Family Constellations begins with this premise—it did not start with me. Many of us become entangled with the unhappiness of those who came before us, unconsciously adopting destructive familial patterns of anxiety, depression, failure, and even illness and addiction. Family Constellations therapist Marine Sélénée uses her unique approach to this philosophy to help her clients get to the root of their pain. In this episode, CIIS faculty in Expressive Arts Therapy Mimi Savage joins Marine for a conversational introduction to Family Constellations and how we can all harness this philosophy to take ownership of our lives. This episode contains explicit language. It was recorded during a live online event on October 14th, 2021. A transcript is available at ciispod.com.
