    Episode Highlights

    What is Family Constellations Therapy?

    • Family constellations therapy involves discovering your family story and understanding how it subconsciously impacts your life.

    • If you don’t acknowledge your family story, it might affect your adult life. 

    • A part of this process is uncovering the things you’re holding on to, which keep you from moving forward.

    • Rosie had more revelations in a session of family constellations than she has ever had in therapy.

    Marine’s Journey to Family Constellations

    • At first, Marine Selenee just wanted to understand why her father abandoned them. 

    • She was introduced to family constellations when she hit rock bottom at 25 years old.

    • The simple idea of family constellations is that you’re responsible for holding onto your past or moving on from it. 

    The Impact of Acknowledging Your Past

    • The real burden is not the past itself but how you hold onto it.

    • Your past is not going to change. You can only change your perception of it.

    • By acknowledging it, we stop waiting for the narrative to change.

    • Any issues you are dealing with right now stem from a lack of belonging.

    • It takes courage to change to another dynamic.

    About Marine’s Book

    • Marine is finishing the last chapter for her book, Connected Fates, Separate Destinies.

    Starting Family Constellations Therapy

    • As long as you’re open to experience a new type of healing, you can do family constellations therapy.

    • Marine Selenee wants to give her clients every tool that can help them do the work on their own.

    Unraveling the Subconscious

    • Our subconscious minds already give answers through our everyday language.

    • Understanding our subconscious is a true test in getting to know who we are.

    • You have the right to know your story and to heal from that.

    • A lot of things in Rosie’s subconscious were holding her back. Going through family constellations made her feel more at peace and empowered. 

    Is Family Constellation Exhausting?

    • Family constellation is Marine’s passion, so she doesn’t even feel like it’s work for her.

    • It feels like the sessions nourish her soul, that she feels energetic after each session.

    • Marine takes care of herself first to be able to take care of her clients.

    • She has a lot of people who help her take care of herself. 

    About Love and Relationships

    • Love and relationships are Marine’s favorite topics to write about in her book.

    • If you want to be in love with your partner, you need to heal your relationship with your parents. 

    • Listen to the full episode to learn how to change your love life for the best drastically. 

    Family Constellations for People with No Parents

    • If your parents passed away, you could still find them, along with the answers, within yourself. 

    • If you’re adopted, the answers are always within you, and family constellations can still work for you.
