Where does Psycho genealogy come from?

Psycho genealogy has its source in psychoanalysis, as the first psychogenealogists were psychoanalysts willing to put in relation the story of the patient and his family with ancestors stories that then are called “ghosts” .

This focus allows an understanding of certain conscious (but above all unconscious) psychological mechanisms, in order to release them.

This liberation avoids transmitting family problems again (symptoms, issues...) to the next generation.

But Psycho genealogy also finds its roots in other well-known methods in the areas of personal development and psychotherapy, that we are going to give you a short presentation of now.

Correspondence training to learn Psychogenealogy

In this article, we are going to present you an alternative method to the correspondence training.

Correspondence training has been in existence for a long time as it appears officially since 1800.

But distance training is now taking the place of this aging method that is actually pretty costly for the trainee and for the environment, as we explain below in our chapter about rates.

The program we want you to discover today is our Psychogenealogy training.

Genealogy training: definition & presentation

Genealogy training allows us to create an exact list of our lineage.

With it, we can identify the names of our ancestors with their birth dates, places of birth, and even their professions.

This information is usually presented as a genealogical tree that offers the possibility of visualizing the whole lineage in a schematic way that is easy to understand.

It is true that tracing ancestors can turn out to be complicated sometimes.

What are Family Constellations?

Family Constellations is a method of transgenerational family therapy.

This psychological approach offers the patient a way to discover what limits his personal growth and how he can free himself from it.

To do so, the constellation practitioner asks the person about certain events that affect his ties with his family members:

• accidents,
• death...

Then the person is invited to choose among the members of the group the ones that are going to represent his ancestors involved in the exploration of the constellation because Family Constellations are performed in a group.
