About Family Constellations > A Phenomenological Approach
Phenomenology - Our Perceptions
Phenomenology is a Humanistic framework that forms the backdrop to all of the Humanistic therapies.
Humanistic therapies include Existentialism, Gestalt, Carl Rogers (Person Centered) Virginia Satir’s Family Sculptures and Family Constellations.
This theory is based on the fact that no one knows what reality is. All we can do as human beings is to appreciate that :
What we see or experience as real is simply only our perception.
Our perception is highly influenced by our conditioning, experience, education, culture, socio- economic group, family, beliefs and attitudes. Just because we perceive something to be real does not mean that it is.
Consider the situation of 10 people going to a social gathering and each of them coming away from that situation, each having a different perception of what happened there. Who is right? Does it matter who is right? Perhaps they are all right in their own way.
Family Constellations works to show perspectives from several different angles and to expose the overall bigger picture. This is often quite different to our own view. Looking at the situation from a different perspective is often all that is necessary to allow a person to move forward.
This has proven to be a highly valuable principle in the therapeutic process for both the client and the therapeutic relationship. The therapist attempts to stay out of the equation and does not have the attitude of knowing what‘s best. He or she attempts to see the situation outside of their own perspective to give them a non judgmental attitude to the client and his or her life. This is very respectful in allowing them to appear equal and human to their clients in the therapeutic process. This framework also believes that each of us has the capacity and resources to resolve our own problems to the level that suits us at any given time.

Testimonial
I’ve had some great results from having my own constellation. Lifelong issues are no longer affecting me, and I’m attracting good things into my life now instead of more problems and difficulties. It’s been amazing, with virtually instant results after only 1 session. Leaves long drawn-out therapy for dead. I am very grateful to Yildiz. She is an intuitive, gentle, genuine and caring person. Many, many thanks. Margo Courtney, Sydney
