Abstract

Because shame is often a hidden and isolated experience, a mindful and conscious approach is needed in order to heal shame. This chapter deals with the healing ritual of constellation work to transform shame from a negative, challenging emotion into a health resource. The therapeutic method and ritual of constellation work allows for the identification of shame within its systemic context and its conscious exploration. Insight is offered into this powerful healing ritual and tool which explores and transforms shame, not only at an individual level, but also within a therapeutic group context.
