    Why Do I Keep Repeating the Same Patterns? A Look at Family Constellations

    Breaking Repeating Patterns with Family Constellations and Curiosity The episodes introduce family constellations, a method developed by Bert Hellinger that explores how unconscious family-system dynamics can influence recurring life patterns without blaming parents. Julie explains that family constellations can be applied beyond family relationships to issues like career, money, leadership, self-worth, and decision-making by focusing on underlying patterns.  A key reframing question is “Where else have I felt this before?” illustrated by the speaker’s experience of feeling overlooked when a company hired someone else to lead a new division, which triggered older feelings of not being enough rooted in childhood attention dynamics. Through journaling, questioning beliefs, and gathering evidence of competence, the speaker shifted from self-judgment to curiosity, emphasizing that awareness enables change. Listeners are invited to identify a repeating challenge and ask what feelings recur and where they’ve felt them before, with resources including the book “It Didn’t Start with You” and the Netflix series “Another Self.” 00:00 Why Patterns Repeat 01:31 Intro to Family Constellations 02:36 Beyond Family Systems 03:05 Where Else Felt This 03:45 Career Overlooked Story 05:34 Reframing and Doing Work 07:07 Curiosity Creates Freedom 08:23 Healing Without Blame 09:07 Your Brave Move Prompt 10:03 Resources and Farewell If you loved this episode, text me and let me know what you though.
