Central to family constellation work is the concept of ‘entanglement’. There may be a powerful im

impact in a constellation when we become aware that some of the pain we are suffering actually belongs to someone else in the past, but has not yet been laid to rest. We are not responding to actual experiences in our own lives; we seem to be trying to be of service to those in the past, attempting to bring peace to their souls.

Conflicts arise in the soul when opposing forces divide us internally or in our relationships to others. We are forced to either repress one side or engage in battle. We experience ourselves as divided and torn, indecisive and dissatisfied, under a strain that may even feel like insanity. Counselling or psychotherapy is the work of reconciling these warring factions. One of the primary attraction of constellation work is its power to reunite and reconcile such divisions.
