The “5 Soul Wounds” are concepts that represent deep and often unconscious emotional traumas, developed during childhood and carried into adulthood, shaping one’s self-perception and way of relating to others. The five main wounds are:
Abandonment: Arises from the feeling of being neglected or left alone in times of emotional or physical need. Those who carry this wound fear loneliness and often seek validation from others, developing a dependent attitude.
Betrayal: Forms when a person perceives they have been betrayed or that their expectations have not been met, creating distrust in close relationships. Individuals with this wound tend to exert control over situations to avoid feeling vulnerable.
Humiliation: Derives from experiences of shame or belittlement, generating a sense of inferiority and fear of not being accepted. Those affected may seek to please others to avoid criticism or judgment.
Injustice: Stems from the perception of being treated unfairly or not being appreciated. People with this wound tend to be rigid, striving to prove their worth through perfection or hard work.
Rejection: Develops when one feels unwanted or rejected, often by parents or significant figures. This leads to a tendency to withdraw or distance oneself in relationships to avoid further emotional pain.
Family Constellations is a therapeutic technique that allows individuals to address these wounds within the context of family dynamics and free themselves from accumulated emotional burdens. During a session, I guide the person in symbolically representing their family, reenacting emotional bonds and past traumas. Through this process, it becomes possible to observe how individual wounds are often rooted in ancient family patterns, unconsciously inherited and passed down.
By exploring and releasing hidden tensions through constellations, a new understanding of personal experiences emerges, fostering the acceptance of wounds. This journey helps restore emotional balance and break dysfunctional patterns, empowering individuals to build healthier and more authentic relationships, no longer conditioned by past traumas.
