FAMILY CONSTELLATION WORK
A Family Constellation is a 60-minute group process that has the power to affect generations of suffering and unhappiness. Inspired by the work of Bert Hellinger, Family Constellations expose the invisible bonds in family systems and unravel their effects on the current generation. Destructive patterns are brought to light and replaced with clear and visceral insights. The results are often immediate and life-altering.
Many of us unconsciously take on destructive familial patterns of anxiety, depression, fear, failure, obesity, loneliness, addiction and even illness as a way of belonging in our families. Bonded by a deep love, a child will often sacrifice his own best interests in a vain attempt to ease the suffering of a parent or another family member. Family Constellation Work allows us to break these patterns and stand in greater strength, peace, and dignity.

THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY OF BERT HELLINGER
Considered one of the most innovative psychotherapists in the world today, Bert Hellinger has revolutionized the heart and soul of family systems group therapy. His phenomenological approach to healing uses "family constellations" to expose the hidden, and often destructive, dynamics in family systems. With deep respect for what he terms, "the Orders of Love," possible solutions and healing resources can be implemented. Hellinger's approach to family therapy is practiced in more than 25 countries around the world. For further information about Hellinger and his publications, visit his Web site: www.hellinger.com/international/english/index.shtml.
Family constellation is a 60-minute group process that has the power to heal generations of suffering and unhappiness. This process allows people to untangle themselves from unconscious loyalties and offers a profound, concrete, and lasting solution. Through this significantly experiential workshop, you will be:
- introduced to Hellinger's phenomenological approach to family systems group therapy, its principles, and theoretical understandings;
- able to identify the theoretical differences between Hellinger's work and other models of group and family systems therapy;
- able to personally experience family constellation work, either as clients, participants, or observers; and
- able to identify ways that Hellinger's family systems therapy can be implemented in clinical practices with groups, couples, or individuals.

Trauma and the Family System
|
|
Contact (412) 422-1955 for more information
Family traumas live in our bodies, in our anxieties, in our fears— even in the words we speak. The idea of an inherited “family” nervous system appears to be an observable phenomenon. A woman may, for example, carry a trauma of sexual abuse— but it may not be her trauma. A man may live his entire life depressed, estranged from those around him, and never understand why. As therapists, we often encounter clients who carry symptoms of a particular trauma, yet know of no such information in their lives or in their family systems. In this training, therapists will learn how to uncover trauma in the system by exploring their client’s words, fears, symptoms and body language. Therapists will also learn how to extract a Core Sentence from their client’s “list of complaints,” and develop it into a core image. In this way, the trauma in the system can surface within minutes and be transformed into a healing resource.

Having the Relationship I Want
|
|
Contact (412) 422-1955 for more information
Whether working with singles or couples, this training is designed to get to the heart of what prevents us from having the closeness we all desire. We'll explore the forces and dynamics that influence relationship choices on a subconscious level -- silent sabotage, hidden family loyalties, invisible identifications, as well as the habitual behaviors that erode our intimate relationships. Once we're free of entanglements from the past, new ways of giving and receiving love can begin to take root.

Self-Injury and the Family System

They cut themselves, pull out their hair, pick at their skin, etc. They’re caught between an unacknowledged victim and perpetrator. They enact both fates in one body, harming themselves and then suffering from self-inflicted distress. In this training, therapists will learn to recognize the dynamics behind self-injury, as well as learn to perceive the self-injurer’s words, symptoms and physical actions as signs leading to traumatic events in the family system. Methods for integration will be demonstrated. Whether working one-on-one or in a Family Constellation, therapists will learn the importance of using body-centered awareness techniques and ritual to support healing and resolution. |

The issue, and often the solution, is revealed within the first moments of interaction. By exploring our client’s verbal and somatic language, the core essence of the family trauma, whether known or unknown, is brought to light. Using this approach, loyalties and identifications are quickly exposed. What emerges is a rich, multilayered way of coming to clarity within the first few moments of chairwork, often obviating the necessity for further intervention.

The Trauma of War
Bellingham, WA
TBA
|
|
We belong to a nation, like a big protective family, that exists to protect its people who cannot do it on their own. This bond must be acknowledged. Failure to do so can invite suffering in the succeeding generations. For example, a man who leaves his country to avoid fighting in war often cannot take his being saved when others in his community perished or paid a difficult price. Later on, someone in his family may be drawn to war, or suffer like those left behind who suffered. In this training, we will learn how to identify and work with war trauma in the family system. We’ll explore the dynamics affecting subsequent generations, and demonstrate ways to bring healing to all sides involved.

"Having the Relationship I Want"
- Twelve People
- Six Thursday Evenings
- Profound Transformation
A good way to assess what's going on internally is to see what you're attracting externally.
Who are the people in your life? Do you have many friends but no partner? Do you have a partner but many complaints? Whether you're in a relationship or you're single, this program is designed to get at the heart of what may be preventing you from having the relationship you want.
This is a workshop. Come prepared to work! We'll explore the dynamics of self sabotage, uncover root causes to failed relationships, look at unconscious family loyalties, and clean up past relationships that may be blocking your path to new ones. We'll examine stuck patterns, old angers and resentments, and attempt to find concrete solutions. Our goal is simple
— to create deep, meaningful relationships that last.

SOMATIC INTEGRATION FIVE-DAY
WORKSHOP
La Casa de Maria Retreat and Conference Center
Santa Barbara, CA
TBA
The purpose of this body-oriented workshop, led by Eve Greenberg and Mark Wolynn, is to offer tools to the therapist for
keeping the client fully embodied, present and mindful of his
inner experiences during release work. Often, if the experience
includes a high degree of affect and body sensation, a client may
actually leave his body during the session, thus limiting the
effectiveness of the gross motor process to release stuck feelings
and body sensation.
In this workshop, a method of working with trauma will be
offered that slows down the process so that the client fully
participates, not only in the release of the trauma in the body,
but also in expanding and savoring the positive sensations of the
release.
This trauma process incorporates the principles of Peter
Levine's Somatic Experiencing and Pat Ogden's Hakomi Integrative
Somatics. It follows the trauma model proposed by Bessel van der
Kolk, MD, author of Traumatic Stress, and Joseph LeDoux in his
book, The Emotional Brain.
Working primarily with the primitive impulses of the reptilian
brain and the client's somatic experiences, the therapist can make
contact directly with the client in his physical process to
facilitate a deep release of stuck trauma. Other therapies that
focus on the neo-cortex, or on the more sophisticated brain
processes, can enable clients to dissociate during the release
work and not attain a full body release. In this trauma process,
body sensation is tracked, sequenced and released through the body.
Feelings and thought patterns that arise from the deepest part of
our being during the sequencing are also encouraged.
The workshop will include topics such as:
- Sensorimotor Sequencing Techniques
- Making contact
- Tracking trauma through the body
- Sensation and Mindfulness
- Accessing Questions and Directives
- Orienting Response
- Defensive Response
- Voluntary and Involuntary Movement
- Developing and Embodying Resources
- Modulation
- Hyperarousal, Freezing, Hypoarousal, Numbing
- Framing the Moment
- Boundaries
- Reframing
- Dissociation
- Touch in the Therapy Session
