Family Constellation PT 2
Tuesday, 6 January, 2026
Send us a textWhat if the fastest way to change a family pattern is to move your feet and say fewer words? We open the door to family constellation therapy with a practical walkthrough of the exact techniques we use to reveal hidden loyalties, restore order, and free up energy for the present. Instead of rehashing history, we map it in space, listen to the body, and let truth do the heavy lifting.We start with the representative technique, arranging people or markers to stand in for family members so entanglements become visible. As we shift positions—closer, further, turned toward or away—you’ll hear how clients feel distinct sensations and emotions based on where they stand. That felt sense is our compass. From there, we dive into embodied perspective-taking and show why stepping into another’s place can surface loyalty conflicts, hierarchy issues, and exclusions that talking rarely touches.Then we explore sculpting: using posture, angle, and distance to make closeness and power dynamics unmistakable. A single turn of the shoulders can reveal an old hurt; three steps can signal a cut-off bond. We demonstrate how small edits to the sculpt can bring relief without forcing reconciliation. Finally, we lean into ritual sentences—simple phrases like “I honor your fate” and “I leave what belongs to you with you”—that acknowledge systemic truths. These are not affirmations; they are precise acknowledgments that complete interrupted movements and return burdens to their rightful place.By the end, you’ll understand how to track micro-shifts in breath, gaze, and posture to know when a change is real, and how to integrate the work with small, respectful actions at home. If you’re curious about evidence-informed, embodied ways to untangle family dynamics and create more space for love, work, and creativity, this conversation offers clear steps you can try.
