META-COACHING AND CONSTELLATION WORK

NLP arose from the Family Systems work of Virginia Satir, sometimes called Constellation work. Later others picked up the theme and today there are three (at least) versions or formats for Family Constellation work. All claim to take a systems approach, but at least one of them contains premises, practices, and dimensions that contradict the basic NLP presuppositions.

I bring this up now because a couple people involved in some form of Family Constellation asked Germaine this at the end of the day that we had with Graham Richardson. They asked, “Did Graham do Constellation work?” And the short answer is, No. Of course, the longer answer is, “It depends on what you mean by ‘Constellation work’.” So we have to ask, What do you mean? What are you referring to? Where in the Coaching did you think you perceived Graham doing that?
