The belief that being different or being challenged by

life is not OK may result in us hiding or only

revealing a particular side of ourselves: our “good side”.

Hiding, however, requires much energy. Protective walls

and illusions must be established and maintained, limiting

our freedom. Here, constellation and embodiment work

offers a life-affirming alternative with the approach that

everything is allowed, yet nothing must be. This implies

that there is space for all emotions—including fear, shame,

grief, etc. Nothing is excluded, and at the same time,

nothing is demanded nor forced.
