The Intention Method

The Intention Method · 13. April 2018

considering your intention

The intention method

The Intention Method (Identity-oriented Psychotrauma Therapy, developed by Professor Franz Ruppert) This article is one I have wanted to write for a while, and I was finally prompted into action by correspondence with Marta Thorsheim of the Norway Institute for Traumatology, and her correspondence with Kathleen Man Gyllenhaal, the producer of the film In Utero, and a blog that Kathleen started with the Huffington Post called Why It’s Time to Stop Attacking Moms.

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 late 2020.

Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran, The Prophet


"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)
