- My body my trauma my I
- Theory and Practical work - Symptoms of trauma also can be expressed in our body and produce many symptoms of discomfort like pain in different parts of our body, inflammation, chronic diseases, reduced resistance against infections or insomnia. If we ignore this trauma background as a consequence, we spend much energy and time to deal with these symptoms and make many attempts to make them vanish. So, it could be a reasonable strategy to ask the question, which trauma might still be active hidden in our psyche and starting to explore our biography in more depth. Traumawork in combination with other body-oriented treatments then could have the best results. Everyone is welcomed to participate in a lottery for Working with your Intention, an intention that includes your symptom. The person who is going to get the Self Encounter by Franz, is free to choose resonators from the audience.

- Truth, Trust and Balance in the IoPT Process – Foundation of Practice
- Theory and Practical work - Vivian Broughton is interested in understanding the ‘foundations of practice’, what is necessary for good practice as an IoPT practitioner. These three words, ‘truth’, ‘trust’ and ‘balance’ are one way of looking at the foundation stones of good practice. During my presentation I will talk briefly about these three words, what they mean to us, and how we can consciously bring them into our work. I will also facilitate a process with a volunteer and hopefully find a way of reflecting on the process after it is finished with reference to these three words. I am a Gestalt psychotherapist since 1989, having focused on Franz Ruppert's work since 2004. Currently my interest is in understanding and sharing ideas of good practice as an IoPT practitioner, and of living a good life as the ultimate signifier of trauma healing. As an IoPT practitioner, I am keen to explore what truly forms the bedrock of effective practice. In my view, the concepts of ‘truth’, ‘trust’, and ‘balance’ serve as essential cornerstones. These three principles underpin not only our professional work but also the overall quality of support we offer our clients. In my upcoming presentation, I will delve into the significance of these three guiding values—examining what they mean for us as practitioners and how we can intentionally integrate them into our therapeutic work. I will also facilitate a practical session with a volunteer, after which we will reflect together on the process, using ‘truth’, ‘trust’, and ‘balance’ as lenses for deeper understanding. With a background as a Gestalt psychotherapist since 1989 and a dedicated focus on Franz Ruppert’s work since 2004, my passion now lies in investigating and sharing what constitutes good practice for IoPT practitioners. Ultimately, I believe that living a fulfilling life is the greatest testament to the healing of trauma. Everyone is welcomed to participate in a lottery for Working with your Intention, an intention that includes your symptom. The person who is going to get the Self Encounter by Vivian, is free to choose resonators from the audience.

Participants will be guided through the study design, therapeutic protocol, and main outcomes, with a particular focus on clinically meaningful changes observed in dissociation, alexithymia, emotional regulation, depressive and anxiety symptoms, anger processing, and quality of life following IOPT groups. The presentation will also address the exploratory findings related to immunological markers, discussing their clinical relevance, limitations, and implications for future research. Known for her work: "The influence of identity-oriented psychotrauma therapy on Hashimoto disease activity" (European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2025).
