Sexual Abuse in Family Systems. Online workshop for Family Constellation Facilitators and Students. With Barry Krost (USA).
Learning objective of the workshop: when sexual abuse issues arise in the constellation work, how to recognise them, how to deal with them delicately and what possible dynamics can lead to such behaviour. This is a very sensitive and difficult issue. It is therefore important to learn to understand the bigger picture, the cause and effect relationship. NOTE: It does not look for the culprit, but investigates the background that may have led to the behaviour. This will help to understand and place in the right place the key moments that set in motion a chain reaction to the event. Which is the basic approach of the constellation method – to identify and acknowledge what was, how was, who was and how is really involved in the events = clarity brings calm and the possibility to deal only with one’s own feelings, experiences and emotions. As long as there is confusion, it is difficult to sort out and manage one’s inner world. Järgnev tekst on süsteemse vaatenurga alt ja tuleb mõista selle sügavasisulise külje pealt.

Selleks, et järgnevat mõista, on oluline olla kursis süsteemse filosoofia põhiteadmistega või oskus näha paljude asjada taha pilguga, mida igapäevaselt pole harjunud kasutama. ———— Barry Krost: Sexual Abuse results from systemic dynamics that reflect a deep brokenness in a family system. According to Bert Hellinger resolution becomes possible only when the complexity of the situation as a whole is clearly seen and the responsibility for the harm is returned to those who must be accountable. Often sexual abuse reflects emotional or sexual problems between parents who harm or allow harm to a child in their efforts to solve it. Most of the time it is neither conscious nor deliberate. Viewed systemically the victims are sacrificed to avoid resolving unconscious conflicts, required to consciously keep the sexual abuse secret, and bare the shame and guilt that is not their doing. This unique Family Constellations Online Workshop includes lecture/discussion, guided meditation or exercise and Family Constellations with participants.

Jaana Saar about Barry Krost and his approach
I first met Barry in 2022 at the International Family, Systemic, and Organizational Constellations Conference, where I participated in his practical workshop on schizophrenia. I liked his direct manner, honest and genuine presentation of the topic. He leaves something for each participant to discover and does not claim absolute truth but shares his 40 years of experience. While guiding, he always adds general knowledge and refers to Bert Hellinger’s teachings. I was impressed that Barry also introduces medical terms, definitions, and information, which comprehensively enhances the knowledge and skills of family constellators. Barry is my first constellation therapist outside of Estonia, whom I still turn to when needed. Under his guidance, it is safe and easy to open and integrate topics. Barry wonderfully perceives the client and the field of knowledge and, as a constellator, knows how to remain a firm and neutral party.
