What Is – Systemic Family Constellation

Systemic Family Constellation is a therapeutic and experiential approach that reveals the hidden dynamics within families and systems. It helps bring to light unresolved issues, entanglements, and patterns that may be carried across generations, often unconsciously.

Core Principle I – Acknowledgment of What Is

A central principle of constellation work is the “acknowledgment of what is.” This principle emphasizes acceptance of reality in its existing form, without denial, resistance, or premature attempts at change.

Core Principle II – Belonging and Loyalty

The meaning of belonging and loyalty is - Everyone who is born into a family, across all generations, has an equal right to belong to it—even if they are no longer part of the family due to death, miscarriage, abortion, adoption, or other circumstances.

Core Principle III – Order and Hierarchy

The third fundamental principle of systemic constellation work is order and hierarchy. Within every family and human system there exists an implicit natural order that determines the rightful place of each member. This order is often based on chronological precedence—for example, parents come before children, earlier partners come before later ones, and older siblings come before younger siblings.

Core Principle IV – Reciprocity: The Balance Between Giving and Receiving

The fourth fundamental principle of systemic constellation work is reciprocity—the balance between giving and receiving. Giving and receiving are the cornerstones of every relationship—whether intimate, familial, social, or professional.

Hidden Loyalties in the Lens of Family Constellation

In the context of family constellation work, hidden (or invisible) loyalty refers to an unconscious bond that we carry toward previous generations in our family. This may take the form of an emotional or spiritual burden that we bear on our shoulders, often without awareness, out of loyalty to our parents, grandparents, or to traumatic events that occurred in the family system.

Signs of Hidden Loyalty

Family loyalty is like an invisible thread that ties us to our relatives and their destinies. Out of blind love, we may unconsciously adopt pain, limitations, or patterns that do not truly belong to us—seeking to stay connected to loved ones or honor significant family events of the past.

It Didn’t Start With You, But It Can End With You

Family loyalty is like an invisible thread connecting us to the destinies of our relatives. Out of blind love, we may unconsciously adopt pain, limitations, or patterns that do not belong to us—seeking to remain connected to those we love or to honor significant events in the family’s past.

Constellation as Systemic Therapy

In its original meaning, the word constellation refers to an arrangement of stars in the sky. Each star occupies a particular place and has its own unique influence. Seen from Earth, the stars appear grouped into recognizable patterns, forming constellations. Each constellation creates an image, with the stars connected by forces such as gravity and mutual influence.

It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle

The starting point of systemic and family constellation work is the understanding that we are never truly alone, and that an individual’s struggle is always an echo of a difficulty within the larger system they come from.
