Restoring the Strength and Protection of Men in Family Systems
Saturday, June 21, 2024 at 10:00am - 1:30pm (CDT)
$50.00 US - Discussion and Experiential
When men stand in their place in the family system, everyone relaxes and feels safe. Men are the natural protectors of family systems and their willingness to defend the family, even with their life, allows everyone to thrive. It also gives men their essential sense of purpose and powers their strength. Men are most whole when they stand as the guardian of the family and can stand in as equal partners and supportive fathers.
Unfortunately, men are often not in their place as protectors, nor do they truly know to do so. They may feel something is wrong and missing but they don’t know where to find it. This may be so painful that men feel powerless, angry, and lost. Their connection to their family and the world may feel disjointed and empty. They may use control, rage, and violence rather their strength and protection in the family system.
Children at a certain age have a natural movement towards their father. Standing with him supports our exploration of the world, relationships, tasks and risk taking. This can be interrupted if he is unavailable, or we are prevented from reaching out to him. Restoring father’s place in the family system or finding alternative sources of strength and protection can be invaluable to our success in life.
The dynamics in couples can be very challenging if men are not able to take their place and provide the value that only they can provide. When they can stand in their place, they may find it much easier to respect and protect the value that can only be provided by women and mother of their children.
In this workshop we will look at how Family Constellations can help restore men to standing in the family system as protectors, fathers and partners where everyone relaxes and feels safe.
No prerequisites.
