Supervision, inter-vision, inner-vision, other learning moments

4 website - change-is-hard

The training programme to be a Primal Rebirth® therapist does not end after having received my diploma.  Because of ongoing research and as a result of it altering insights all over the world, participation in the programme for supervision, inter-vision and inner-vision of the Training Institute AUMM  is needed. The supervisor is a psychologist with over thirty years of experience  in body work as well as inner child work.

Also, I am member of the team of assistants in the training workshops of the Instituut AUMM.

Other activities with the purpose of staying informed professionally: 

I participate in an intervision group for Systemische Struktur Aufstellungen (systemic structure constellations). Out of this group constellation platform ”Open Vloer” emerged, with its home in DJOJ, a spiritual centre in Rotterdam.

Three times I joined the international training intensive for organisation constellations, IOCTI, taking place every two years (next IOCTI is scheduled in October/November, 2022).

What effected me the most, is ”in experience, staying close to myself”. My orientation used to be outward, out of connection. Through being close to myself, I am able to sense my share in interactions, and take responsibility for them. This I had to learn, a long-term process.

In case you need support for this purpose, as well, I will gladly be there for you. – From my own experience I know: don’t hesitate, go for it. Because, you know … in your life there is only one hero: YOU – that really is you.

Systemic work, constellations

2009-11-23 Zesgeneratietekening

Family constellations is a method which shows us what place we take in the group of relatives in which we were born, or the family of origin where we grew up. This method is helpful when we would like to pull to consciousness, for instance, old habits of which we sometimes wonder whether they are so helpful to us in nowadays life. These little, or often  not, working behavioural patters can be the cause of problems which at first sight can hardly be explained.

For instance: a father who has really high expectations with one of his daughters; a mother who maintains silence about the father’s name of her firstborn child.

A lot of questions about our life, maintaining relationships with our relatives, family, friends and spouse can be downsized to what is called entanglements in the family system. This is  about unconscious or half-conscious connections from which we can disconnect respectfully and lovingly. As a result amongst others our creativity can flow freely at last.

4website familieopstThis method is being executed in a group. The person with the request for a constellation (about which the facilitator and the group member will have a talk), will put up other group members to be representatives for elements mentioned during the preceding talk. He/she gives every representative a place in the room, this happens intuitively, according to his/her inner picture. Then he/she will sit down on one of the empty chairs. Then, something special happens. The representatives somehow feel connected to one another, like in a family. In the developing picture the person with the question notices loyalty between two or more relatives, or the lack of connection somewhere else in the constellation. He/she witnesses what has been noticed internally, possibly for many years. The facilitator of the constellation will provide some interventions which may lead to (more) insight, maybe even to a loving and respectful solution of an until that moment figurative connection, after which the representatives and the other group members will relax notably. Thus the person with the question can recover what he/she thought to be lost until the constellation.

How this works, is unknown. In the meantime there is countless proven evidence of the workability of the method.

This working method has been originated out of Virginia Satir’s work, an American psychologist, in the 50’s en 60’s of the twentieth century. The most famous person who further developed this method is Bert Hellinger. Since then systemic work has been developed even more, in dozens of techniques, amongst which constellations for organizations, as well as sickness and health.

A recently developed constellation method is the life integration process (LIP). As life keeps on unfolding itself most of us don’t have much awareness of the diversity of successive stages of life. This is one of the reasons why we often do not realize what we have gone through in order to arrive where we are today. In the life integration process you will be working with representatives for a number of stages of your life. You’ll have the opportunity to communicate with them. Sometimes there will be no talking, then hugging may be the only way of communication needed. Sometimes it is astonishing. Often it is surprising. You will get a lot more appreciation for who you are. And that may be seen, as well as experienced, finally.

There are two ways to participate in constellation workshops: people having an issue to be looked at, and  people who are interested in the work, not having an issue. Because of this difference participation fee varies: for somebody having an issue the fee is €70, for other participants this is €40. Please note that all workshop participants can be requested to represent elements of a constellation.
