Did your mother lose a child or pregnancy before you were born?

Hellinger teaches that a later child in the system (even one from the next generation) can express what a family has suppressed. That means that the living child could find himself feeling depressed or lifeless, split off from his essence as if he doesn’t exist, similar to how the family perceives the dead brother.

The feelings we hold about our parents are a doorway into ourselves.
