Constellations with clients in a psychosomatic hospital

It is a big challenge to work with trauma constellations in a clinic for psychomatic illnesses with a holistic approach. The participants of the constellation groups vary a lot in their specific psychological diagnoses, their age and their prior experience with psychotherapy. Finding an intention for their constellation and using another person as a representative for it helps the clients to have their inner processes before their eyes. They can immediately see what is true, and what can show up in that moment. The members in the group are involved in what is going on in the constellation, and they are very often touched and enriched by the work of their fellow members.

In this conference workshop I will share my experiences with this type of constellations, what Franz Ruppert calls the "constellation of the intention" in our clinical setting. I will reflect on how constellations work and other types of therapy fit together in the Clinic Lahnstein, my workplace as a psychologist, and were I am working with other facilitators.

Trauma and sexual abuse

People suffering from sexual abuse very often can't remember what has happened. They only have vague feelings that something could have happened. Normally children are threatened by the perpetrators so that they do not talk about the abuse, and they carry feelings of guilt and shame within them. Before the sexual abuse most of them will already have suffered from a symbiotic trauma, so they were already split when the abuse happened.

Talking therapies do not really help. Constellations can support such people to realize the truth of the sexual abuse and to reconnect step by step with reality.

Clients then feel understood and seen, they can gain confidence towards themselves and integrate the split parts of their psyche.
Constellation groups are very helpfull in finding support not only from the therapist but also from the representatives and other group members.
