Core Principles in Family Constellations Training
Belonging
Everyone in a family system has a place. When someone is excluded, forgotten, or rejected, later generations may unconsciously carry aspects of their experience.
Order
Family systems function more harmoniously when natural order is respected:
parents give, children receive
earlier generations precede later generations
each person carries their own responsibility
Giving and Receiving
Healthy relationships depend on balance. When giving and receiving become disrupted, tension and emotional burdens may develop.
Acknowledgment
Healing often begins when hidden truths, losses, trauma, or excluded individuals are acknowledged within the system.
