Systemic Constellations

Being in touch with our deepest self, feeling, being felt, feeling real and alive, and experiencing intimacy in relationships are essential and existential needs of every human being. Often this connection is interrupted, whether by family systemic patterns, fates, traumatic experiences, relationship problems, physical issues or spiritual crises.

Traditional constellations are an effective means to find a new access to oneself and one’s life story, but they have their limits when it comes to traumatic experiences. In my opinion, system builders should be sensitive to body reactions and behaviors from a traumatic background in order to avoid retraumatization or a reinforcement of dissociation.

This requires solid basic knowledge about systemic contexts as well as about trauma and trauma sequelae. The willingness of the facilitators to introspect, i.e. to observe their own psychological and physical processes and to engage in personal development, is an important prerequisite and an essential part of the course.

Systemic constellations and body-based trauma resolution complement each other to form a new type of therapeutic tool that enables sustainable and comprehensive accompaniment of people in crises or phases of change. As facilitators we create a healing space of tenderness, slowness and connection.

Education in Systemic Constellations

EMR/ASCA compliant training series with Barbara Elisa Brantschen
The training structure The training is divided into two parts. Each part contains 5 levels of 3 days each. The units cannot be attended individually.

Part 1: Level 1 – 5

The first 5 levels deal with the acquisition of basic knowledge about systemic connections, constellations, traumata and trauma symptoms. The body perception is sensitized and trained through specific exercises. The reflection of one’s own family system is an essential part here.

Part 2: Level 6 – 10

In the second part, the theoretical basics are deepened and the knowledge is expanded through technical literature. There is a lot of space for practicing your own constellations. Self-perception, self-resourcing and personal experience are also central in this part. The completion of the education includes a written work on a topic to be determined individually, a written and an oral examination unit.
