I have an associate who recounted to me a story of attending a workshop in
Germany where Hellinger replaced the representative for Father and faced the
young man who would not respect his father. and Bert hit they guy very hard
in the chest. My friend said he imagines it was Bert's own issues breaking
through and that he probably felt badly about it after, but who knows. And I
have had potential clients saying they've seen some material about the
Hellinger work that she found hierarchical and threatening and wasn't sure
about participating.
It makes me wonder again about the different stages of his work. I started
practice in the early 2000's, before he had fully moved into the 'movement
only' work, not to mention stuff that came later. I know, in constellations,
it is not my role to force issues on anyone. Period. I generally feel very
good about the self-respect and positive feelings that come to most of the
participants and clients in constellations. I have twice had clients that
refused to see the results, denying the experiences of the representatives
(and my observations) to be in any way meaningful. My response (yes,
internal frustration) is to explain that the work is done with the response
of participants to the energy of the family situation. If that work by many
participants does not speak to client, I can't change the work.
My answer to queries about Bert's practices is that I cannot participate in
anything that coerces people and feel sure they will feel safe.
