How to say goodbye so that you can move on

Imagine a group of people. A family, a company, or a group of friends. A member leaves for whatever reason. The truth is this: If that member is not acknowledged for their contribution, the group’s healthy dynamics are compromised.

When I read about this phenomenon in John Whittington’s book ‘Systemic Coaching and Constellations’, I was blown away. I had not realized how important a proper ending was. Not only for the person leaving, but for the ones staying behind as well.
