But it is not a peace plan. The whole world saw that in a nano second. It is merely the coda to Netanyahu’s forever stated determination to smash and decimate Palestine in Gaza and take over the territory fully. Humanity cannot bear the personal and collective consequences of the evil enacted in this genocide. For generations we will feel the trauma it has created.

The much flaunted ‘it is what it is’ or ‘the world is like that’ hit me as spiritual bypasses. Being urged to cheer up when you’re in deep grief. No, we have to allow our grief, our anger, our disappointment, our rage and frustration and then call on all the resources we have within ourselves, and by connection with friends and family, and political action, being in community, loving relentlessly, with gratitude for goodness, and pushing through with militant kindness. This i

We are all in need of some deep connection to ourselves and others in this awful time in the world in which our small personal issues are submerged by the accumulation of grief we are in. We cannot fix the world, but we can work with the personal.Are you choosing the same partner? in messy relationship(s) with parent, child or sibling? struggling with the effects of abuse?Constellations works with these issues. ..and many more.

Systemic constellations provide a pragmatic/phenomenological way of working with the generationally collected and currently collective traumas we carry, by recognising what is, opening up our natural resilience which is a resource we take for granted, or perhaps we don’t even acknowledge it. We have it, though, otherwise we would not have made it to this moment, in whatever shape we are in.

In the same way each of us does, the world accumulates grief and trauma. The most recent is never over before the next crashes over us. That is clear, as we see the horrors of the Holocaust still rippling through generations of the perpetrators and the victims in equal measure and power. So too, the effects of the Nakba(s). And now, the tsunami that Israel created in 2023 is insistent, thrashing every shore. There is no way to avoid it.

...every time things seem to be sorting out, something else comes along to mess it up again, because that’s how life is, particularly for vulnerable people of all kinds ...

Israel is the apparently unimpeachable former victim turned rampant perpetrator, blessed only with protectors, not stopped by flame facers, or only ones they murder.

Adolescence, the Netflix series, is loaded with trauma coming down the line, and out of the Andrew Tate poisoned air. And more. I'm picking up on just one aspect of family systems here. Belonging.

Intergenerational stress or trauma or joy or what we create by our own actions, or take on by interest or proximity has an effect. Karma.

‘When you throw a stone into a pond, the pond doesn’t know that it ripples.’

wouldn't you like to feel relaxed and relationally competent and grown up in those situations that ususally make you totally five years old?

'[(despite) resilience]...the trauma does not just float away. We hold it. We carry it. We embody it. We just may not know it.'

'...unacknowledged, shamed and secret members of the family system reverbrate through generations, affecting later members...
