2023 IOPT EDUCATION COURSE.


6th International IOPT Congress

14, 15, 16 October 2022

The next IOPT Congress will take place on the above dates, and will be a hybrid (in person and online) event. For full details and to register click here. 

The lectures and live sessions will take place at Englmannstr. 2 in Munich. There will be space for 50 participants. What happens there will be immediately made available on ZOOM.

Places in the Englmannstr. 2 in Munich cannot be booked. Booking is only possible for online-participation.

You can participate online either individually at home, or as a group in private meeting rooms or in the practice centres of IoPT-practitioners. It would be helpful if there is a big screen or a technical device so you can project the live-events in Munich for the group.

We now have a global website for anyone interested in IOPT (Identity Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy). Whether you are already 'IOPT-Informed', or are at the 'IOPT-Interested' stage, you are all welcome to join our global hub website.

This website enables people to be in touch with each other across the world, to come together, share our interests and ideas and learn more about ourselves and IOPT philosophy and therapy. Please join! We welcome you to join the IOPT Movement!    https://ioptinformedsocieties.com/


Welcome to the world of IOPT... to a world in which we can heal trauma, and start to recognise, and avoid, the dynamics of perpetration and victimisation....

If you are new to this work...

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.



 

 

 

Here is a Podcast I did with Business Coach Juliette Lee on the topic of Healing the Trauma of Identity... Here is the link 


Trauma and Identity

My latest book, Trauma and Identity: Identity Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy, Theory and Practice:

In this book I have attempted to draw together in one place all of the important theoretical ideas developed by Franz Ruppert, together with my own reflections and experiences of working as an IOPT Psychotrauma practitioner. 


Becoming Your True Self is on video!

I have done a series of three videos based on this book:

 

Video 1 - Talking about Trauma

Video 2 - Beginnings

Video 3 - Healing Trauma?

"All the trauma in the world comes originally from children trying to adjust to environments that are sometimes crazily impossible for them to understand and manage." 

Trauma and Identity, 2021.


Khalil Gibran
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.


 On the Trauma of Identity and the Trauma of Love:

"As the mother’s psyche is split, so her heart is split also."

(Vivian Broughton - 2021)


Personal statement: I am a psychotrauma practitioner (originally a Gestalt psychotherapist) with over 30 years experience. My passion is working with people where there is the possibility of real, healthy emotional contact, where truth is honoured, and reality takes precedence over illusions.

What is the purpose of Life?

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)
