Healing Relationship Dynamics- Uniting Through Family Constellations
Published August 26, 2020
Today we will delve into the challenging scenario when there are two different sides within a love relationship. Let me share with you a perspective based on family constellations to understand and heal this dynamic.
🌟 In family constellations, we recognize that each individual carries deep loyalties to their family of origin. These loyalties can manifest themselves in different sides or alliances that are generated in the family system and can influence our partner relationships.
✨ Imagine a couple in which each comes from families with different histories, values, and beliefs. These differences can drive a wedge in the relationship, creating constant conflict and challenges. At times, it can even feel as if they are living on opposite sides, defending their own perspectives without reaching a true connection and mutual understanding.
🔍 By exploring from family constellations, we can recognize that these different sides within the couple are connected to family loyalties. Each partner carries with them the history and patterns of their family, and these can influence their interactions and decisions within the relationship.
💔 However, it is important to remember that genuine love and connection is not found in advocating for a particular side, but in the ability to look beyond differences and find common ground. It's about recognizing and honoring each other's history, without letting family loyalties become barriers that hinder growth and harmony in the relationship.
Here are some examples of inner sides that can affect a couple from a family constellation perspective:
- "Loyalty to Family of Origin vs. Loyalty to Partner" side: One partner may feel a deep loyalty to their family of origin, while the other may have a strong loyalty to the couple's relationship. These sides can lead to conflict over decisions and priorities within the relationship.
-** One partner may identify more with the role of victim, while the other may identify more with the role of perpetrator**. These camps can generate victimization and blame dynamics within the couple.
Exclusion": One partner may seek greater emotional bonding and connection in the couple, while the other may have a need to maintain a certain distance or protect his or her personal space. These sides can create tensions regarding intimacy and autonomy in the relationship.
Loyalty to Parents vs. Loyalty to Partner: One partner may feel a deep loyalty to his or her parents and family of origin, while the other may have a stronger loyalty to the couple's relationship. These sides may conflict in terms of the expectations and demands of the family systems.
One partner may have a greater inclination toward following family traditions and maintaining continuity, while the other may have a need to create new forms and expressions in the relationship. These sides can create tensions regarding the couple's identity and the balance between the old and the new.
💫 As a holistic psychologist and healer reminds you that, in these cases, it is crucial to seek an inner reconciliation between the different sides that inhabit us. Through inner constellation, we can find a way to balance family loyalties and allow the couple to flourish in unity and authentic love.
💞 I invite you to reflect on your own relationship and the possible sides that may exist within it. Notice how these family loyalties may be influencing your dynamics and consider how you might seek internal reconciliation to find a space for harmony and mutual understanding.
