    What happens when artificial intelligence meets the deeply human work of Family Constellations? In this thought-provoking episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright is joined by Lap Fung Cheng, a Systemic Constellation Facilitator and Trainer who has worked extensively throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As one of the pioneers of Family Constellations in China, Lap brings a unique perspective on integrating emerging technology with systemic practice. Together, they explore how AI is beginning to support the learning and practice of Family Constellations and where its limits lie. Lap shares how he's developing AI tools to help students learn faster, using thousands of real-life constellation cases while emphasising that human intuition, presence, and the ability to read the field remain uniquely human. The conversation also explores: How AI can support Family Constellations without replacing facilitatorsWhy intuition and presence cannot be replicated by technologyThe "Wi-Fi" and "iCloud" metaphor for understanding the constellation fieldBringing Family Constellations to China and making the work more accessibleThe future of healing, consciousness, and systemic work in an AI-driven worldHow evolving family systems may shape the future of humanityWhether you're an experienced facilitator, a student of Family Constellations, or simply curious about how technology is reshaping the helping professions, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on where innovation and human wisdom meet. 🎬 Watch Lap Fung Cheng's AI short film: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EN6vhv3W7/?mibextid=wwXIfr **** 🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

    82. The Hidden Stories Behind Children's Behaviour with Helen Younan-Barrett

    What if children's behaviour is inviting us to look beyond what's happening on the surface? In this episode, Tracy is joined by Helen Younan-Barrett, founder of The Family Systems Hub, mental health social worker, play therapist, Gestalt psychotherapist, and Family Constellations facilitator with more than 23 years of experience supporting children, parents, and families. Together they explore how children's behaviour can often reflect the wider family system, why healing isn't about "fixing" the child, and how Family Constellations and play therapy can help uncover the hidden stories shaping family life. Helen also shares her own journey as the daughter of Assyrian refugee parents, and how reconnecting with her family story and ancestry has transformed both her life and the way she supports others. In this episode you'll hear about: • Why children's behaviour is often communication rather than the problem • How family patterns can influence emotional wellbeing across generations • The connection between play therapy and Family Constellations • Supporting both children and parents with greater curiosity and compassion • Finding the gifts that can emerge from even the most difficult family experiences Learn more about Helen's work: www.thefamilysystemshub.com I’d love to hear what resonates with you—drop me a message on Instagram @tracy.cartwright  and for more insights visit my website at tracycartwright.co.nz ***  🎙️ Want to join the constellation community or learn more?

From hidden family stories and ancestral loyalties to nature constellations, sacred sites, and Indigenous teachings, this conversation invites us to remember that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves.

    79. What You're Carrying May Not Be Yours with Fernanda Vitale

    What if the challenges you're facing didn't begin with you? In this episode of Constellations and All That, I sit down with Fernanda Vitale to explore how Family Constellations can help us see our lives, relationships, and experiences through a different lens. Fernanda shares her own journey into this work, the constellation that changed the way she understood her family story, and how systemic awareness has shaped her work with children, families, and young people. Together, we explore how patterns can repeat across generations, what it means to take responsibility without blame, and why awareness can open the door to new choices. In this conversation, we discuss: • How Fernanda first discovered Family Constellations • Generational patterns and unconscious loyalties • Why awareness creates choice • The difference between blame and responsibility • How systemic thinking changes the way we see others • The ripple effects of healing within families • Why what we're carrying may not always belong to us One of the most powerful ideas from this conversation is that many of the struggles, behaviours, and patterns we experience may be connected to something larger than ourselves. Not everything starts with us. Sometimes healing begins when we pause long enough to see the bigger picture.
