Book review by Francesca Mason Boring, a bicultural woman enrolled with the Western Shoshone Tribe in the USA, author, teacher, lecturer and international facilitator of Family, Human & Natural Systems Constellation & Constellation as Ceremony as transformational work.
“Connecting With Your Ancestors: Transforming the Transgenerational Trauma of Your Family Tree is a clear introduction to family systems constellations and systemic concepts that support trans-generational healing. Indeed, Patricia Kathleen Robertson brings welcome clarity to those who have had a muddled healing journey.
Introducing specific explanations, providing guided inquiry into some dynamics that may block deep and satisfying relationships, Connecting with Your Ancestors takes much of the confusion and mystery out of finding a path that brings wellness and vibrant contentment.
Robertson’s writing is appropriate for those who work in healing professions, as well as individuals who wish for the relief that comes from ‘embracing the whole’.
For those new to systemic thinking, family constellation, this is an excellent primer. For experienced facilitators and those involved in other healing modalities, this book is an invitation to widen our view and practice. Lovely to read such a grounded invitation to life!”
“It is delightful to see in Patricia’s work all her wisdom and knowledge; and how it can enable a profound transformation and healing in every human being.”

“Patricia has genuine quality and intuitive instinct, with organized thoughts that build from origin to conception. It is a learning process. The writer is learning along with the reader, sharing the intuitive thought process. I feel writers have had to experience their subject to be able to impart a learning experience. Patricia has crystal clear expression in her words. I will continue to enjoy reading and learning from her work.”

“Patricia takes us on a quantum leap towards the immemorial pilgrimage of “know the truth and the truth will set you free” with her most uncanny, scholar of the human soul ailments’ ability to shed light into the most recondite and unexamined corners of our internal life. She endows the pilgrimage with lightness, love and non-judgmental ease. From that seeing we emerge brighter, wider, stronger, blessed.”

“Patricia has helped me find my inner peace and balance. My life has been complicated by leaving my homeland because of war. I had to leave everything that was familiar and dear to me and all my loved ones behind including my parents, relatives and friends. My sons struggled with this journey. Patricia helped me let go of the guilt I felt inside about my kids. Sometimes I wake up still carrying that guilt and I reach out to the work of Patricia. It makes me realize that I did the best I could and I still do the best that I can. At the end of the day that’s all you can do – your best.”
