Argentine expert in constellations consulted on Netflix hit 'Another Self.'

Argentine specialist Ángeles Wolder, a writer and expert in biological decoding, has participated as an official consultant for "Mi otra yo" (Another Self), a popular Turkish drama series on Netflix that delves into family relationships. The series, which first aired in 2022, has gained significant traction and recently debuted its third season, quickly climbing the ranks of most-watched shows in Argentina.

The proposal came when Nuran and Tuba came to participate in a retreat we were organizing from the Ángeles Wolder Institute. There they learned how we work with biological decoding, family constellations, trauma, childhood wounds, and other therapeutic tools. They really liked the specific way of working and thought it was appropriate for me to accompany the advisory both from the script and later on the set.

Wolder, who leads the Ángeles Wolder Institute in Spain, collaborated with the series' creator and screenwriter, Nuran Evren Şit. Her role involved guiding the development of characters and scenes focused on therapeutic processes. Notably, one of Wolder's books, "El arte de escuchar el cuerpo" (The Art of Listening to the Body), is featured within the series as part of the protagonist Ada's learning journey.

The collaboration came about unexpectedly when Şit and actress Tuba Büyüküstün attended a retreat organized by Wolder's institute in Spain. They were impressed by the institute's approach to biological decoding, family constellations, and addressing childhood trauma. This led to the proposal for Wolder to provide script and on-set consultation.

What the team was looking for was to broaden the perspective, to move away from focusing only on the process of a family constellation and incorporate a whole therapeutic journey. They wanted to show how a person can take responsibility for their own process and transfer that learning to daily life.

Wolder explained that the series aimed to broaden the scope beyond just family constellations, incorporating a comprehensive therapeutic journey. The goal was to illustrate how individuals can take responsibility for their personal growth and integrate these learnings into their daily lives. Wolder's involvement included contributing ideas for characters and meticulously reviewing scripts to ensure the accurate portrayal of therapeutic processes, as well as being present on set to guarantee the authenticity of the scenes.

Our part consisted first of contributing ideas about the characters and thinking about what could be happening to them for them to react in a certain way. Then we reviewed the scripts word for word so that they would reflect as faithfully as possible what happens during a therapeutic process.
