Welcome!

Over the next few months I am doing a series of seven online lecture presentations the thinking and theory of IOPT. These presentations are for anyone interested in understanding more about trauma and identity, whether an IOPT practitioner or student, or whether a therapist of another discipline, or just for your own personal interest.

The lectures are being organised by Christine Wong of System of the Heart in Singapore. To find out more click here. PLEASE NOTE, PRICES ARE IN SINGAPORE DOLLARS.

You can join one of the Online Working Sessions days with an Attendance Place, and watch what happens. It is up to you how much you take part, and it is fine if you just watch the processes and see how the Intention Method works. If you have any questions you can contact me.

Who am I in a Traumatised & Traumatising Society? - Franz Ruppert... Out Now!

Franz's latest book is part personal account, and part an update of his theoretical thinking particularly as it relates to our society.

Identity-oriented Psychotrauma Therapyn (IoPT), the development of Professor Dr Franz Ruppert over the last 25 years, is established now as a new way of thinking about trauma, its influence in our individual lives, and now, in this book, looking at the influence of trauma on our societies as a whole.

Khalil Gibran

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

To live a good life, and to come to know who I really am.

"There are so many people in the world who have a good amount of 'healthy I'; it's just that they also have unresolved trauma and slide so easily into their survival strategies and ruin it all for themselves." (Vivian)
