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.

Please Note...

I have now split the education & learning (training) events to another website: www.iopt-practitioner-events.com

On the Trauma of Identity and the Trauma of Love:

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

(From my forthcoming book, Trauma & Identity due out mid 2021)

Personal statement: I am a psychotrauma therapist (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. For more about me click here.

"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."

Taken from my next book, due out mid 2021.

"Be in love with your life. Every minute of it." Jack Kerouac.

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)
