This Family Constellations workshop offers an opportunity to explore and tap into the deep-seated patterns that influence our sense of belonging. Whether you are seeking personal growth, healing, or a better understanding of your place in the world, this session will provide valuable insights and transformational experiences.
Living from a “place” of a rescuer or a scapegoat, the only joy of someone’s life or a lost cause, being a people-pleaser and caregiver while suppressing our own desires and needs… any of these can be a heavy burden. The good news is it is a burden we can part ways with at any age, in the name of our own lives.
We will take a step toward reclaiming our authentic place in the family system, shedding the burden of “extra roles,” and reconnecting with the resources available to us as we return to where we belong by birthright.
Session Overview:
Theoretical Introduction: We will begin with a theoretical introduction to the concept of belonging, drawing on the foundational principles of Systemic & Family Constellations therapy. We will explore how our initial sense of belonging within our parental family influences our overall well-being, relationships, and life choices. Participants will gain a better understanding of the systemic forces at play and learn how to influence them to improve their lives.
Experiential Exercises: Following the introduction, participants will engage in guided experiential exercises designed to uncover hidden personal dynamics and unconscious patterns that affect their current lives. These exercises will involve constellation setups to reveal the often unseen influences from our family systems on our present-day life contexts. By embodying (representing) different experiences and perspectives, participants will gain new insights into their place within their family, society, and the world.

My name is Yulia Ilchyk. I am an Ukraine-born Family Constellations facilitator, Somatic Release practitioner and holistic counselor residing in Maryland, USA.
In 2011, I first discovered Family Constellations as a client. Experiencing their healing effects and the positive changes they brought into my life, as well as observing similar results for others, inspired me to dive deeper and become certified in Family Constellations therapy and other healing approaches.
Over the past eight years, I have been offering individual Family Constellations online, along with holistic counseling sessions, thematic webinars, and in-person Family Constellation workshops in the Washington DC area.
My approach mainly integrates systemic principles, addressing trans-generational inherited trauma, with body-oriented techniques based on Somatic Experiencing® by P. Levine, to facilitate meaningful transformations.
