Case History:
Mrs. Smith is a 38-year-old woman who has been struggling with infertility for the past 5 years. She and her husband have been trying to conceive without success and have undergone multiple fertility treatments, but none have been successful. In her family constellation, Mrs. Smith revealed that her mother had also struggled with infertility and had ultimately adopted a child. She also mentioned that her father had been estranged from the family for many years and had never been a part of her life.
During the family constellation, it was revealed that there was a representation for Mrs. Smith’s father, who had left the family and was not present for her mother’s struggles with infertility. This representation was placed in the center of the constellation, representing the missing piece in the family system. As the constellation progressed, it became clear that this representation was not only holding the pain and sorrow of Mrs. Smith’s father’s absence, but also the pain and sorrow of the entire family system.
As the constellation progressed, it was suggested that the representation of the father take on a more active role in the family system, and that the family members forgive him for his past actions. This led to a shift in the energy of the constellation and a sense of healing and closure for the family.
Following the family constellation, Mrs. Smith and her husband were able to conceive naturally and had a healthy baby boy. She reported feeling a sense of peace and closure in her family and was able to move forward in a more positive and healthy way.
