Family Constellation GuyStart the new yearAs the earth moves us into 2026 it is often a time to reflect on the year past. I recommend going a bit further back, and perhaps reflecting on the things we have picked up out of blunt loyalty. Those things are easy to deal with - of course I recommend Family Constellation Therapy, but other therapies are very capable too!

Family Constellation GuyRafe Nauen Academy launchRafe Nauen Academy launches - this episode explains what it does, and why. It will give you an idea of what to expect and how it would help your own practice especially if you are a therapist or healer. We pick up influences (epigenetics) on the whole route of our journey. Some of those things will be amazing (the gift of life) and some will be far less useful. Family Constellations therapy gives you the tools to reassign those influences so that they all serve you better

Family Constellation GuyWho is the expert?When we go for psychotherapy we believe the expert in the room is the practitioner - after all they have spent years studying and practicing. The constellation model is different. The client has ALL the data for the journey to this moment - even the thousands of years before they were born. The job of the facilitator is to tease out the nuances and hidden dynamics so that they come into clear sight without any prejudice or judgement.

Family Constellation GuyIt Didn't Start With You: Understanding the Power of ConstellationsIn this episode, Rafe explores the often-asked question: What is a constellation, and why would someone choose to do one? Through personal insight and professional experience, Rafe unpacks the profound impact of inherited emotional patterns—those invisible threads passed down through generations that shape our lives in unexpected ways. From feelings of not being good enough to repeating relationship struggles, we often carry burdens that aren't truly ours. Family Constellations offer a respectful and revealing way to bring these hidden dynamics to light. Rafe explains how this process works, what participants can expect, and how unresolved ancestral ex...

Family Constellation GuyMore about Epigenetics and DNAIt turns out that the precursor cells for male sperm and female eggs can carry significant epigenetic coding on the noncode parts of DNA from 2 or three generations. The egg is complete by the time the mother is born, but the male precursor cells don't start producing sperm till after puberty, and therefore any traumatic experience of the long male may get included in the epigenetic elements by the time the sperm is created. It takes about 4-6 weeks for sperm to be made from precursor cells so, any traumas along the way can get added in...

Family Constellation GuyDo you need t be ill?Sometimes we grow up with big chunks of stuff missing, like being seen, or the feeling of love. What sometimes happens is that a symptom, or disease becomes the definition and empathy and sympathy from others appears as a poor relation to love. That can keep us ill - the term secondary gain means the added value to your feeling of life from being dis-eased or ill.

Family Constellation GuyHow many parents have you got?If you were adopted, you have at least 3 parents - and possibly many more! Epigentics teaches us that parenthood is laregly driven by epigenetics not just DNA (I share 60% of my DNA with a banana but little or no epigenetics) So if you were adopted, see ALL of the parents as just that - Parents Epigenetics covers the signals and proteins that every cell, and structure receives. The signals and proteins dictate how the cell develops and changes. Many adopted children feel they need to choose - they do not!

Family Constellation GuyAdoption and EpigeneticsThe parenting of children is a complex business and adopted children may have a number of actual parents - not DNA driven, but epigenetically driven. Thus children sometimes look more like their adoptive parents than their birth parents. Strange but true.

Family Constellation GuyTraining with RafeI periodically run training weekends and the sort of feedback I get is "Following the training weekend I have found myself being more curious about the hidden dynamics in all sorts of situations and gaining a better understanding of what might be going on "behind the scenes". It aims to enable a therapist or coach for example to simple enter their clients ancestral field to help them establish where some of the hidden dynamics they have inherited, belong.

Family Constellation GuyTriggersWhat can we do when we get triggered by certain events or even words? We can continually find something takes us back to a trauma in the past - even decades or more, and we find ourselves hurt (again) or upset. This episode asks you to challenge the triggers, or do some work on what started it all off in the first place. Family Constellation Therapy is fantastic at underpinning current experience to past events and enabling a simple understanding of where things belong.

Family Constellation GuyArchetype thinkingWhen we imagine our mum or dad we run the risk of overlaying the image of perfection - the textbook version, or archetype. The Constellation model enables us to visit the story and see where the stuff that has formed us belongs - sometimes we get to see that things/ideas/beliefs that we have held all our lives, are nothing like the person we actually are. So then we can drop the archetype and beging a journey of our own making - safe, positive and fruitful
