RE: Family problems? A constellation could help. How to get a playful perspective with dolls and a wooden board.
first time to read about family board. i know about family constellations, it is on my to do list for some years, but things never connected for me to experience it.
as i saw the board, there were a group of nice figures somewhere far away and in front there were lots of figures, some more close to the others or not. i saw them far away from each other, but somehow still connected, no matter in which corner they were hiding.
very interesting method! is it part of the family constellations? is it 1 on 1 therapy or a group kind of?
thanks for commenting!
Just try it out & write a post about it:) - I found it interesting to do that with real people and it may give you some insights.
Smile. The figures in the back of the picture actually do not belong to the making off the constellation. They were just placed there because not all of them got used in that session:)
The figures placed in the corner and standing far away from each other told of a connection, that's right.
Yes, it is part of family constellation, only constructed with symbolic figures. It is one on one, not with a group. When I would ask you to choose figures and to place yourself and the members of your family on the board the result is going to show - among other things - how you feel connected or disconnected to them.
You could also use a paper sheet and draw it but then it is only 2dimensional.
Compare it to describe your family situation in words. Feel the difference.
