we use in a Face-to-Face Group Family Constellation
In an in-person group family constellation, we use various techniques to understand and resolve family and personal relationships. These techniques include:
1. Configuration of the Family System
The facilitator invites the client to choose representatives from among the participants to assume the roles of their family members or significant elements in their lives. The representatives are placed in the space according to the client's perception, creating a living 'constellation' of the family system.
2. Representation Dynamics
The representatives begin to express feelings, sensations and behaviors that reflect the position and relationship of the represented members within the family system. This dynamic reveals hidden patterns and tensions in the family structure.
3. Facilitator's Interventions
The facilitator guides the constellation through questions, position changes and specific phrases to promote understanding and conflict resolution. These interventions may include:
Healing Phrases: The facilitator suggests phrases that representatives can say to each other to promote reconciliation and emotional release.
Movements: Representatives may be moved to new positions to reflect changes in family relationships and dynamics.
Symbolic Rituals: Symbolic acts that represent forgiveness, acceptance or the closing of cycles can be performed.
4. Observation and Reflection
The other participants observe the process in silence, offering a field of energy and support. Observation allows participants to reflect on their own lives and family systems, gaining personal insights and resonances.
5. Integration and Closing
At the end of the constellation, the facilitator helps the client and representatives to integrate the lived experiences. Feelings and learnings are discussed, and space is provided for final reflection, ensuring that all participants leave the workshop with a sense of closure and understanding.
These techniques, used together, allow clarifying the hidden stories that affect people's lives, promoting healing, understanding and emotional well-being.
