My attitude toward both my daughter and her father changed significantly right away.

For many, family relationships are a source of love and connection—but when unresolved pain enters the picture, they can also become a source of confusion and emotional struggle. This was the case for one mother seeking answers about her strained relationship with her daughter.

"I was completely confused and felt helpless. My daughter’s attitude toward me felt inappropriate, and I couldn’t understand why. It drained my energy and affected my decisions, mood, and overall well-being. I constantly felt guilty, thinking I hadn’t been a good enough mother and would have to pay for it for the rest of my life."
Desperate for clarity, Ta turned to Elena Stevens and Systemic Constellations for guidance.

Uncovering the Root Cause

In the session, Elena skillfully created a safe and supportive space for exploration.

"I felt absolute trust in Elena and her professionalism. Through the session, I realized that the tension with my daughter wasn’t really about her. The unresolved pain of not forgiving my ex-husband—her father—was at the core of our relationship dynamic. In her own way, my daughter was trying to reach out and make me face this unresolved pain."

The insight was transformative.

"It helped me understand the real reason behind my struggles, and I immediately felt a sense of relief. I recognized the steps I needed to take to address this issue. My attitude toward both my daughter and her father changed significantly right away."

Transforming Relationships

Following the session, Tetiana began to experience profound changes in her relationship with her daughter.

"Some time has passed, and our relationship is now on a completely different level. I’ve learned to see my daughter as my child—not as a reflection of her father, who caused me emotional pain. I’ve separated my experience of being a mother from my experience of being a wife."
