Addiction is not an individual’s personal and moral failure, nor is it merely a genetic vulnerability or disposition/dis-ease. As the message of Dr. Gabor Maté, proponent of a compassionate, systemic view of addiction goes viral, Systemic Constellation Work offers an opportunity to expand systemic thinking and experience beyond our family of origin.
Yes, our ancestor’s genes matter; so do their experiences. The Constellation Process broadly expands the focus on addiction beyond it rooting in the family of origin. This unique, trauma-informed, systemically structured work includes our clients’ lineages — the family’s dead — in a breathing 3D family portrait. Recognizing broken connections retrospectively and interventions to mend them in real-time lies at the core of this approach.
