Growing up in France, Marine didn’t know much about her family history beyond what was in front of her. Her father, in particular, was emotionally shut down. His past was a mystery—he didn’t know his own father, his roots, or his family—he felt like he didn’t know where he belonged. And, he ended up playing out the same pattern that HIS father did when he abandoned Marine and her family, first emotionally—and eventually physically when he disappeared from her life.
Marine shares how examining your Family Constellations helps you make sense of all the relationships in your life. People often go to her and ask “What’s wrong with me?” But she asks in return—What if this is all so much bigger than just YOU, and just you’re just one piece of a greater story? And now, you have the chance to rewrite it. That’s when you can start to speak your truth, and that’s when you heal.
