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.
Presentation by Franz Ruppert
“A new way of working with IoPT”
Franz Ruppert is the founder of the Identity oriented Psychotrauma Theory, IoPT. Franz developed his traumatheory over 30 years of intensive studying, observing and finding out what the impact of traumatic experiences in early childhood is on the human psyche and how to heal from these experiences. Franz developed his theory around Identity, where Identity is defined as ‘everything I have experienced from the moment of my conception’. If we experience a traumatic event in our (very) early childhood, we need to split of this experience, the pain and the trauma-feelings in order to survive, to stay alive. This means that this experience, the pain and the feelings are unkown to us, they are unconsious and hidden in our psyche. We then do not fully know who we truly are because a part/parts of us are hidden in our unconsiousness. With the support of IoPT, with the Intention method, we can come into contact with split off parts of ourself and gentle, in our own pacing and timing, re-connect and come to understand more about ourself, about who we truly are.
Franz will give a presentation on the topic “A new style of working with IoPT” Since about a year or so, Franz is facilitating self-encounters in a new style of working, also know as ‘style II’. Style I refers to working with a maximum of three elements from the intention. The new way of working, Style II, refers to finding out what part may be hidden under the intention and coming into contact with this part. In his presentation Franz will go more in depth about this new style of working.
