How does a Family Constellation session work?
In a session, the client (also called the seeker or issue holder) briefly states the issue they want to address. The facilitator then guides the client to choose representatives (either other group members, figurines, or objects) for family members or aspects of the issue. These representatives are positioned in relation to each other, and through the process, unconscious patterns and emotions emerge. The facilitator helps guide the system toward resolution and healing.
-
What issues can Family Constellations help with?
Family Constellations can address a wide range of issues, including relationship difficulties, recurring life patterns, emotional blocks, inherited trauma, and even workplace or organizational challenges. The method is not limited to family matters and can be applied to various systems in your life.
-
Does my family need to attend the session with me?
No. Family members do not need to be present. Representatives or objects stand in for them during the process.
-
What is a 'representative' in a Family Constellation?
A representative is someone who stands in for a family member or aspect of the issue during the session. They do not need special training or prior experience. Representatives often report experiencing emotions or sensations connected to the person or role they represent, which helps illuminate hidden dynamics.
-
Can Family Constellations be done online?
Yes. Sessions can be held virtually or in person. Online constellations have proven to be just as effective, with participants connecting to the resonance field from their own space.
-
What should I expect after a session?
Many people experience shifts in their emotions, relationships, or perspectives following a constellation. The effects can continue to unfold over time, and it is recommended to allow space for integration after a session.
You can tailor these questions and answers to the specific style and offerings of your practice. Including clear, reassuring, and informative responses will help potential clients feel comfortable and confident in exploring Family Constellations with you.

How long does a F/C session last?

How does a NeurOptimal® session work?
During a 45 minute session, sensors are placed on your scalp and ears to monitor brain activity. You relax and listen to music or watch a movie. The system detects moments of turbulence or inefficiency in your brain’s electrical activity and provides brief pauses in the audio as feedback. This gentle interruption prompts your brain to reorient itself in the present moment and optimize its function.
-
How many NeurOptimal® sessions will I need?
There is no set number of sessions, as every brain is different. Many people notice shifts within six sessions, but the process is individualized. Some continue regular sessions for ongoing benefits, while others space them out as needed. You are encouraged to listen to your own sense of well-being to determine your session frequency.
-
Do I need to do anything special during a session?
No effort is required from you. Simply relax, listen to the music or watch a movie, and let the N/O system do the work. The training takes place outside of your conscious awareness.
-
Do I need a brain map or QEEG before starting?
No. NeurOptimal® does not require any diagnostic brain mapping or QEEG scans. The system is designed to work dynamically with your brain’s natural processes.
-
In your practice do you combine methods to optimize treatment?
Absolutely. I find that a NeurOptimal sessions enhances integration of the Family Constellations more intense, deep investigative nature.
