Systemic Constellations is a philosophy and approach to understanding and addressing the underlying dynamics and patterns that affect individuals, teams, and organizations. It was originated by German psychotherapist and philosopher Bert Hellinger, who applied it in the context of family and organizational systems. Hellinger recognized that individuals and their families are part of larger systems, and that hidden dynamics within these systems can create patterns of behavior and outcomes that are difficult to understand and change.

 

According to Jan Jacob Stam, a prominent trainer and practitioner of systemic constellations, "The approach involves uncovering the often-invisible dynamics that are shaping a system, and then working with these dynamics to create new possibilities for action and change." This approach can be applied to a wide range of challenges and issues, including leadership development, team dynamics, organizational change, and personal growth.

​

John Whittington, author of "Systemic Coaching and Constellations," describes systemic constellations as "a way of seeing and perceiving the patterns and structures of a system and its members, and using this awareness to facilitate change." Through this approach, individuals and teams can gain new insights and perspectives on their challenges, and uncover hidden resources and potential for growth and transformation.

​

1. Diagnostic constellation: Used to understand why things are the way they are and to arrive at a diagnosis of the systemic reasons for current symptoms.

2. Process work constellations: A follow-up to diagnosis, used to improve relationships between parts of the organization thus the whole.

3. Periodic/preventive check constellations: Used to get an overview of the whole organization and to see the vitality of parts and relationships. Used as a systemic pulse check.
