What is Relationships Constellations?
Relationships Constellatons have been introduced to family therapy by Virginia Satir (1916 – 1988), and further developed by Bert Helinger using the phenomenological method. This development was based on the philosophy that deviation in families cannot be attributed to a single member only but is always related to the entire system.
This remarkable, powerful process can be used to untangle the many levels of subtle, hidden webs that operate within systems (individuals, families, groups, organisations and communities). It is especially useful in helping to resolve difficult problems not accessible by other means.
Relationships Constellations Work addresses a variety of issues including:
– Unexplained sadness, grief, anger and shame
– Addictions and other destructive behaviors
– Relationship failures and confusion (with parents, siblings, partners or children)
– Depression and unhappiness
– Business failures and financial problems
– Illness and chronic health problems
– Organisational confusion
– Loss of direction and purpose
– How to belong without giving up your creativity
What are the benefits of Relationships Constellations?
1) This process is time efficient; You see the whole system at once and find the hidden problem in one ession.
2) It can create opportunities for new learnings to become aware of new opportunities and to make new choices in the present.
3) It helps one become more whole and to recognize that we have infinite possibilities and resources.
4) It can increase the value of oneself by recognizing and integrating new discoveries and making new decisions. 5) It can lead to acceptance of the personhood of the system members and the learnings of the past leading to an appreciation of the self and other members of the system.
“People connect on the basis of sameness and grow on the basis of being different” ~ Virginia Satir “After attending the workshop, I appreciate my family members more for their caring and love. By being an observer to the culture operated within different families, you could see situation with a different perspective and this in turn will resolve issues within your own family. With Hwee San’s many years of experience in counseling and her compassionate nature, she is able to zoom in the problems that occur in a family. The participants will gain clarity and transform the situation into a positive one.” ~ Linda Khoo
“The Relationships Constellations Workshop is a great workshop of healing. I was able to have an overview of significant events in my life. I had insights into different viewpoints of different members in the family which resulted in misunderstanding and struggles. The insights allow understanding and acceptance. I was able to make peace.” ~ Kevin
“The Relationships Constellations Workshop is a highly intuitive process that really allows us to see our family with new eyes, have a clearer understanding of our family members that goes deeper than what we already know. The insights gained are truly unexpected and will stay with you for a long time. It is amazing how family dynamics can have such a deep impact on us without our realizing. At the same time, it empowers us to make different choices for ourselves, choices that reflect more truly who we are.” ~ Sandi Tan
“Through a series of re/enactments, Hwee San guides a small group of participants into an intimate role-playing journey to one’s self and the relationships that are close to you. Whether you come “face-to-face” with people in your life or see yourself as a third person, this new perspective or distance, compels you to take an honest and impartial look at what life has served you.
