Inspired by Bert Hellinger's
family constellations, and Mark Wolynn's Behavioral Genetics.
Behavioral Genetics is work which is derived from Bert Hellinger’s
revolutionary work with systemic healing in which, through a group process,
in one instant of recognition, a new intrinsic image of ones family members
can replace an old one, allowing healing changes to occur at the cellular
level. This work has the ability to go to the deepest places of wounding,
and to allow the necessary changes for deep healing.
This is a group process in which participants step in for the family
members involved, and it involves a phenomenological experience in which
the representatives begin to feel feelings and movements which depict
often hidden dynamics between family members, alive as well as those that
have passed on.
To learn more about this
phenomenon, please check out these links:
Our family members include parents and
siblings, aunts and uncles, grandparents and their children, great grandparents,
significant other relationships for our family members before as well
as during marriage, if appropriate, any family members who left the family,
who died young, including any miscarriages, abortions and stillbirths,
as well as those adopted and their families.
We sometimes carry the burden of our ancestors as though
it were ours; unknowingly, as a way of showing deep love for our family.
For example, we may reject our mother because she is perceived as distant
and hurtful. Through the constellation process, it is revealed that our
mother lost her first child at birth and was distant to protect herself
from further pain and because she thought she might hurt her next child,
as well. Suddenly, with a new image and perspective, compassion can enter
our hearts, and healing is possible between ourselves and our mother. An
old hurt is then resolved, and often health is restored.Through this work
we can free ourselves from old patterns and destructive behaviors.
We can discover our unconscious loyalties
and restore the flow of love throughout our family system. Constellations
are an exploratory process. Sometimes it brings a good resolution picture,
and other times it brings up painful and difficult aspects of our families
and forces that are affecting us. They are not representations of literal
truths, necessarily, but they may point to previously hidden information
which has a basis in our experience of the world. They help us to change
our limiting beliefs with a new image and a greater perspective to create
new possibilities for a greater future. This can take time and may be
disorienting; but is also productive. This work is adjunctive to therapy
and other healing approaches, and so is not exclusive of other help.
Usually this work is a group process, but it can also be done one on
one.
Testimonial
Would you agree human beings are creatures
of habit and routine? Would you agree many have a fear of the unknown? Would
you agree humans seek to maintain the status quo, because it will be to
risky (painful) to examine within? Would you agree that a hidden truth (hurt,
abuse, miss judgement) dictate the patterns of behavior; causing emotional
and physical pain, as well?
Do believe me when I say this,
I am no different from you. When Dr. Gail introduced Constellation Therapy,
I was skeptical. However, I am now respectful of it’s healing power.
Constellation Therapy reveals what was there within you all along. Within
the energy field of a family constellation I have witnessed truths (secrets
and longings) unfold like a lotus flower. It is similar to opening the
shades and pulling back the curtains to reveal the light in a very dark
room. Anger, hurt, guilt, shame and blame are revealed for what they are,
making way for a spirit of love and forgiveness.
Dr.Gail’s gift a a facilitator is a phenomena. She is a intuitive
healer and facilitator. One does not need hours and hours of intensive
group or individual therapy. If you are ready to take the necessary steps
to heal your pain, Constellation Therapy is a tangible and visual modality.
Constellation therapy enables you to shed light on the emotions that are
contributing to the stress upon your body today. I hightly recommend Dr.
