Dr. Gabor Maté
I've had the pleasure of witnessing the remarkable work of Marta Thorsheim in loPT, and to experience personally the impact of this modality with her.
In one session I was guided to the very core issue in my life, in a deeper way than I had experienced before. It made an immediate difference in my life.
I highly recommend Marta's IoPT course to everyone.

Research, project assignments and feedback from students in Advanced Training
With trauma therapy IoPT you get the opportunity to get back to yourself.
What do our students say - and how do they convey their understanding of IoPT - both theory and method?
On the resource page you will find several assignments from this year's graduating students with headings such as "Does physical and psychological treatment really work?" as well as feedback from the students.
Good and safe place, with good people
Helen, 47
The latest research presented simply and clearly, combined with your own practical work, super pedagogy.
Ole, 54
It made a lot of sense when you told me yesterday that we are mentally stuck at an age when trauma happens. I feel great gratitude.

Thank you, thank you for not telling me to think positively or pull myself together.
Kåre, 49
For me, what distinguishes IoPT from all other therapy methods is its orientation towards the core of a human being's life as a psychobiological entity, manifested in the words "I" and "will" in the intention sentence. I have not seen any other methods interested in these primal functions of human life and being.
Student IoPT and researcher
In 45 years, no therapist or doctor has helped me as effectively as Marta Thorsheim.
Stephen Gyllenhaal, film director Los Angeles
The power and beauty of getting in touch with one's self through a "you" when another person resonates with one's "I" is something I find particularly beautiful.
Anna
Thank you so much for an exciting weekend, I had great expectations and they were met; and more. You Marta lead with wisdom and a sure hand, everything was so safe and good.
