What are Family Constellations?
Family Constellations are a therapeutic tool aimed at identifying the type of relationships established between the different members of the family system.
Each member of the family is conceived as the archetype it representsthat is, not as the person he is, but as what he represents for the person who is constellated.
Objectives of the Family Constellations
The main objective is that the person can identify harmful unconscious dynamics that have set in in your family and the attitudes and behaviors that have been generated among its members.
This information, on the one hand, allows the person reinterpret dysfunctional family patterns that reproduces unconsciously, to find solutions to entrenched conflicts.
And, on the other hand, the constellation pretends awaken the feelings and emotions that are latent in the unconscious of the person, so that he can manage them and reconcile with certain people and events of the past.
Bert Hellinger and the fundamentals of Family Constellations
Is family insight therapy, or psychotherapeutic technique, was founded in the 1990s by the German psychotherapist, educator and former Catholic priest Bert Hellinger. The theoretical framework is based on psychoanalytic theory, family systemic therapy and Gestalt therapy.
Family Constellationsso, They focus on the individual in relation to their network of family ties, offering an experiential experience that promotes understanding and acceptance that favors .
“The family has a memory.
What comes to light from her is a gift to us.”
–Bert Hellinger
How is a Family Constellation made?
Although it is not considered a group therapy, this therapeutic dynamic usually done in small groups, from 5 to 12 people, including the constellator or therapist who leads the session. However, sometimes there have been Family Constellations with hundreds of people or individually.
It consists of a single meeting that usually lasts several hours where the participants who wish can “constellar” a situation or conflict, which they briefly present to the group. In this session, other participants are chosen by the client (in some cases by the therapist) to “represent” the people who make up the client’s family and for himself/herself.
These reproduce unconscious attitudes and emotions that would be related to the family experiences of the person performing the therapy, shedding light on the problem raised. In this representation the person can see and make conscious the kind of relationships that have been established between the different members of your family in a symbolic way.
The result of the constellation is an image-solution from which no definitive conclusion can be drawnsimply look, feel and let it do its job.
Scope of Family Constellations
Practical solutions and tools
The work that is done in the Family Constellations can bring understanding and inner peace. The practical solutions and tools that they propose are aimed, above all, at resolving family conflicts rather than encourage the development of personal resources.
In many cases, it can be comfortingfor example, for people who have suffered the loss of a loved one suddenly or early and, also, it turns out to be reconciler for women who lost a child during pregnancy, either induced or natural.
However, considering that the result of a family constellation is an image-solution, only and be helpful, when the customer shows enough towards his own life.
Take the focus of attention away from yourself
Therefore, if the initial conflict has to do with a lack of development of an own resourcesuch as self-confidence, or dysfunctional behavior characterized by a lack of responsibility, then a Family Constellation may not be the most suitable tool for the person
It could even confuse her, because emphasizes the conflicts in your family network instead of putting it on itself.
In this case it could be more useful to learn to develop your personal resources to increase your ability to “digest” personal work, training his presence, his responsibility and the resources that allow you to reinterpret each difficult situation, lived and to live, from a more functional perspective for your life.
step into action
One of the limitations that the method of the Family Constellations It is that people believe that by doing a session their problems will disappear or that they stay in the phase of making constellations, processing duels, writing letters, etc., without taking conscious action.
Those who without making significant changes in their own life they expect something around them to changethey remain anchored in a victimizing position that generates frustration and suffering.
“Things don’t change; we change”
Henry David Thoreau
In short, the Family Constellations They are an accompaniment that guides people to know the impact on themselves of the conflicts in their family network, but their inquiry tools may not make it easy to reach the deepest and most individual root of them. In this sense, they are not always addressed to develop client’s own resources.

This methodology includes Strategies that allow you to get to the root of conflicts accurately and quickly, such as: the study of discourse, non-verbal language, micro-expressions and the study of symbols and archetypes. These and other disciplines make it possible to recognize and use all the unconscious information that the person manifests.
Therefore, the client or consultant does not need to look for any type of information, because in Bioneuroemoción we consider that he carries all of it. It is not necessary to look for dates or anything similar and in a single session, it is possible…
