hellinger this notion of loyalties refers to the deep subconscious ties that bind us to our family system determining on many occasions our life choices and our relationships with others these loyalties arise from A deep and primal love for our family they are non-verbal commitments that we often assume without being aware of it this to belong be loyal to our family system and maintain its cohesion through this process we identify with the destinies The sufferings, the guilt or the debts of our ancestors repeating their stories or assuming their burdens but What does it really mean to be Loyal In the context of family constellations being Loyal is not always healthy nor beneficial I leave you an example a child can identify with an excluded ancestor and repeat his destiny as a way of keeping him present in the family system he can do it without being aware of this dynamic and this invisible loyalty can limit his ability to live his own life and reaching your potential this concept of loyalty is invisible opens the door to a greater understanding of the dynamics that influence our lives invites us to reflect on our relationships our decisions our achievements and our challenges reveals the profound laws that govern family systems and help us discover the hidden links that bind to our past invisible loyalties can be challenging to face but also provide us with a pathway to healing and liberation through the work of family constellations we can bring these loyalties to light understand their origin and its impact and finally finding ways to honor our family system without being tied to its tragic destinies the introduction to this fascinating world of invisible loyalties is only a beginning we will discover more about how these loyalties are formed how they manifest in our lives. lives How our relationships can influence our mental health and ultimately How we can free ourselves from them and find our own autonomy and Freedom the role of the family in the formation of loyalties the family is our first environment of socialization it is the nucleus where we learn about love, belonging and loyalty, however, the family can also be the setting where invisible loyalties are formed from the moment of our birth or even before we are already part of an intricate and complex network of relationships that is our family in this system they exist unwritten rules silent expectations and roles that are assigned without being verbalized many times the emotions the experiences and destinies of family members are not openly expressed but are transmitted through generations hellinger observed that in every family system there are orders of love natural laws that govern family relationships when these orders are respected the family system remains in balance, however when these laws are altered, for example when a family member is excluded, forgotten or unfairly treated, invisible loyalties may arise as an attempt to reestablish this balance children by being deeply loyal AND loving to their parents can absorb these systemic imbalances unconsciously can carry the burden of an excluded member repeat the fate of a forgotten ancestor or make up for an injustice suffered by someone in the family system This is the formation of invisible loyalties an invisible loyalty can manifest itself in different aspects of our lives it could be a career lesson that Follows in the footsteps of an ancestor a tendency to build relationships with people who reflect family patterns or even an illness that repeats that of a member Recognizing how our family of origin plays a role in shaping our invisible loyalties can be a crucial step in understanding our behavioral decisions. and patterns of life it is important to clarify that the objective is not to blame the family but to understand the dynamics that have influenced us and how we can begin to free ourselves from the ties that limit our growth and personal development the work of family constellations the conceived family constellations by bethel hellinger are a therapeutic method that focuses on revealing and resolving systemic entanglements in our family system a family constellation is a three-dimensional representation of our family system in a family constellation session the client selects people to represent the members of their family family and places them in a special configuration that reflects your perception of family relationships through this family map hidden patterns and systemic entanglements are revealed what makes family constellations so powerful is that they are not based on interpretations or psychological analysis , but in the perceptions and sensations of the representatives, the representatives, although they do not know the history or the details of the family system that they represent, usually feel and express exactly what the real members of the family feel, this ability to tune in to emotions and sensations from others it is what hellinger calls phenomenological consciousness the goal of a constellation is to restore balance and order to the family system honoring those who have been excluded or forgotten restoring natural hierarchies and allowing love to flow again in the system when reveals a systemic entanglement and those excluded are recognized and honored representatives often Feel a Release and a sense of peace This change can also affect the client and their relationship with their family system Family constellations can be a path to healing and releasing invisible loyalties by revealing systemic Entanglements allows us to see what we have been carrying unconsciously and gives us the opportunity to let go of these burdens allows us to honor our family system without getting caught up in its destiny and conflicts invisible belonging and loyalties The need to belong is a fundamental aspect of the human experience.

It is this need that links us to our families and our communities. However, when this need to belong is translated into invisible loyalties, we can find ourselves trapped in family dynamics and patterns that limit these loyalties. Invisibles arise from a deep desire to belong, to be accepted and loved by our family, this loyalty can be so strong that we are willing to carry loads, sacrifice our own needs, and repeat the fates of other family members in the hope of maintaining our belonging.

