Release the past, heal the present, and free your family line
EFT Family Constellations: Clearing Generational Patterns with Tapping
As an EFT Master Practitioner & Trainer, psychotherapist, and metaphysician Michael introduces his “EFT Family Constellation” page as a therapeutic, somatic, and emotional release application with his focus on the more immediate family systems from his experience as a psychotherapist, and over 30 years using EFT.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is offered as a complementary, self-applied somatic tool that supports the deep systemic insights gained from constellation work. This work is NOT a substitute for professional mental health services, licensed family therapy, or specialised modalities such as Hellinger Family Constellation Work. Clients are encouraged to seek the advice of qualified professionals in these particular fields for specific psychological or systemic family dynamics.
Michael acknowledges and strongly recommends Hellinger’s Systemic Family Constellations work as an effective therapeutic modality.
This alternative approach was developed by the amazing German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, who began his foundational research into representative perception and family system dynamics in 1978. He created Family Constellations by blending his 16 years living with the Zulu in South Africa, Virginia Satir’s family sculpting, Jacob Moreno’s psychodrama, and Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy’s theory of invisible family loyalties. Gestalt and Psychoanalysis helped shape his clinical focus on present-moment awareness and systemic entanglements.

What is Family Constellations?
- Systemic Lens: A therapeutic approach exploring hidden dynamics and entanglements in your family of origin or ancestral line.
- Unconscious Loyalties: How we unknowingly carry burdens, grief, or trauma that belong to previous generations.
- The Goal: To restore order, honour ancestors, and find a place of personal freedom.
Healing family patterns across generations stops old pain from repeating. It breaks cycles of trauma, obsession, and fear.
The helps you live a freer life. It also protects your children from carrying burdens that do not belong to them.
What is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)?
- Somatic Tapping: A gentle mind-body method using fingertips to stimulate traditional acupuncture/acupressure points.
- Nervous System Regulation: Calms the amygdala while mentally tuning into stress, triggers, or emotional pain.
- Symptom Relief: Lowers the intensity of emotional distress tied to specific memories or relational blocks.
The Synergy: How EFT Meets Family Constellations
- Processing the Imprint: Where traditional constellations visualise the system, EFT taps on the physical distress that arises when facing a difficult family dynamic.
- Targeting Personal Triggers: You tap on your own emotional reactions, anger, or grief tied to your parents or ancestors.
- Releasing Entanglements: Using phrases that acknowledge an ancestor’s fate while simultaneously clearing your own energetic charge via tapping points.
- Shifting Internal Representations: By calming your nervous system while visualising a family member, you change how you emotionally carry that dynamic. This can be very helpful for conflict resolution.
- Breaking the Cycle: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) healing allows you to tune into your body, calm your nervous system, and untangle yourself from old family patterns. As you tap and release inherited stress, you step into your own authentic truth.
This inner shift stops old survival reactions, can heal family wounds, and brings peace to you, and subsequently your whole family. - Gentle Integration: By combining somatic acupressure (EFT) with conscious cognitive acceptance integrates the experience smoothly without overwhelming your nervous system.
Michael blends ancestral work, Gestalt therapy, and Family Constellations to help heal deep intergenerational issues.
His work looks at the immediate family system, and also familial dynamics to find shared strengths to address old problems.
As a trained metaphysician, he trusts spiritual ideas like ancestral energy and a shared family field.
He pairs Emotional Freedom Techniques with Gestalt chairwork to help clients feel and process emotions in the present moment for fast release. This honours Bert Hellinger’s work by putting real physical and emotional truth above mere thought.
Michael values real feelings and body truth over heavy mental analysis.
- Ancestral Work: Explores family history to clear old emotional patterns.
- Family Constellations: Often uncovers hidden systemic issues in family groups.
- Gestalt Therapy: Focuses on the current moment and deep emotional truth.
- EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): Uses tapping to calm the nervous system.
- Family Representation: Chairs can stand in for missing family members.
- External Dynamics: Clients can often see hidden family patterns clearly.
- Emotional Release: Clients process old anger or deep grief safely.
- Perspective Shifts: Clients routinely step into the shoes of their relatives.
- Workshop Benefits: Clients frequently get group-level insights in a one-on-one session
Programme Overview
Michael offers optional ancestral healing as a separate preparation phase before your main Immediate Family Systems sessions.
He approaches this as a metaphysical and spiritual practice. It’s emotional, psychological, and, for many, very spiritual work.
This step uses self-reflection, family history, and meditative exercises to help break generational cycles.
Healing Process Details
- Initial Preparation: Complete guided ancestral homework at home before your one-hour live session.
- Core Benefits:
- Calms the nervous system
- Builds emotional strength
- Clarifies personal goals
- Next Steps: The exact path depends on your personal goals and whether you choose to include this preliminary work.
It is important to say that a constellation does not always require going back many centuries. Overall, Michael’s work addresses immediate parental and grandparental dynamics (such as parent-child enmeshment or sibling exclusion) rather than esoteric or distant ancestral lines – translating systemic principles into practical solutions for everyday relational challenges.
| Feature | Traditional Constellations | Michael’s Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Multi-generational / Ancestral | Immediate / Intergenerational (Parents & Grandparents) |
| Focus Areas | Deep family secrets & distant lineages | Enmeshment, sibling exclusion, daily dynamics |
| Objective | Systemic clearing across time | Resolving present-day behavioural patterns |
Furthermore, these sessions demonstrated the profound impact of Family Constellations and the effectiveness of energy therapies, particularly Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), as applied in this particular clinical context.
A Remarkable Clinical Case Study from many years ago
As foundational clearing rounds reduced her immediate, baseline distress, the client began experiencing highly atypical somatic and emotional material. She reported an intense, sudden onset of historical grief and terror that she explicitly identified as external to her own lived experience.
As the session progressed under strict clinical tracking, the narrative material coalesced into vivid transgenerational trauma.
The client experienced a profound somatic regression, identifying the source of the distress as inherited emotional residue from a paternal ancestor who had survived severe systemic persecution decades prior.
With explicit informed consent to navigate this non-ordinary processing state, we applied targeted EFT sequences to the ancestral distress markers. Over subsequent integration sessions, the client reported a complete resolution of the inherited somatic load, a breakthrough that was later structurally validated through subsequent, independent genealogical disclosures within her family. ~Michael
