Normally, in our childhood and due to the blind love we experience, we tend to adopt reactions and bear loads that will make adult life difficult for us.

In the first sessions, the original root cause of the problem shown by the patient is usually revealed and the psychologist undertakes the path of solutiondeveloping the necessary resources in the patient, so that he is the one who finds the way to his healing.
Therapeutic methodology of Family Constellations
The theory of Family Constellations infers that the components of a family are united by strong ties of loyalty and love. That is why, in order to relax the suffering of another member, an individual can decide with his actions to bring unhappiness to his own life, a consequence of an incorrect conceptualization of love, where he is willing to sacrifice it all for the sake of the happiness of another member, who may have died at a young age, suffered from health problems or was removed from the system.
The person, not being aware of this act, originates what is known in the field of psychology as Systemic Implications. The results of the implications lead to a component of the system being able to adjudicate the feelings, attitudes and/or life patterns of an ancestor.
In this methodology, each individual, with the help of representatives, configures their family constellation, drawing from here conclusions regarding the system and its current state, allowing to search solutions to the problems that arise. The structuring of psychotherapeutic work implies that they exist and have to work with the patient, representatives and observers; the patient participating first as an observer and then as a direct participant, occupying his place in the representation of the solution.
When can Family Constellations be used?
From the perspective of Family Constellations, it is determined that there is a transmission of conflicts, behaviors and family concerns throughout the different generations, which end up triggering the psychological problems that the individual currently suffers. This transmission is independent of genetics, sticking to the cultural sphere, because the current problems of the person cannot be reasoned exclusively by the history and learning process, but originate from their parental family (parents, grandparents, etc. ).
most common applications
This type of therapy can be applied both to the resolution of non-specific emotional problems, and to the resolution of relationship problems, social or work relationships. It is usually indicated to treat and solve all those problems that systematically, throughout the life of the individual and in a repetitive way, have been causing him suffering, whether these are aggressive, health or affective; in their family relationships or with the opposite sex; or in the relationship with the rest of the components of their social or work group.
This therapeutic methodology seeks fundamentally to recover the inner balance and achieve the peace and happiness that the patient desires, allowing him to be able to live his own life freely, while releasing personal and family energy. With the feeling of this transformation process, and internalizing the new imagethe patient finds the path towards reconciliation with his own destiny, the acceptance of his place within the system and the manifestation of an authentic and conscious love towards others.

Therapy goals
Essentially, the psychotherapy of Family Constellations seeks to find a solution to the patient’s traumas and conflicts, through reconciliation and the reunion of love. In this way, it opens the way to understand and heal the wounds dragged from the past, which are causing pain and discomfort in the present and which, with a high probability, can be perpetuated in the following generations in a nested way.
The essential objective sought by this type of psychotherapy is to identify the conflicts of family, work and social origin that are causing discomfort in the daily life of the patient and his family or close social circle, to the extent that this, in order to restore the original order allows the normal circulation of your life.
Likewise, one of the most relevant side effects of this type of psychotherapy is that it not only heals the person, but also gets better the relationship and behavior within the social group or family to which the patient belongs, as the interaction patterns of the members are reorganized and restructured.
In the same way, through intervention work with the patient and their environment, future generations can also benefit, through a preventive effect, avoiding making the same mistakes as their ancestors.
The final objectives sought are:
- Resolve conflicts as a couple, with parents, children, siblings or other members of the family or work system
- Release personal, work and family energy
- Coping with the fear of death and separations in general
- Balancing family, social or organizational systems
- Clarify and differentiate feelings towards other people
- Understand that an action always brings with it consequences
- Allow the individual to live their own life
- Recover the inner balance of the individual
- Achieve the peace and happiness that the patient needs
