Training Programs

In-services for Mental Health Professionals

Healing Heart and Soul partners are available to arrange an in-service on Constellation Work at your regular staff meeting. Constellations provide an overview of a situation and give direction to changes that improve the functioning of the whole system (the person, family, business, or organization). Buried resources are freed up and new solutions emerge that restore integrity and establish balance. Below are a few ideas of workshops. Contact us to organize an in-service workshop that meets your specific needs. 

New experiential ideas in working with couples

Couples are complex as each brings a family history and familiar patterns of behavior in attempting to meet their needs for love. Life’s struggles may get in the way of the deeper bond. Assist couples to:

• Move from blind love to seeing one another with love

• Renew the love and compassion that brought them together

• Grieve tragedies together (death of a child, miscarriages, hardships)

• Enjoy present relationships by honoring past relationships

• When necessary, separate with dignity

Missing Fathers

Research consistently indicates the importance of father involvement in children’s lives. Experience what happens when children (even as adults) are yearning for their father’s love and attention. Assist clients to be safely in their father’s love, strength, and support.

Fundamentals of Systemic Constellation Work

“Families have to be taken as they are, with all their imperfections, and it is precisely the imperfections in each family that provide strength and motivation.” Bert Hellinger

Systemic Family Constellation work is a brief systemic approach to helping families address life challenges. It builds on the strength inherent in families and honors the lasting bonds of relationships. A German psychoanalyst, Bert Hellinger, developed the work through his lifelong integration of therapeutic experiences and witnessing the intergenerational effects of (Holocaust) trauma and systemic entanglements.

More About Constellation Work

Bert Hellinger developed the use of Constellation Work in which clients reproduce their inner image of their own family to find resolutions to current struggles. Using a phenomenological approach, a Constellation allows us to see the links between one’s own life experiences and the unresolved events and traumas that occurred in one’s family history. Constellation Work is an effective brief intervention for individuals, couples, families, and organizations.

The method is based on the work of many others such as Family Reconstruction, developed by Virginia Satir; Psychodrama, developed by Jakob Moreno; and the importance of the transgenerational order, identified by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy and & Martin Buber, and creating narratives from Gestalt and Carl Jung.

Systemic Constellation training is suitable for all individuals regardless of degree or profession. CEU’s are available for Social Workers, Professional Counselors, and Marriage and Family Therapists. The training has been especially valuable for business consultants, body workers, school administrators and others working with complex systems, healing and achieving goals.

Healing Heart and Soul periodically host some of the finest facilitators in the United States and Germany. Let us know if you want to be included on our mailing list.
