How is love expressed in your family?

Is it passionate or discreet?
Gentle or violent?
Marked by strong marriages—or by divorces?
Is the “second marriage is the lucky one” a belief you grew up with?
Was there cheating? Silence? Open relationships?
Or real communication and tender words between your parents?

What did you witness as a child?

Was it easy to ask for love?
Was it safe to receive it?
Or did it feel hard… or completely absent?

What is your relationship with your mother—can you receive from her freely?
And with your father?

How do you see the relationship between your parents today?
Strong? Dysfunctional? Loving? Abusive?
Do they truly belong together—or simply tolerate one another?

The way you describe love based on what you witnessed as a child quietly shapes your own love story. Much of it lives in the subconscious, influencing who you choose, what you accept, and what feels “normal.”

But you don’t have to repeat it.

You can break free from inherited patterns and create love on your own terms.

Family Constellations are here to help you untangle what isn’t yours—so you can build relationships that feel aligned, conscious, and truly yours.

With love,
