quiet, watchful, and hidden.

She arrived like a messenger, carrying wounds that had been protected for so long that I questioned their reality. Not because they weren’t real, but because they had learned how to survive by staying unseen.

At first, she kept her distance. She wasn’t willing to leave the place she had occupied for years — the place where vigilance felt safer than hope. She believed she was protecting something precious. She didn’t yet know she was protecting me.

Her face was covered by her hands. Not to be dramatic — but to avoid seeing what once felt unbearable. Her shoulders were raised, braced for impact. Her nervous system already fluent in scanning the room, reading tone, anticipating shifts — long before she had words for any of it.

I thought she had come so I could rescue someone else. I didn’t yet understand that she had come to rescue me.

Slowly, over time, she allowed herself to come into view. Only when I was ready. Only when I could meet her without rushing, fixing, or turning away.

And then there was the moment I will never forget: She ran to me. Out of the room where she had been holding a memory alone for so long — guarding, protecting, and quietly shutting down.

As I held her, something remarkable happened. The scattered versions of me
— the vigilant one, the strong one, the distant one — began to soften and find their place. Not erased. Integrated. Finally welcomed into the present.

This work isn’t easy. It takes time. Repetition. Patience. It asks us to question the stories we once needed to survive, and to let memories surface only when they are ready to be held.

But most of all, it asks for us — the adult we needed then, the presence we longed for — to kneel down, open our arms, and say: “I’m here now. You don’t have to do this alone anymore. You are safe.”

“If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self-mastery tool that keeps realigning me with my higher purpose for living.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

This can be a tough one. We are all wanting to be happy and loved. So naturally we look to the people in our lives – our parents, our siblings, our friends, and eventually a partner. But no one can fulfill us, and we can’t fulfill anyone else, because we are all connected to the Divine. That’s where our fulfillment lies: in the perfect unconditional love. ✨

In Family Constellations, we can see how not finding the love we needed as children created wounds, judgments, and resentments. These become heavy weights that we carry with us and make it so we cannot be fully present for others, even those we cherish.

Those childhood wounds are real and need to be seen and honored. Those judgments kept us safe and helped us survive, and they also need to be seen and honored. Those resentments are natural responses to the hurt and betrayal we experienced. All of it needs to be seen and honored. That’s what we do in Family Constellations.

And then those burdens naturally melt away and uncover the innate love and acceptance we have for others. It’s unconditional. That is our nature and our essence. We received that from the Divine. As Bert Hellinger taught, we are the “little ones” to the “Highest,” and we all belong. 💖

“Society’s Shock Absorbers” = women. 😰

It’s not that men can’t or don’t also do this, but it is most common with women. Women are the ones who bear children and give life. Women – especially mothers – therefore want to make sure that everyone is safe, fed, sheltered, held, and loved. They give and give, and everyone else takes.

They are often trained and conditioned that their worth is in the giving, and that taking – including taking care of themselves or not take care of others – is selfish. Then the guilt sets in, the suppressed and repressed emotions are buried, and then the physical body says, “Enough!” in the form of disease.

In Family Constellations and German New Medicine (which we also work with), we can decipher what the body is saying through symptoms, see what we are carrying that isn’t ours (that is driving us to give in order to have value), and reclaim our own lives and health.

We aren’t meant to be shock absorbers at the cost of our own lives and health. It’s not our job to save the world or our families. They are capable. 🙌🏼

This is one of the patterns that show up in Family Constellations: repeating as an unconscious attempt to correct, compensate for, or simply be loyal to our parents or other parts of our family system.

Bert Hellinger, who developed Family Constellations, taught that we cannot correct, compensate for, or heal what isn’t ours. And that in trying to do so, it is a type of judgment – judgment that our parents or others who came before us were not capable. It is this judgment that guarantees that we will repeat.

Through the process of Family Constellations, we can see what we are carrying that isn’t ours, why we were carrying it, and then set it down where it belongs, with those capable ancestors who came before us. They survived and gave us life. That’s all they needed to do for us to be here. We can then receive the strength and love that we were meant to have and do something amazing with our lives – with our OWN lives, rather than replaying somebody else’s life.

“Why do I keep doing this?” is a familiar question in the therapeutic space.

Our repetitions hold so much powerful information if we are to look below the surface.

Often it is the psyche’s way of trying to right the ship, course correct, or circle back to the places within us that still hurt.

When we can get curious about this, it can become an invitation to know ourselves deeper and to witness the pain that we’ve been carrying - often alone 🤍

Being the one in your family who “sees” what’s going on – the patterns, the hypocrisy, the masks, the denial – and being the one who decides to choose differently can be both freeing and alienating. We want confirmation for what we’re seeing and validation for what we’re doing because we want connection. It’s intrinsic to who we are.

But often we get criticism and rejection. And then we feel guilt, usually because our wounded child selves don’t want to lose mother and father, so there is this unspoken and unconscious taboo on choosing differently. Hence the guilt.

But as Nick says here, don’t let this stop you. It’s important to heal that child self and the wounds we carry. Once we do, we can see our parents and family with compassion rather than through our own need for acceptance. We will instead accept them, just as they are. That’s where the connection is.

This work that we do will create a ripple effect of unconditional love throughout our entire family system, and we will be the longed-for blessing everyone has been waiting for. 💞

Cycle breaking often comes with guilt.

But it’s not necessarily because you are wrong. It can be because you are changing the rules of a system you once belonged to.

Not everyone deals with guilt like this. Sometimes it’s been so long trying to play along that it simply feels like a relief to step away.

But if guilt does show up, learning to tolerate it without letting it pull you back into old roles is can be a critical part of your work.
