Join a Family Constellation
Discover the hidden dynamics and emotional connections within your family system through the powerful and transformative practice of family constellations.
A family constellation
What is it?
Family constellations offer a unique way to explore the underlying dynamics in a family or any other system that an individual is a part of. A system can be defined as a group of individuals with connections and patterns between them, and a family constellation is a visual representation of that system.
This process can be incredibly powerful as it reveals hidden relationships and patterns that are not readily apparent, allowing individuals to gain a deeper understanding of their emotions and behaviors. Through this process, individuals can see the bigger picture and discover new possibilities to break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
Family constellations are particularly useful for those who may feel stuck or confused in their personal or professional lives, offering a fresh perspective on issues they may be facing. By delving into the underlying dynamics of a system, individuals can gain valuable insights into their own patterns of behavior and the impact that their actions have on others.
Overall, family constellations are a powerful tool for personal growth and understanding, offering a unique perspective on the complex dynamics of families and other systems.
How does taking part in a family constellation work?
A family constellation session takes place in a group, led by a professional facilitator. As a participant you bring in a question or theme. Setting an intention for what you want to explore is the first step. The facilitator will guide you through the process of creating a visual representation of the system you’re exploring. This could involve placing representatives for yourself, family members, colleagues or things in specific positions in the room. You’ll explore the underlying patterns and dynamics within the system with the facilitator’s guidance. As you do so, you may start to gain new insights into the root causes of your personal or professional challenges. After the session, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your experience and integrate any insights you’ve gained into your daily life.
1. The pre-session conversation
This conversation will take place before the actual family constellation session to discuss the questioner's intentions, expectations, and personal history. As a facilitator I will also ask systemic questions to better understand your situation and determine how best to approach the session.
2. The constellation
During this next step, the questioner will choose people to represent themselves and other members of their family or organization. These people are known as "representatives" and will stand in specific positions to create a visual representation of the system and dynamics being explored. This process can be powerful and illuminating, as it allows the hidden dynamics and interrelationships within the system to become visible.
3. The representatives
Representatives in a family constellation session stand in for someone or something in the family system. Anyone can be a representative, as there are no specific requirements. All that is asked is an open, respectful, and integral attitude. As a representative, you may feel physical or emotional sensations that are not your own, but rather a representation of the person or thing you are standing in for. Communicating these sensations is important for gaining valuable insights into the underlying dynamics of the family system. Being a representative provides a deeper understanding of how family relationships affect you and other people on a subconscious level.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS?
What dynamics and patterns are brought to light?
Family constellations can benefit anyone who is seeking a deeper understanding of their family system and how it impacts their lives. Whether you are experiencing difficulties in your personal relationships, struggling with career choices, or dealing with health issues, family constellations can offer valuable insights into the underlying dynamics at play.
If you feel stuck in patterns that you cannot seem to break, or if you are experiencing repetitive challenges that seem to have no logical explanation, family constellations can help you gain a new perspective. It can offer a profound and healing experience, helping you to release long-held emotions and beliefs that no longer serve you.
In essence, family constellations can be beneficial for anyone who is willing to explore the hidden dynamics of their family system and embrace the potential for transformation and healing. It is a journey of self-discovery that can lead to greater clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection to oneself and others.

Questioner
Are you looking for a way to break free from the repeating patterns and challenges in your life? A family constellation may be just what you need. By bringing your own question to the session, you can gain new insights into your relationships, work, or personal life.
During the constellation, we’ll explore the root causes of your challenges without judgment. By focusing on the four key principles of acknowledgement, belonging, order, and balance, you can start to make progress and find new ways forward.
A family constellation can benefit you if you want to:
- Break free from old patterns that keep repeating.
- Get clarity on a burning question.
- Understand how your family system has shaped your life and work.

Reviews
Dennis is heel professioneel en begeleidt de opstelling met bevlogenheid, stelt de juiste vragen en is zonder oordeel.
Een hele bijzondere ervaring dus waar ik echt mee verder kan. Dank je wel Dennis.
Dennis is een Professionele ervaren begeleider. Geduldig, rustig en opmerkzaam.
Dit was weer een hele bijzondere leerzame dag waarin ik inzichten heb gekregen /voel die ik direct kan gebruiken. Er is weer rust en hoop in mijn hoofd en hart. Tot een volgende keer.
Dennis zoekt op een fijne manier naar patronen en blijft daarbij zonder oordeel.
Magisch om de kracht van mijn eigen familie zo te ervaren.
Ik raad iedereen aan zeker eens een familie opstelling mee te maken. Voor mezelf bracht het heel veel rust en inzicht waarin ik vast liep.
Heel waardevol en dankbaar dat ik dit heb mogen ervaren. Heel helend zo'n dag.
Ook het telefoongesprek vooraf heeft mij erg geholpen, de vragen die je stelt hebben mij ook veel informatie gegeven. Ik heb mijzelf een tijd afgevraagd wat voor vraag ik moest bedenken voor de opstelling en dat zorgde ervoor dat ik het steeds heb uitgesteld, nu heb ik ervaren dat die vraag vooraf nog helemaal niet zo concreet hoeft te zijn. Jouw hulp om de wens te vertalen naar een vraag was erg fijn.
Ik kom graag nog een keer terug.
De begeleiding is top en zeer down to earth. Je voelt je meteen welkom door zijn open houding en alles mag er zijn.
Het heeft me een stap dichter bij mezelf gebracht. Dank je wel Dennis
Dennis is superbenaderbaar en ik merk dat hij niet oordeelt, wat erg prettig is en nodig om je open te kunnen stellen.
Ik vond het heel bijzonder om dingen te ervaren op een bepaalde positie. Zo heb ik emoties van anderen kunnen ervaren op een bepaalde plek.
Ik zelf heb ook een eigen thema ingebracht en ik laat het nu lekker stromen en weet zeker dat het me dingen gaat brengen. Het feit dat ik letterlijk de steun van mijn ouders kon ervaren maakt me al sterker. Net als de visualisatie opdracht, was heel mooi wat dat met me deed.
Bedankt voor de prettige sfeer en mooie inzichten.
Dennis begeleidde op een fijne manier drie opstellingen waarin ik als representant stond.
Voor de vraaginbrengers mooi, ook voor mij veel inzichten.
Heel waardevol!
