<p><strong>Episode 18: Working with Large Groups in Family Constellation Work — with Bertold Ulsamer</strong></p><p>What changes when we move from working with individuals or small groups to facilitating a room full of people?</p><p>In this conversation, Bertold Ulsamer shares reflections and practical wisdom from decades of facilitating Family Constellations in groups ranging from intimate circles to audiences of hundreds and even thousands.</p><p>Together, we explore:</p><p>• Preparing yourself before entering a large group<br>• Working with nervousness and performance anxiety<br>• Creating connection and engagement in larger groups<br>• Working with difficult participants and strong group dynamics<br>• The role of silence and spaciousness in facilitation<br>• Respecting your own limits as a facilitator<br>• The difference between seeking approval and serving the work<br>• Why large groups may awaken old dynamics around attention, being seen, and our relationship with the mother</p><p>One idea I especially appreciated was Bertold's suggestion that what we need as facilitators can be offered to the group. If we need a moment to slow down, reconnect, or breathe, inviting the group into that experience can create connection for everyone.</p><p>Whether you facilitate Family Constellations, teach, coach, lead workshops, or simply find yourself speaking in front of groups, I hope you'll find something valuable in this conversation.</p><p>Website: irisconstellations.com<br>Email: <a href="mailto:Iris@irisconstellations.com">Iris@irisconstellations.com</a></p><p>© 2026 You, Me & the Family Tree Podcast.

<p><strong>Episode 17: Adolescence — Standing Behind Our Children as They Grow</strong><br><strong>with Suzi Tucker</strong></p><p>What does it mean to support our children without holding them back?</p><p>In this conversation, Suzi Tucker and I explore adolescence as a bridge between childhood and adulthood—a time of experimentation, uncertainty, belonging, and becoming.</p><p>We talk about growth as a messy and often "sloppy" process, the challenge of allowing our children to discover their own strengths and capacities, the search for belonging, and why we don't need to fully understand our adolescents in order to love them.</p><p>As a mother of three teenagers, I really appreciate this conversation.</p><p>Not easy to apply, but who said life is easy.</p><p>I especially value the reminder that we don't need to fully understand our children in order to love them, trust them, and stand behind them as they grow.</p><p>Connect with Suzi Tucker:<br><a href="http://www.suzitucker.com">www.suzitucker.com</a></p><p>Connect with Iris Shaham:<br><a href="http://www.irisconstellations.com">www.irisconstellations.com</a></p><p>© 2026 You, Me & the Family Tree.
