‘Everything We Struggle with in Ourselves Has Roots in our Family History’ 

Group Constellation Day Workshops Saturday 11 June
Regent’s University London

ForgetMeNot

“We Are All in This Together”

 Healing the Intergenerational Effects of Collective War Trauma

CONSTELLATION WORKSHOPs 11 June and 9 July 2022

As we are currently going through a Collective War Trauma it is important to raise our awareness of the intergenerational effects of collective war traumas in our family history and how to set ourselves free of these patterns of learned survival strategies.  Every family carries the injustices of what previous family members experienced.

Collective Trauma refers to the psychological reactions to a traumatic event or events that affect an entire society.  Collective memory of trauma is different from individual memory because collective memory persists beyond the lives of the direct survivors through the learned lessons or scripts derived from the event.  It is an intergenerational phenomenon.  Collective trauma undermines a fundamental sense of security with long standing effects on 2nd, 3rd, 4th generations and promotes heightened vigilance to new threats.

What is important to name at the beginning is that in collective traumas such as war, enforced emigration, famines etc. there are no divisions between victims and perpetrators.  There is always a collective sense of unresolved grief and a shared inability to speak of the unspeakable as it is too terrible to utter aloud.

So when we recognise that the collective past our history, is alive in the present, we also recognise the need to remember our past.  As George Santanya writes “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”  Whether individual or collective trauma, it fragments and fractures our ability to narrate it.  It silences us and creates denial and forgetting and unintegrated experience.

Remembering the collective traumas that have shaped our Family History, such as War, Immigration, Famine means we can begin to transcend and heal them by speaking and verbalising them.  In turn it make us more aware and develop more self-compassion towards our own psychological responses and brings healing to the whole family system.

 GROUP CONSTELLATION WORKSHOP (6 people) Price: £165      

  • Saturday 11 June 2022 (3 spaces available) 
  • Saturday 9 July 2022 (5 spaces available) 

Venue: Regent’s University, London.
Time: 9.30-6pm

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS ON ZOOM (£75 per hour) 

We use the methodology of Genosociograms, which enables to make a visual representation of our family tree going back at least 3 generations.  It also maps both personal and collective traumas to reveal and heal repeating patterns of both physical and psychological symptoms.  Important to recognise the world didn’t start with our parents, that they too are inextricably linked to the generations before them and their life experiences. Free 15 minute Introductory Sessions available on request.

Group Constellation Workshop Testimonials – April 30 2022
 
Janet is a skilled and compassionate facilitator. Her workshops get to the heart of the matter and it was lovely to learn and experience as part of a group which had secure boundaries and the interests of every member held in equal regard. A transformative experience.  Thank you.
 
I feel very light since Sunday morning – like a weight I didn’t know I was carrying has lifted. I’ll definitely be back in 2022.
 
The day’s workshop with Janet and participants was mind-blowing, exhilarating, thought-provoking and life changing, as always.
 
My constellation was so positive and uplifting. As ever the energy and support of the group was magical as was your guidance. Thank you!
 
I’ve tried various forms of therapy over the years but Janet’s constellation sessions have been instrumental and the most profound to me. I’ve found a more compassionate view on Others and the world. It feels like it’s made my heart bigger and with it the world a nicer place to be. 
 

I found the constellation workshop to be totally transformational, it really helped me understand my family dynamic in a way that I hadn’t explored before. I would highly recommend the workshop for anyone with an open mind and an open heart.

I have had 10+ years of therapy, including Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and none of that prepared me for the powerful and moving experience of this constellation workshop. It is right up there with one of life’s best experiences to date. I understand my family set-up and dynamics in a way that I could not possibly have done without constellation work. I believe everyone should explore their family constellation, preferably with Janet, at least once.  Amazing.  I cannot wait to continue my own journey towards freedom.

Individual Zoom Session Testimonials 2021 

It was a real eye opener as it helped me understand why the lack of connection with my grandparents had impacted my own family trauma. This insight really helped me to have more compassion for myself, my family and the other workshop attendees. 

It has shown me many behavioural patterns that I have brought forward from my family and continue to repeat that I haven’t been aware of. It has allowed me to look at what I’m doing with more self compassion and ease, making everyday life happier. By looking past my parents and to those before them has allowed me to become more compassionate to my immediate relatives. Thank you.

October 2019 Workshop Testimonies
“Thank you so much for the workshop. I really enjoyed it.  It helped me to gain some acceptance and understanding around my current situation”.
“It is a beautiful work, well conducted. Janet guided me on the best approach to take; which helped me better understand the cause so I could move closer to the healing path. Powerful.”
September 2019 Workshop Testimonials
“A really great and important aspect of the constellation experience is being part of a loving and supportive group, and feeling equally part of that group. I always gain new insights during the workshop of what it feels like to belong and relate in a loving way to others.”
 “The words can’t express my gratitude to your insightfulness into processing the given situations that have taken place at the workshop. Your skills are a light in the dark and your knowledge has no limit into making us all feel enlightened and empowered by leaving the heavy weight behind us.” Eve (volunteer at Care UK).
“Thank you for a very beneficial workshop.  I feel a weight lifted from me and I feel lighter. The workshop helped me reach into my inner core – the part I fear – and as a result  I feel calmer, more open and more integrated.” Michele – London.

Healing the Unhealed Stories of Our Ancestral Past

Healing means to make ‘whole.’  To make us whole we have to have healthy relationships not just with our current family but with previous generations including both the living and the dead.  It is not just about remembering the autobiographical details of those who went before us but what life events shaped their lives.  Personal traumas like premature deaths and collective traumas such as war or enforced migration leave energetic imprints on the family soul.  These legacies of unresolved grief and injustices are passed on through inherited belief systems.  These can then manifest as unconscious repetition of both physical and psychological problems until transformed into conscious awareness.
 
Just as traditional societies have always recognised, connecting to our ancestors stories and  their life experiences holds the key to our present day healing for both the past and future generations.
 
“The less we understand of what our ancestors experienced the less we understand ourselves.” 
Carl Jung, Memories Dreams & Reflections
