Family Constellations: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Patterns (feat. Marine Sélénée)
The family is the basis for every human. And the influence of these relationships cannot be underestimated.
The beliefs, norms, and patterns we’ve learned from your family significantly impact our life. One way to overcome negative and destructive patterns that we’ve inherited is through family constellations.
Marine Sélénée, my guest today, has been helping her clients shift generations of unhappiness and suffering. She’s here to tell us more about her process.
Marine Sélénée is a New York City/Miami based Family Constellations therapist and author of “Connected Fates, Separate Destinies.” Marine has partnered with Goop Health and Hay House as an expert. She also facilitates retreats and workshops, speaks at conferences, and is featured on numerous podcasts and articles. Her unique approach to Family Constellations helps people heal from family wounds and find individual blocks rooted in the family system.
During our discussion, Marine helps us understand how generational trauma affects the way we approach the world. She explains how family constellations can help us break away from dysfunctional family patterns and become the best version of our adult selves.
