The Integrity of Love
Connie Donaldson, MA
| Family Constellation Work |
Sometimes we feel stuck. Emotional problems, difficulties with relationships, or physical problems
seem to overwhelm us. And, try as we might, we can’t seem to figure out how to get out from under
them.
One possibility is that the problems are systemic—that they originate in our family systems. Just as
we inherit our eye and hair color from our families, we also inherit unconscious emotional patterns
and tendencies.
Family love—the love of children for parents, parents for children, one generation for the one coming
after—is an extraordinary force that sometimes overlooks the individual as it strives to retain
intergenerational equilibrium.

Family Constellation Work, developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, offers a way of
working with the power of family love that enables us to:
- reach a clear understanding of the patterns that have influenced us,

| Family Constellation Work is both a reintroduction to ancient wisdom and an introduction to an evolution in wisdom. |
| What if all of the wisdom traditions were right? What if the basis for all of life is love? What if there are laws that govern love that we are just now beginning to discover and understand? What if the energy of past events in our families has an effect on the energy in our present families? Will understanding this give us a chance to rebalance it and live more consciously? What if forgiveness is not the best way to express love? What if we can experience, in our own bodies—not just in our minds—what it feels like when we truly act from love? How would we then live? |
