Through Family Constellations
with Mark Wolynn

Mark Wolynn

Mark Wolynn, director of Pennsylvania’s Hellinger Institute and codirector of the Hellinger Learning Center in New York City, is one of North America’s foremost Family Constellation facilitators. He conducts workshops and trainings in family therapy throughout the United States and abroad. As a regular presenter at universities, hospitals, clinics, conferences, and teaching centers, Mark has guided thousands of singles and couples toward having lasting and fulfilling relationships. In addition to working with relationships, he treats those who struggle with depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, fears, panic disorders, guilt, persistent anger, lingering grief, and medical conditions unresponsive to conventional treatment.

Whether you are single or in a relationship, this workshop is designed to get to the heart of what prevents you from having the closeness you desire. Come experience Family Constellations, a three-dimensional learning process designed to reveal the hidden dynamics and unconscious family loyalties that limit your ability to have successful relationships. Guided by Mark Wolynn, one of North America’s foremost Family Constellations facilitators, you will learn:
  • What influences relationship choices on a subconscious level
  • The four unconscious themes operating when relationships struggle
  • Twenty invisible dynamics that can erode true intimacy
  • Three ways relationships can be significantly damaged
  • How to preserve aliveness and establish your full weight with a partner

Family Constellations allow you to break destructive patterns so you can live a more fulfilled life. Once you are free of entanglements from the past, new ways of giving and receiving love can begin to take root. The results are often immediate and life-changing. Thousands of people throughout the world have benefited from Mark’s insightful and intuitive approach.

THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY OF BERT HELLINGER


Considered one of the most innovative psychotherapists in the world today, Bert Hellinger has revolutionized the heart and soul of family systems therapy. His phenomenological approach to healing uses "family constellations" to expose the hidden and often destructive dynamics in family systems. With deep respect for what he terms, "the Orders of Love," possible solutions and healing resources can be implemented. Hellinger's approach to family therapy is practiced in more than 30 countries around the world. For further information about Hellinger and his publications, visit his Web site: www.hellinger.com/international/english/index.shtml.
Family constellation is a 60-minute group process that has the power to affect generations of suffering and unhappiness. This process allows people to untangle themselves from unconscious loyalties and offers a profound, concrete, and lasting solution. Through this significantly experiential workshop, you will be: 

  • introduced to Hellinger's phenomenological approach to family systems group therapy, its principles, and theoretical understandings;
  • able to identify the theoretical differences between Hellinger's work and other models of group and family systems therapy;
  • able to personally experience family constellation work, either as clients, participants, or observers; and
  • able to identify ways that Hellinger's family systems therapy can be implemented in clinical practices with groups, couples, or individuals.

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF INTEGRAL STUDIES

October 27-28, 2012


One-, two-, three- and four-day trainings... 

The Core Language Approach®




Getting to the Core of the Issue in Four Questions


The language of our deepest fears—our Core Language® – can stem from an unresolved trauma in our family system. For many of us, the effects of trauma blend into our words, emotions, reactions and choices in ways we never even think to question.

The Core Language Approach® is an effective therapeutic process for resolving issues at their source. Developed by Mark Wolynn, the CLA® quickly exposes the root causes behind many of the emotions, behaviors and reactive patterns that keep us mired in our daily lives.

In this workshop, therapists will:

  • Learn a specific method of questioning and interviewing designed to quickly identify the core trauma underlying a client’s issue
  • Learn how to recognize the Core Language® beneath a client’s story
  • Learn to follow a client's Core Language Map® back to an unresolved traumatic event in the system
  • Learn how to retrieve the “lost language” of the trauma and locate where these missing sentences belong in the system
  • Provide clients with a context for understanding the symptoms they’ve been experiencing
  • Learn how to implement a practical and effective resolution

The Core Language Approach® has the power to interrupt the cycle of trauma and release clients from limiting patterns of anxiety and fear.

Anxiety and Panic Disorders: A Systemic Perspective




This training is designed to provide a nonpharmacologic, family systems approach to treating anxiety and panic disorders in adults and children. Distilled from systemic principles originated by Bert Hellinger, Virginia Satir, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, Milton H. Erickson and others, this course provides therapists with an overview of the dynamics in family systems that lead to anxious behaviors, as well as offers practical tools and methods for safe and effective intervention.   

Therapists will be able to identify systemic causes of anxiety and panic disorders and implement practical treatment plans to help clients break destructive family patterns. Therapists will learn to expand the traditional “family tree” to include those members whose exclusion or rejection caused discord in system, and learn methods to reconcile relationships with missing fathers, biological parents, deceased siblings, etc., even when contact is not possible. Upon completion, therapists will be able to apply systemic principles in their own practices with groups, couples or individuals.

Contact (412) 422-1955 for more information


Trauma and Reconciliation:
Interventions in Individual and Group Sessions




Therapists are frequently called upon to evaluate and treat clients who have experienced trauma. A client may present with a specific history of trauma, or with vague symptoms, which can often be traced to an underlying traumatic event in the family system. Symptoms such as mood swings, lack of concentration, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, eating disorders, insomnia, migraines, chronic pain and substance abuse can all be manifestations of trauma.

This training is designed to provide a nonpharmacologic, family systems approach to treating trauma in adults.
Therapists will learn how to implement safe, practical and effective treatment plans to help clients restore physical, psychological and
emotional equilibrium.

Reframing the trauma and reconciling the experience between victim and perpetrator will be addressed. Whether working one-on-one or in a group setting, therapists will learn the importance of using dialogue, imagery, body-centered awareness techniques, homework and ritual to support healing and resolution.


Contact (412) 422-1955 for more information

 

Intake as Intervention




The problem, as well as the solution, is often revealed within the first moments of interaction. When listening only to our client’s story, we risk following our clients into the places where they perpetuate their issues and remain stuck. However if we know how to get to the core or fundamental driving force behind the issue, we can implement the most potent solutions.  

