Being highly effective, in solving many problems with which psychologists turn to, systemic family constellations still cause concern in people.
Are systemic constellations dangerous or not?
Are there clear requirements for which you should not do the placement?
Of course there is. Any certified constellator knows about it.
The placement should not be done in the following cases:
- Any mental disorders
- Borderline states
- Severe chronic diseases (acute phase oncology, heart defects, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, severe bronchial asthma)
Any mental disorders Borderline conditions Severe chronic diseases (acute phase oncology, heart defects, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, severe bronchial asthma)
- Pregnancy (better not to risk it)
- Age up to 14 years (only child constellation on toys)
- Pregnancy (better not to risk it)
- Age up to 14 years (only child constellation on toys)
Let me give you an example from practice. A 26-year-old girl, with a borderline level of personality organization, a psychologist by training, worked in a municipal psychological center (more than 5 years have passed since the events described, contacts have been lost). Turned to me about her irrational fears. One of them, I remember, was the fear of losing loved ones.
After completing a course of cognitive-behavioral therapy, the girl got rid of her fears and left me in a calm and confident state.
A few months later, the head of the psychological center announced that a constellator would come to their center and conduct systemic family constellations with them. During the constellation at the request of the girl, the constellator (woman) put four participants on the floor and said: look, these are your aborted brothers and sisters. The girl was horrified. With difficulty she waited for the end and went home in a state of great fear. I could not sleep at night and in the morning called me and asked for help. She had to undergo a short course of cognitive therapy in order to get rid of this intense fear. But it could have been worse.
Therefore, in constellation work, I adhere to the following principle - I take only people who have undergone psychodiagnostics, therapy or counseling with me. As you can imagine, this guarantees the fulfillment of the conditions for conducting the spreads.
It is also very important to understand that just one constellation can put the client in front of the need for radical change. Will he be ready for them? If psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy show that the client's psyche is exhausted, and he cannot now access resources, then the use of the method of systemic family constellations should be postponed.
