Does Your Family Make You Sick?

Our deepest relationships — with parents, husbands and wives, children and others — can provide profound support in our lives. However, hidden dynamics within these relationships often produce obstacles that keep us from being able to feel the positive effects of that support. Systemic Constellation Work (SCW) is a powerful tool for bringing these hidden dynamics to light and removing the obstacles, leading to a greater flow of love, strength and support through all our relations.

SCW is an experiential process, working at a deeper level than conventional psychotherapy. Bert Hellinger, the founder of SCW, often describes working at the level of the soul. This means that the impact of this work can be both more immediate and more lasting than techniques which address the mind alone.

Just as all of us have parents, all of us are prone to having our relations with our ancestors clouded by hidden dynamics within our families. Similar patterns can appear in anywhere in our everyday relationships, even the workplace, and can distort our perceptions of the world around us. These systemic issues can even be seen at work in our own bodies, causing pain and illness that have no clear cause. To put it simply, SCW deals with issues of being human — thus there is no one who cannot benefit in some way from this work.

Systemic Constellation Work Responds to a Variety of Issues

SCW has been known to be of benefit to clients who suffer from the following maladies:

• Patterns of repeated relationship failure
• Compulsive use of substances, and unhealthy behavior inconsistent with intentions
• Consistent money problems or business failures
• Chronic depression 
• Unexplained feelings of guilt, sadness or anger

Kenn Day and his wife, Patricia Sheerin, were introduced to Systemic Family Constellation Work in Cornwall in 2001. They pursued training in Germany and the United States, successfully completing a two year certification course with Heinz Stark, Bert Hellinger's protégé, in 2005. Both Kenn and Patricia share a deep enthusiasm for Systemic Constellation Work, fueled by their own experiences with the healing effects of this powerful tool. Their work as a couple, with complementary communication styles, is rare among Constellation facilitators and allows for a greater dynamic clarity in the field.

Because the nature of SCW requires a group of 15-25 participants, Kenn & Patricia occasionally schedule SCW workshops.   Please check the Calendar menu choice above for information about upcoming workshops.  Or, to schedule a SCW workshop in your area, please feel free to contact Kenn via the Contact menu.