In this training, therapists will be provided with a protocol of questioning and interviewing that quickly exposes the core trauma underlying the client’s issue. Therapists will learn to follow a map comprised of their client's thoughts and words, which will illuminate not only the client’s core issue, but also the specific and essential skills and resources necessary for a thorough resolution.
  • Learn a specific method of questioning designed to quickly get to the root of the issue
  • Learn how to hear "with a third ear" beneath your client’s story
  • Learn to follow your client's Core Language Map
  • Learn how to extract the client's Core Sentence®
  • Learn how to implement practical solutions in the first session

Having the Relationship I Want




Whether we’re single or in a relationship, this workshop is designed to get to the heart of what prevents us from having the closeness we all desire. We'll explore the forces that influence relationship choices on a subconscious level — silent sabotage, hidden family loyalties, invisible identifications, as well as the habitual behaviors that erode our intimate relationships. We'll examine in depth the various dynamics that affect intimacy, learn how to determine who holds the true weight in a relationship, and demonstrate the importance of an equal balance of giving and taking.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience Family Constellations, a three-dimensional learning process designed to reveal the hidden dynamics and unconscious family loyalties that limit our ability to have successful relationships. In a moment of insight, a new life course can be set in motion. Once we are free of entanglements from the past, new ways of giving and receiving love can begin to take root.

Illness: Our Unconscious Connection to the Family



"Diagnosis can shut down inquiry
and block our relationship with an illness."


If you or one of your children struggle with an illness, chronic pain or persistent condition, you could be unconsciously repeating “unfinished business” in your family history. Unresolved traumas and hidden family loyalties can lie beneath many of our physical and emotional symptoms.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to identify the underlying family dynamics that affect all facets of health. You will also learn how to break unconscious patterns and resolve the obstacles that stand in your way.

Mark Wolynn is one of North America's foremost family constellation facilitators. He is especially skilled at pinpointing the source of persistent symptoms. Once these unseen dynamics are brought to light, a deep life shift can begin to unfold. The results can be life-changing.

Core Language ® — The Pathway Out of Fear




If you are struggling with a fear or phobia, or are overwhelmed with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks or anxieties, you may be experiencing the effects of an unresolved trauma. When fragments of trauma play out inside us, these fragments leave clues behind. Clues in the form of emotionally charged words and sentences expressing our deepest fears often link us back to unresolved traumas. We call the verbal expressions of these traumas: Core Language
®. Traumas can also express in nonverbal ways, including physical sensations, behaviours, emotions, impulses and even the symptoms of an illness or condition. For many of us, the effects of trauma blend into our words, emotions, reactions and choices in a way we never even think to question.

In this Core Language® workshop, you will be given a map to follow. It’s a simple map because it is comprised of your own words, phrases and sentences. It is called a Core Language® Map. Everybody has one and everyone’s is unique. This map is essentially a tool. It is a procedure for gathering and identifying fragments of trauma that have been lost or hidden from view. By exploring your Core Language®, you will be able to integrate these fragments of trauma in a healthy way. Core Language® has the power to interrupt the cycle of trauma and release you from limiting patterns of fear and anxiety.


When: Sunday, February 27th, from 10:00 to 6:00
When: San Anselmo, CA

Self-Injury and the Family System




They cut themselves, pull out their hair, pick at their skin, etc. They’re caught between an unacknowledged victim and perpetrator. They enact both fates in one body, harming themselves and then suffering from self-inflicted distress. In this training, therapists will learn to recognize the dynamics behind self-injury, as well as learn to perceive the self-injurer’s words, symptoms and physical actions as signs leading to traumatic events in the family system. Methods for integration will be demonstrated. Whether working one-on-one or in a Family Constellation, therapists will learn the importance of using body-centered awareness techniques, homework and ritual to support healing and resolution.

The Effects of War



We belong to a nation, like a big protective family, that exists to protect its people who cannot do it on their own. This bond must be acknowledged. Failure to do so can invite suffering in the successive generations. For example, a man who leaves his country to avoid fighting in a war may not be able to take his being saved when others in his community perished or paid a difficult price. Later on, someone in his family may be drawn to go to war, or suffer like those left behind who suffered. In this training, we will learn how to work with the effects of war trauma in the family system. We’ll explore the dynamics affecting subsequent generations, and demonstrate ways to bring about healing and reconciliation. We'll take a close look at PTSD and learn how to work with soldiers who have witnessed the death of a fellow soldier, participated in the death of a civilian or child, have been attacked, have lived under the constant threat of death, have taken another's life, etc.

Illness and Reconciliation



Unspoken family loyalties can express in myriad physical, emotional and psychological symptoms. For medical treatment to be optimally effective, systemic identifications must be examined. In this training, we will learn how the effects of tragic events in families can influence the health of our patients. We'll learn how
to identify family dynamics that contribute to the development of physical and psychopathology, as well as how to work with patients with specific illnesses
.

Trauma and the Family System



Family traumas live in our bodies, in our anxieties, in our fears— even in the words we speak. The idea of an inherited “family” nervous system appears to be an observable phenomenon. A woman may, for example, carry a trauma of sexual abuse— but it may not be her trauma. A man may live his entire life depressed, estranged from those around him, and never understand why. As therapists, we often encounter clients who carry symptoms of a particular trauma, yet know of no such information in their lives or in their family systems. In this training, therapists will learn how to uncover trauma in the system by exploring their client’s words, fears, symptoms and body language. Therapists will also learn how to extract a Core Sentence from their client’s “list of complaints,” and develop it into a core image. In this way, the trauma in the system can surface within minutes and be transformed into a healing resource.
