A Shadow Constellations Workshop
23-23/0/2023 – Amsterdam – NL
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” C.G. Jung
The Shadow is the realm of the unconscious into which we put all the self-parts we repress and deny, that we disown and can’t acknowledge in ourselves. The Shadow is ‘born’ to the family we are born into and into the culture(s) we are brought up in.
Shadow Constellations combine the healing potential of both Family Constellations as developed by Bert Hellinger and Shadow Work as developed by Carl Jung. It connects Inter-generational trauma healing with Self-Parts Integration in novel ways.
This workshop is for therapists, facilitators, teachers, practitioners and other professional helpers who work with people.
Our Shadow & Professional Relationships
When we see (or project) our Shadow in another person we become triggered.
We may become judgemental, angry, superior and educating, or disgusted and wanting to go awat.
It may cause us to lose our empathy and our center, leading to emphatic failures with clients.
It also makes us more prone to being captured by different roles and transference relationships.
A common, even archetypal example may be falling into the role of the savior because our helplessness is in the Shadow. Another one is being captured by a perpetrator role in the system of the client because we haven’t gotten enough in touch with our own perpetrator in the Shadow.
Shadow Triggering may also lead to emotional and physical attraction as deep inside we would like to be close and even unite with what we have removed from our conscious presence. This becomes complicated when it happens with our clients, colleagues and teachers, and it does.
Finally, What is in our Shadow influences the range of topics our clients can safely bring to us, and also the types of clients we can work well with.
For Family Constellations facilitators, Shadow work is invaluable as it helps us maintain a wide perspective and to stay fully in touch with the knowing field, and identify it when we lose that position.
