Have you ever felt like you’ve tried everything to overcome a stubborn issue, only to find yourself still stuck in the same patterns? Like many of us, I was on a journey of seeking healing, exploring countless options in hopes of finding relief from a severe anxiety disorder and a mysterious illness that plagued me for years.
My story
For many years, I was on a constant search for healing. Like many of you, I tried countless treatments, with each offering I thought this is it, only to find some measure of relief. There were moments that left me in awe, at the power of these healing practices. There’s truly so much potent healing available in the world. However, despite all the incredible work I experienced, I was unable to overcome a very severe and stubborn anxiety disorder that had taken over my life. It was a deep, pervasive feeling of worry and fear that I couldn’t shake off, no matter how hard I tried. This wasn’t just a minor struggle; it was a profound problem that affected every aspect of my being.
As if that wasn’t enough, at some point, I was struck by a mysterious illness. This illness lingered for about 19 years, adding layers of physical and emotional pain to my already heavy burden. I became a traveler on a healing journey, seeking out some of the most powerful healers and treatments from around the globe. Each encounter infused with hope that this time, I might find the breakthrough I desperately needed.
And yet, despite all the traveling, all the healers, and all the treatments, the core issues remained. It was as if I was constantly peeling away layers of an onion, only to find more layers beneath. The anxiety and mysterious illness were intertwined, each feeding off the other in a vicious cycle that seemed unbreakable.
What is family constellation
Then I tried family constellation therapy, and I finally found a new way to heal that digs into hidden family influences and patterns. This approach addresses all sorts of problems from minor troubles to major health and psychological issues, uncovering the core reasons behind them and deep insights into their origins. Learn more about what issues are addressed in a family constellation here.
Family Constellation Therapy operates on the understanding that many of our challenges are not solely rooted in our individual experiences or psychology but are deeply intertwined with the dynamics of our family system. Through this work, we explore the hidden influences of our family soul, the collective energy field that connects us to our ancestors, the unseen forces that shape our lives influencing our relationships and behaviors. This soul seeks balance and harmony, often manifesting in our lives through patterns of behavior and recurring themes.
One of the key ideas in Family Constellation Therapy is the concept of a “family energy field,” which holds the memories and energy of our family across generations. This field tries to keep everything balanced and whole, even if it shows up in surprising ways in our lives.
Just like birds flying together or fish swimming in sync without crashing into each other, our family operates within this energy field, influenced by unseen forces that affect our behavior and relationships. Family Constellation Therapy helps us understand and work with these hidden dynamics to find deep healing.
Through Family Constellation Therapy, I learned about the “Orders of Love,” a concept by Bert Hellinger. These are basic rules that guide how families work, like who belongs and who has priority. These rules shape our relationships and actions, often without us knowing. I will share more about these rules in the next blog.
As I explored this therapy, I started to see the hidden forces affecting my life and those around me. By recognizing and addressing these forces, I finally found a sense of freedom and healing that I had been missing for years.
