how the process works

  • data & information

    During one or two initial sessions, we will focus on your objective by examining the available data and information regarding your family tree and ancestors. We will explore methods for acquiring further information as needed. To facilitate this process, we utilize predetermined templates and specialized questionnaires

  • construction

    We will embark on constructing the genosociogram. This phase involves in-depth research into the relationships among family members and ancestors, including migrations, separations, traumas, medical histories, and other relevant data. The approach combines the utilization of digital tools and manual work to ensure an accurate and comprehensive representation.

  • analysis

    This process consists of two essential steps. Firstly, a self-assessment where you reflect on the enlightening insights gained during the journey, secondly, my report that delves into the dynamics and patterns revealed by the genosociogram that may be impacting you to achieve your goals. The report may also provide valuable recommendations on how to effectively address and work with these key patterns using various techniques.

ANCESTRY | GENEALOGY | GENOSOCIOGRAM

While Ancestry refers to the collective lineage and heritage of a person, encompassing their familial origins and ancestral background, Genealogy, on the other hand, is the study and tracing of one's family history and lineage through documented records, such as birth certificates, marriage records, and census data. It involves researching and documenting the relationships and connections between individuals across generations.

A geneosociogram is a special kind of family tree that prioritizes extraordinary and/or overwhelming events and occurrences that can cause a significant impact, whether positive or negative, such as illnesses, births, accidents, marriages, etc. It goes beyond a simple family tree by incorporating additional information such as emotional bonds, communication patterns, and systemic influences as well as social trauma and the social and political context where ancestors and family members lived at that time. It is the main tool for genealogy.

The psychological side of the genealogy emerged in the early 1980s through the work of several researchers coming from different areas and independent styles. The pioneer in this field was psychologist Anne Schützenberger, who investigated different illnesses and developed the concept of the "syndrome’s ancestor." The fundamental premise of this concept is that individuals are deeply influenced by their family systems, and unresolved issues or traumas from previous generations can affect the well-being of the present generation. These unresolved issues may manifest as relationship difficulties, emotional struggles, sicknesses, or patterns of behavior that repeat across generations.

The fundamental premise of the psychological side of Genealogy is that individuals may be influenced by their family systems and unresolved issues or traumas from previous generations. This can affect the well-being of the present generation which may manifest as relationship difficulties, emotional struggles, sicknesses, or patterns of behavior that repeat across generations.

For instance, if you have struggled with establishing long and fulfilling romantic relationships, exploring your genealogy might reveal an interesting connection. You may discover that your great-grandmother, with who you bear a striking resemblance or share similar personality traits or even the same name, experienced a forced marriage without love and remained in that relationship for the duration of her life.

Drawing from over 50 years of research and experience, it has been observed that when we become aware and recognize these types of intergenerational connections, our inner being undergoes a transformative process, enabling us to break free from the bonds of inherited trauma. In some instances, a family constellation session may be recommended to facilitate a deeper level of healing and resolution.

We will create your genosociogram utilizing the information you provide about your family, followed by an in-depth analysis of recurring patterns and disharmonies that emerge. The objective is to guide you towards a healing solution. Whether you have a specific theme to address or simply wish to explore your personal history and its potential influence on your present life, the profound revelations that manifest within the visual representation of your family tree are truly astonishing.

To complete this process, multiple sessions of approximately one hour each will be necessary. These sessions can be conducted either online or in person, based on your preference and convenience.

FAQs

what is the difference between ANCESTORS and family members?

The term "ancestors" is used to describe individuals who came before our great-grandparents in our lineage.

DOES THIS PROCESS APPLY TO ADOPTIVE FAMILY MEMBERS?

Even when we may include the adoptive family in the diagram, the connections and patterns are coming from the bloodline only.

What can i do if i don’t HAVE information?

I will suggest data sources and links where you can dive in for information about your family. However, sometimes, we think we don’t know, but when we start working on the family tree (first step to the genosociogram), a kind of key information starts to come through which helps you to move forward in your research.

I was adopted and i don’t have any information about my bloodline.

In this scenario, we can integrate the powerful technique of family constellations with the examination of historical documents. Additionally, we may explore the option of consulting a skilled genealogist specializing in your specific ancestral lineage.
