The family is also a form of relationship setting that can consist of two or more people with its own family field. Family members unconsciously signal, influence and interact with each other, conflicts might exist and alternate with moments of loving. Each family has its own unique story, dreaming and relationship field that presents itself as just as unique sets of challenges, issues or aspects that they manage really well.

What is the process work understanding of a relationship field? Any occurrence in the family, or occurrence in one person is actually the process of the entire group, it belongs to the whole family because everyone is in the same field. People in the same field is deeply connected to one another. When one family member is identified as the problem maker, good news is, this is the family field trying to alert the whole family that something needs to change. The solution actually lies not in singling out the problematic member and trying to correct them, but recognizing the problem is actually an important growth aspect for the family. The wisdom in the family's field is trying to communicate with the family through the problematic member to alert them that there is a missing piece, and the 'problem' is trying to return the missing piece to the family.

For example, parents struggling with an unruly child. As the parents are guided to make contact with the unruly energy, they discovered a zesty, spontaneity that was missing in the household. It is as if the family field is expressing itself through the child, trying to guide the family to embrace a livelier aspect of themselves which they have lost touch with. When the parents take on a more zest and spontaneity in themselves, the child's unruly behaviour ceases, and the family finds a new joy and energy in how they relate together.
