Family Constellation and Trauma Healing

• About the Training

  This advanced training is open for everyone who has completed level 1 and 2 of the Family Constellation Foundation Training. It deals specifically with refining our skills in working with people, and teaches concepts and strategies to help body and mind to heal, and to renegotiate the effects of trauma and states of shock in human life.

  While Family Constellation helps us understand how in the relational field of a family we take over the traumas of others, we add now a complementary somatic approach, mostly stemming from the work of Somatic Experiencing. We learn how our body responds to traumatic stress and what will serve our body to find healing and self-regulation again. In this approach we focus on bodily sensations, to release the powerful survival energy that got frozen in the nervous system. By working on the physiological level, insights from a constellation can be better integrated and re-traumatisation can be avoided. In trauma-work, we support a gradual process of recovering our life energy from a frozen state and learn to integrate it into our body and mind. Unless we fully reach also to the physiological level where the energy is stored, no lasting healing is possible.

  Each day there will be theory, followed by demonstration sessions and supervised practices. By combining Family Constellation with a somatic approach we again broaden our understanding of how to deal with personal and collective trauma and become more sensitive how to prepare a client for a constellation. Personal and collective traumas are often interwoven.

  On a personal level we find a deeper connection to our body and how to overcome post-traumatic stress. This strengthens our ability to stay present to others and to ourselves in all kinds of challenging life situations.
