Family Constellations & Healing Generational Trauma w/ Hylke Bonnema #18

Anna Catharin Heil Season 2 Episode 1

Hylke Bonnema is one of the most experienced and pioneering Family Constellation facilitators in the Netherlands, with over 25 years of experience in systemic work. Originally trained as a psychologist and body psychotherapist, his journey into constellation work began as a personal healing quest—one that led him to study directly with Bert Hellinger, the founder of Family Constellations.

In this conversation, Hylke shares his deep insights into transgenerational trauma, systemic healing, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. His work bridges psychology, shamanic traditions, and meditative practices, offering a holistic approach to understanding the hidden dynamics within family systems.

We explore:
 🔹 What is Family Constellation work? (And why it’s NOT talk therapy)
 🔹 The role of epigenetics in inherited trauma & how trauma gets passed down
 🔹 How collective trauma plays out in societal constellations (including what his work revealed about war, conflict, and global crises)
 🔹 The shadow aspects of family history & why the unspoken stories matter
 🔹 Using ritual, embodiment, and meditation to integrate healing experiences

This conversation is a powerful deep dive into the invisible patterns that shape our lives—and how we can break free from them. If you’ve ever felt stuck in repeating cycles or wondered how much of your story comes from generations before you, this episode is for you.
