Interview by Pedro Lechuga-Farias

I was interviewed yesterday (April 2020) by a young man, a psychologist from The Hague called Pedro Lechuga-Farias, as part of his research into different healing methods. It is quite a personal interview, but it may be of interest to some people as he asks good, penetrating questions about IOPT.

Interview on The Trauma of Love

This interview took place in Singapore in August 2019.

Interview with Vivian

This interview by Christine Foong Wong of Singapore is some years old now... but perhaps still interesting. I certainly look younger!

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, Who Am I? - Trauma & Identity, due out late 2020)

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

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.

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)
