About this title

Synopsis

The first-ever user-friendly guide to Bert Hellinger’s Family Constellations—a powerful group therapy method for interrupting intergenerational trauma, healing painful family patterns, and reclaiming your own empowered narrative

Includes insights on somatic wisdom, the seven stages of a constellation session, and bringing relational dynamics into awareness for healing and growth

In Family Constellations, Joy Manné introduces the groundbreaking work of Bert Hellinger, whose therapeutic method reveals how unresolved family trauma can shape our lives and influence our experiences—sometimes for generations.

Drawing on Hellinger’s deep expertise across cultural and therapeutic traditions, this book guides you through the wisdom of family systems. It explores how unconscious loyalties, forgotten ancestors, and unmetabolized traumas can keep us from embodying—and expressing—our true, authentic selves and gifts. Here, Manné helps us understand approaches to care and repair so we can bring these patterns to light—and unlock new pathways to love, freedom, safety, and healing.

Inside, you’ll learn about:

• The “orders of love” that govern family systems—and what happens when they’re disrupted
• How family patterns of giving and taking, belonging and neglect, and loyalty shape our lives and embodied experiences
• The seven stages of a constellation session, from naming to integration
• The role of the ancestors and the ongoing influence of the dead on the living
• Practical exercises and truth statements to translate the insights and wisdom of constellation sessions into your everyday life

With clarity and compassion, Manné explains the theory and practice of constellations—how they’re set up, how healing happens, and how resolution can bring peace to an entire family field. She also shows how you can carry these insights into your daily life, relationships, and even work settings. Accessible, deep, and profoundly moving, this book offers a new framework for understanding yourself—and your families—in a new, empowering, and healing light.
