Family Constellations Individual Sessions - Online
In an individual Family Constellations session, we setup a model of a family system, a constellation, that reveals damage at the systemic level so we can work toward reconciling past conflicts, repairing broken relationships, and restoring order. This process allows us to look at the hidden family dynamics behind many of our challenges. We can see that many of our emotional issues, traumas, illnesses, and problems in relationships, work, and career are the result of unresolved pain and suffering in our family system over many generations.
During a one-on-one session, we try to discover how you are entangled with the painful events and experiences of your parents, grandparents, or ancestors and find a way to resolve them so they no longer affect you in the present. This work is usually done with individuals, but it can also be done with couples.
To help reveal what is hidden, I guide you in using objects to stand in or represent family members, ancestors, events, emotions or even physical or mental conditions. You can use whatever objects are available including chess pieces, seashells, rocks or crystals. The objects can work just as well as if we were using people in a group workshop as representatives.
At the beginning of the session, I gather information about the issue you want to explore, an overview of the family history, possible hidden family dynamics and what the resolution might look like. Then, we begin to explore using the objects as representatives. During the process we are using a special energy called the “knowing field” that helps reveal what occurred in the past and how you are entangled with it. It takes us behind our stories or fills in the facts that we do not know. The knowing field works very well online as it is not limited by time or space.
Throughout the online session I monitor your physical and emotional responses to the constellation as we move toward the truth that wants to emerge. Body sensations become a key indicator of truthfulness, correct movements, or the best resolution. This collaborative process can feel mysterious but somehow familiar in a deep way.
With the help of the knowing field, we can gather information about the past and perhaps clues about what can be released. Your entanglements can dissolve when the essential truth about what happened is finally acknowledged correctly. By the end of your session, you might feel lighter, relaxed, and unburdened, and have a very different image of your family system. Over time and perhaps with additional sessions, you may begin to feel more whole and present in your life, relationships, and career.

Testimonials about Family Constellations Sessions
"For the first time in my life, I don't walk around laden with feelings of guilt for everything I did/do/say/think. For once I can look at myself and consider myself created just as God wanted to create me, not full of flaws that make me faulty, less than a real person, and a disappointment to God and other people.”
-- R. P. Chicago, IL
"What I didn’t realize until I met Barry Krost is that the thing for which I was searching, the reason I was exhausting all available therapies, the piece of my life for which I was longing so terribly was within me. In my first session with Barry, he created a space for me so that I could feel what love is. “Do you feel that expansiveness? Right here,” he asked as he put his hand on my heart. “That is always there. You can have that whenever you want.”
Since then, Barry and I have had breakthroughs in every session. From children to career, to my theatrical life, to education, to cleaning, to math, to test taking, to childhood, to in-laws and grandparents, Barry has shown me through Family Constellations that we can find the root of whatever keeps us from moving forward. Never have I experienced a therapy or therapist so truthful, pure, and effective. I owe him more than I can express."

"I began with a very myopic view of the world around me. Barry taught me about my ancestors, their impact on my life, and how to show gratitude to them. That has carried over into all walks of my life. Thank you Barry, the world is a bigger and brighter place because of your support and strength."
-- Stephen Ferrang
"Barry is the best Systemic Healer and Family Constellations Facilitator/Teacher I have worked with. He sees the deep and ancient underlying historical and transgenerational roots of a problem with precision. His approach is systemic, integral, and pragmatic. His expertise in human anatomy, energy, trauma, family constellations, orders of love, adulting, history, and anthropology makes working with him a profound and safe healing experience. It's these skills that make him an exceptional Family Constellation Teacher as well. He gently guides his students through the rigors of systemic seeing and healing, avoiding magical thinking and bypassing traps of modern-day spirituality. I have discovered and resolved some of the most unthinkable issues of my life with his help. We need more teachers and healers like Barry in the world."
-- Seema Agarwal
"As a teacher and facilitator of Family and Systemic Constellations, Barry Krost is one of those rare gems whose words and practices align and land in a place of heart-centered compassion and authenticity. Throw in some solid humility and a dash of humor, and the outcome results in a lighthearted sense of safety for the client/student on the receiving end to explore their family/systemic dynamics in greater depth. His grasp of the conceptual is masterful, and yet, he is open to being challenged and changed, as he journeys through the work with you as a gentle guide. I’m delighted and relieved to know that Barry’s wisdom is reaching far and wide these days, and am deeply honored to travel in the same sacred healing circles as this gifted soul!"

"Immediately following our Family Constellations session on my back pain and the entanglement behind it, when I stood up, the right hip area felt like it was swollen like the size of a round watermelon – puffed up/bloated. I took it easy laid on couch to rest, bed early & slept easily on left side/back for 10 hours! Wow.
Its amazing how so much improvement in less than 24 hours – better than it’s been in 5 months & I’m not exaggerating, and each day is better than the last. I am able to stand/walk/sit long times without pain. The hip, back and muscles I know need to heal so I’ll continue to support it with supplements/vitamins, rest, gentle stretches, strengthening and let it do what it needs to do in it’s time frame."

"I have been receiving individual Family Constellation sessions from Barry for almost a year. Barry is gifted in accessing and directly attending to deep wounds and facilitating transformation at a soul level. I struggled with multiple layers of trauma for many years before receiving sessions with Barry. Very early on and in every session, I developed clarity and healing around complex traumatic issues that I was previously feeling perplexed by and hopeless about. Family Constellation sessions with Barry have refreshed and illuminated my nervous system, psyche, and soul after years of agony, confusion, and fatigue.
I transitioned to online Family Constellation sessions with Barry in March after the stay-at-home orders in Illinois were implemented. I have experienced the same quality of profound depth, intuition, and healing through Family Constellation online sessions as I did in person. Barry is able to pick up on and address vibrational realities that he addresses in Family Constellation work regardless of physical distance. This further speaks to the healing that takes place on a fine vibrational field beyond physical limitations in Family Constellation sessions.
I am a psychotherapist in training. The clearing of my aura and psyche as a result of Family Constellation work has greatly improved my presence with my clients and significantly expanded on the positive changes I witness in them as a result. I have gained so much greater access to my deeply buried true nature as a result of this priceless work, and I will always be grateful to Barry."