In the family system, however, what begins as an act of love and loyalty can become a bond that binds us and limits us. The feeling of belonging is essential, but it is important to distinguish between a healthy belonging and one that traps us in invisible loyalties. Healthy belonging allows us to be ourselves, respecting our own boundaries and living our own lives, while still feeling part of our family system, whereas invisible loyalties make us feel we must follow certain patterns, meet certain expectations , or carry certain burdens to maintain our belonging.

family constellations can be a useful tool to investigate our need to belong and our invisible loyalties through it we can see how our need to belong has shaped our relationships and our lives we can see to whom we have felt loyal what burden we have assumed and what patterns we have repeated the balance between giving and receiving loyalty or debt the balance between giving and receiving is one of the most fundamental dynamics in our family relationships it is a healthy family system this balance is maintained naturally and fluidly however when this balance is disturbed invisible loyalties can emerge in family relationships It is natural for there to be a flow of give and take parents give children the Children receive from their parents This is the natural order of things, however sometimes this flow can be interrupted. For example, if a father is not capable of giving what the son needs, the son may feel indebted to the father and assume a burden for make up for what is missing this debt can become an invisible loyalty the son may feel that he owes something to the father and may spend his whole life trying to pay this debt imagine he can sacrifice his own needs and desires he can take on responsibilities that are not his due and can repeating the patterns and destinies of the father all in an attempt to balance The give and take again constellations can be a valuable tool in resolving these kinds of invisible allegiances in a constellation we can see how the balance of give and take has been upset in our system family we can see to whom we owe something and how we have tried to balance these debts through this process we can begin to free ourselves from the burdens that do not correspond to us and to restore the natural flow of giving and receiving restoring this balance does not mean rejecting our family or denying our love for them means acknowledging that we owe them no debt that we don't need to sacrifice our lives to balance the system means accepting that we can give and receive love in a balanced way without carrying debt family order and silent loyalties every family has an order an invisible structure that guides our interactions and our relationships, this order is like a map that indicates our place in the family, our roles and responsibilities, our connections and our loyalties, however, when this order is disturbed or ignored, invisible Loyals can emerge that bind us to healthy family patterns and dynamics in a healthy family system order is clear and respected parents take their place as givers and children take their place as takers each family member has their own place and role and the order of arrival is respected with the older ones before the younger ones, however, when this order is altered, many problems can arise. If a child ASSUMEs the role of a parent or if a younger brother is treated as if he were the older one, this can unbalance the system and create invisible loyalties these silent loyalties can manifest in many ways only one who TAKES on the role of a father may feel indebted to his father and may spend his life trying to compensate for this imbalance a younger brother who is treated like the older brother may feel Trapped in a role that does not belong to him and can repeat the fates of his older brothers these loyalties can limit our lives and prevent us from living according to our own needs and desires through a constellation we can see how the order of our family has been upset and how this has affected our lives we can see what mistakes we have assumed what burdens we have carried and what loyalties we have followed and most importantly we can begin to restore order and free ourselves from these loyalties restoring order Family does not mean rejecting our family means giving back the burdens that do not belong to us let go of the roles that do not belong to us and honor each family member in their own place identifying the invisible loyalties in your life invisible loyalties are not always easy to identify these subtle ties to our family system can be so deeply ingrained in us that they may seem like simply a part of who we are, yet identifying these freedoms can be a critical step in breaking free from family patterns that do not serve us and living a more authentic and fulfilling life identifying our invisible loyalties requires deep exploration and honesty of our lives requires that we ask ourselves difficult questions that we look squarely at our family relationships and that we are willing to see patterns and dynamics that can be uncomfortable and painful it is a journey within that requires courage honesty and a willingness to change I'm leaving you to ask some questions that can help you identify your invisible loyalties there are patterns in your life that you keep repeating Despite your efforts to change them you feel Trapped in certain roles or relationships in your family you feel that you are carrying burdens that do not correspond to you you feel that you are indebted to a member of your family the answers to these Questions can offer you clues about your invisible loyalties but identifying these lethal ones is only a first step once we have identified them the next step is to work to free ourselves from them this may involve changes in the way we relate to our family in our way of understanding our place in the family system and in the way we live our lives [Music] How to free ourselves from our invisible loyalties once we have identified our invisible loyalties the next step is to learn how to free ourselves from them this process is not always easy it can require considerable effort and a long-term commitment to change deeply entrenched patterns of behavior, however with the right tools and the necessary support it is possible to free ourselves from these invisible loyalties and live a more authentic and fulfilling life the first strategy to rid yourself of your invisible loyalties is to become aware of them awareness is a crucial first step in any change process requires brutal honesty with yourself and a willingness to see things as they are not as you would like them to be can be painful to acknowledge how you have been limiting yourself because of your loyalties invisible loyalties but this awareness is critical to change once you become aware of your invisible loyalties the next step is to start challenging them This may involve changing the way you behave in your family relationships setting healthy boundaries and making decisions that are in line with your own wants and needs this rather than being motivated by your loyalty to the family system this is where family constellation techniques can be especially helpful through a constellation you can explore your unseen loyalties in a safe and controlled environment you can experiment with different ways of behaving you can practice setting limits and you can start to feel what life would be like without these invisible loyalties this can be a powerful and liberating exercise letting go of your invisible loyalties takes a lot of patience and persistence family patterns can be deeply ingrained and can take time to change it is important to be kind to yourself during this process and remember that every step however small is a step in the right direction real cases invisible loyalties in practice one of the best ways to understand invisible loyalties and how they can affect our lives is through real cases these real life stories can provide valuable insight into how invisible loyalties manifest and how they can be overcome below i will share with you a series of real cases illustrating invisible loyalties in practice case 1 María always se She felt like the mother of her family.
