Where and When Does the Magic Happen?
I spent much of last week furthering my training and education in Family Constellation Therapy. It is a continual process and I love knowing that not only am I investing in myself, I am investing in you guys as well! This powerful work continues to heal me, and gives me more insight, experience and expertise that I can bring to the table when working with you guys!
One of the things we looked at was the systemic dynamics that exist in most fairy tales. If you think about most fairytales, they all have an element of magic + a damsel in distress that has one, or both, parents missing. This is actually a very common dynamic here in the US, whether they are physically or emotionally ‘not there’. The woman in the fairytale finds herself helpless, poor, and waiting for her prince to rescue her. Finally, things begin to change…
What causes this shift, or the magic to happen, so to speak? Let’s take a look at our beloved Cinderella. Poor Cinderella is raised by her rather homely looking and cruel step-mom and step-sisters. She wears rags and is covered in ashes from cleaning out the fireplace. Then her MOTHER comes into the picture (archetyped as her fairy godmother, but still, her mother). Now, there is a glimmer of hope. In a very short amount of time, she gets a coach, some hot duds, her heroic prince and most importantly, freedom from the step family!!
Are you still searching for your freedom? Your prince? Your money that could buy you those clothes or a car? Perhaps you really need your mommy. You see, mom gave you life, and without life force energy, how can we be successful in any arena of life? Often times, we need to be in ‘right’ relationship with mom, and often we aren’t, even if we think we are. When we are aligned correctly with mom, then the magic can happen. I know this from personal experience and from many other women that I have helped. Don’t take my word for it, check out a snippet of a recent testimonial from one of the many women who has benefitted from Family Constellation Therapy in relation to her mom (and therefore, everything else).
Hi Natalie! My mom and i had a very healing weekend. Honestly, it put us in a place we have not been in a very long time. This is HUGE. You have no idea. Yesterday was my parents anniversary and my grandma passed away a year ago today so we have been able to get through it together. Honestly, YOU are responsible for that. No joke. I hope you know just how gifted and special you are. Thank you so much for being there for my mom and I. It means so much that you are so supportive, caring and generous.
Thank you so much!
Love,
