Family Constellations: Facilitate Challenging Conditions

Develop the advanced skills needed to guide and resolve complex systemic dynamics with clarity, compassion, and confidence. This online Family Constellations training is designed for facilitators who want to deepen their understanding of conditions such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Narcissism, Autism, and Sexual Abuse through a systemic, phenomenological lens.

Family Constellations approaches these conditions as expressions of deeper family system dynamics, often rooted in trauma, exclusion, or unresolved history. Rather than viewing symptoms in isolation, this training helps you recognize the underlying entanglements, loyalties, and relational patterns that shape the client's experience.

  • A Family Constellation Facilitator is a trained guide who leads individuals or groups through the therapeutic process of exploring hidden dynamics in their family system. Using representatives or objects, the facilitator helps reveal entanglements, ancestral patterns, and unresolved trauma that may be impacting your current life. At Healing Body Therapeutics in Chicago, Barry Krost brings over 40 years of experience to create a safe and compassionate space for transformation.

  • ​​Family Constellations is based on three core principles:

    • Belonging: Every family member has an equal right to belong.

    • Order: There is a natural hierarchy in family systems based on birth order and time.

    • Balance: Giving and receiving must be in harmony for healthy relationships.

    These principles guide facilitators in identifying where the flow of love and connection may be disrupted.

  • ​Effectiveness depends on the individual and their goals. Family Constellation Therapy is especially effective for addressing deep-rooted issues, generational trauma, and unresolved grief. It offers a systemic perspective that traditional therapy may not reach. For clients seeking insight beyond conscious awareness, this method can be life-changing.

  • “When describing Barry as a masterful and seasoned facilitator, I mean that his offerings are earthy, aromatic, bursting with flavor, and always fresh. The integrity, safety, wisdom and inclusion he brings are tangibly present, no matter what. Barry attends well to the cognitive, the experiential, and the felt sense of knowing, all the while encouraging our questions and comments. Deeply attuned and supported by a strong field of whole, healed ancestors and other resources, he shows us how to find and know them for ourselves. We emerge having found something of ourselves formerly unknown or lost, and from there we can be newly strong."

  • ​“Life as I know it has been shifting in the most peacefully invigorating ways since my first Family Constellation Workshop with Barry Krost. Each time, no matter whether I’m the client, the representative, or the witness, I experience elements of my family and interpersonal relationships, as well as life in general showing up in incrementally improved ways. Barry’s passion and enthusiasm for ancestral healing and personal growth is infectious. While respectfully honoring and communicating Bert Hellinger’s foundational teachings, Barry is a unique and masterful facilitator, teacher, mentor, and healer. He is continually implementing innovative workshops to address current life situations, working with energies in all realms, in addition to addressing foundational issues. Barry often humorously tells us that he doesn’t know what the $#^@&* he’s doing. It is obvious to all of us fortunate to be in a therapeutic session with him, that Barry’s ability to be in the flow of the present moment informs his ability to tune into and execute exactly what is needed in each moment of healing.”
