I am very happy to read that. I also find that there is too much focus on trauma. That has become part of the brand of “constellations” and actually at times discourages people to participate. More focus on the positive aspects and also on deepening understanding of “what is” and how we make a next move would be very transformational.

Yes… those who are trapped in the past will repeat it… My focus is let the PAST be done and go as LIFE moves Forward and is a gift.. The Ancestors wanted the same until Trauma distracted their path yet they live on through us…so WE can move forward for them… Trauma didn’t stop the Gift…The Past gave us an opportunity to create a new Future in the PRESENT…Namaste

If we do consider trauma not as being dramatic (yes or no) but as showing a certain structure – physically and mentally – we can focus on strengthening our clients. To me, trauma work is not about focussing on the trauma, but about focussing on what is needed to restructure the individual system to an integrated, healthy, and strong here-and-now personality.

[Gary Stuart]

Yes, excellent…. so true… I see many forget the strength aspect and the miracle of survival against all odds…Namaste

[Eimear O'Neill]

I agree that we need to celebrate the gifts and strengths of our ancestors and ourselves, not just the wounds. We need those strengths to heal the deep underlying trauma… and we can only access the fullness of those strengths once we do so. “Bringing together that which has been sepereted” matters…. whether that is peoples, understandings or parts of the self.

[Eimear O'Neill]

The focus is on HEALING… I agree with Gary, the strengths and resilience of our ancestors matter as much as their attempts to survive, deny and deal with their traumatic wounds
