What is Emotional Genetics?
We all know that we inherit our physical characteristics, but what is less known is that we also inherit our emotional patterns. Few of us understand that our limitations, or places where we are in pain, or our businesses are stuck, may be linked to hidden patterns in the system.
Traumatic events like suicide, early death of a parent or sibling, financial ruin, abortions or miscarriages can create an imprint on the family system that becomes the blueprint for generations of unconscious suffering. What is not addressed may surface in the lives of those who come later.
In business, traumatic events like unfair dismissal, disrespect, workplace killings, inadequate compensation etc may have similar impacts on that system.
While the original trauma becomes more obscure over time, the symptoms become increasingly pronounced.
Many of us are aware that not all psychological problems can be resolved with talk therapy. Sometimes we're entangled in the 'family system' and when we inherit what's in this nervous system we may repeat the family fate. Self-sabotage, self-injury, chronic illness, depression, fear, anger, obesity, addictions & failure in relationships can all be forms of unconscious loyalties.
Using a systemic lens we can expose hidden patterns that keep us stuck and explore the origins and effects of these unconscious loyalties on family or business systems. Once we understand these bonds, we have an opportunity to free current & successive generations from their influences, creating stronger, happier pathways for ourselves and our successors.
Based on the work of Bert Hellinger the systemic approach bypasses judgments and opinions. 'Dimensional Mapping' and 'Interactive Family Trees’ offer an unclouded view of the situation in both our private and business lives. With an unbiased and uncluttered view of ‘what is’, we then have an opportunity to move towards ‘what’s possible’.
- Businesses gain a quick overview of dynamics in play within the company as well as insights into solutions that might allow them to expand in a healthy manner.
- Individuals can see the hidden and deeply unconscious loyalties they carry,as well as for whom they carry them. They can also examine the current and potential effects these patterns have on their lives and their children's lives.
By using the systemic approach to determine where success, life, abundance or love stopped flowing, we have an opportunity to see what might have a good effect on the system. Then we have a chance to re-establish order, balance, and flow in a life-sustaining manner.
What is a Constellation?
In systemic and scientific language, a constellation is an arrangement of parts or elements within its common system eg family members within a family system. We ask clients to set up a constellation the way that they see their system, using representatives. What they can’t always picture is the interaction between, or the effects on, each member. Nor can they imagine the patterns that influence behaviors. These forces are invisible yet powerful. An informational field not unlike the Internet which when accessed yields a wealth of information.
A constellation provides an objective yet profound way to visibly access insights into what is happening right now and what might occur in the future. Using Dimensional Mapping and Interactive Family Trees, hidden patterns are quickly able to surface. Obstacles or limitations become observable and can therefore be addressed by finding what is needed to move from 'stuck' to flourishing.
