    86. Family Constellations, Ancestral Roots & the Future of the Work with Yishai Gaster

    In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright chats with Yishai Gaster, a family constellation facilitator, trainer, and founder of The Constellations Path in Israel. Yishai shares his journey into family constellations after first encountering Bert Hellinger’s work in the 1990s, and how his own approach has continued to evolve over decades of working with individuals, groups, therapists, facilitators, and doulas. They explore the evolution of Bert Hellinger’s work, the development of clinical one-to-one constellation work, and how constellation thinking can support people through experiences of trauma, migration, cultural disconnection, and loss of connection to their roots. Yishai also shares his perspective on resources, ancestral and cultural belonging, reconnecting with our origins, and the importance of making peace with what has come before us. The conversation then takes an unexpected turn into the future of constellation work, as Yishai talks about developing an AI constellation facilitator and explores what happens when this deeply human and intuitive work meets emerging technology. A fascinating conversation about roots, belonging, trauma, evolution, and the ongoing movement of constellation work into the future.

    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.

    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.
