Sister of the Heart and Mind: Healing and Teaching with Family System Constellations

Sister of the Heart and Mind: Healing and Teaching with Family System Constellations This article honors the author's mentor, Suzi Tucker, a major contributor to Hellinger's systemic family constellation work. The current understanding of empathy is expanded to include multigenerational systemic empathy. Further, in this paradigm the relationship to the mother represents the relationship to the body and to life itself, and an intimate glimpse is offered of how Tucker also assisted the author toward completing the critical reaching-out gesture toward her own mother and ultimately to both lineages. In this way, the teacher – student relationship becomes a sister of the heart connection. As obstacles to receiving the most enduring source of strength and love are resolved, an even more trustworthy maturity develops that represents new possibilities for feminist therapeutic success. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Women & Therapy Taylor & Francis

Abstract

This article honors the author's mentor, Suzi Tucker, a major contributor to Hellinger's systemic family constellation work. The current understanding of empathy is expanded to include multigenerational systemic empathy. Further, in this paradigm the relationship to the mother represents the relationship to the body and to life itself, and an intimate glimpse is offered of how Tucker also assisted the author toward completing the critical reaching-out gesture toward her own mother and ultimately to both lineages. In this way, the teacher – student relationship becomes a sister of the heart connection. As obstacles to receiving the most enduring source of strength and love are resolved, an even more trustworthy maturity develops that represents new possibilities for feminist therapeutic success.
