Next online IoPT Café Monday June 23rd 2025

Warm welcome in the online IoPT Café. This initiative is started to offer a place where we can meet each other and where we can learn something more about IoPT or IoPT-related topics. It is a place where we can share thoughts, where we can be curious and learn something more about healing from trauma and eventually learn something more about ourselves. It is also a place where you can bring your friends with you who are also interested in IoPT and in healing from trauma.

It is my deepest wish to offer a place where you can engage just as much or as little as feels right for you and where you have an opportunity to connect and get inspired.

In the next online IoPT Café meeting Geir Dale will give a presentation on the topic ‘Conflict dynamics and IoPT group facilitation: What may be hiding in the details of communication, and how can we make it healthy (again?)‘.

Geir Dale, is an IoPT Psychotrauma Therapist (member of the Norwegian Trauma Therapist Association), Gestalt Therapist and Political Scientist. Geir has specialized himself in resolving psychological trauma, conflicts and strains. He has over 22 years of experience as a psychotherapist and got since 2008 interested in the work of Franz Ruppert.

In his presentation Geir will share his understanding about conflict dynamics and IoPT group facilitation and he will dive deeper into the question ‘what may be hiding in the details of communication, and how can we make it healthy (again)?

On his website Geir shares: “The starting point for conflict management is the belief that everyone in the company wants to thrive with their colleagues, and everyone needs psychological safety to succeed in learning and developing. Conflicts are resolved by all colleagues together learning new, more appropriate forms of interaction and communication, and developing to take full responsibility for themselves in the work community. I have 25 years of experience working with conflict management in public and private enterprises in Norway and internationally. I take my point of departure in psychologist Jan Atle Andersen’s method (see his book “Folk manners and custom at work”)”.

This meeting is scheduled on Monday, June 23rd, 2025, from 3 pm CEST/Amsterdam time to 5 pm CEST. The zoom room opens at 2.50 pm CEST.
