I've had the pleasure of witnessing the remarkable work of Marta Thorsheim in IoPT, 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.

It made a lot of sense when you shared yesterday that we mentally stay stuck at the age when trauma occurs. I feel deeply grateful.

A good and safe place with great people
Helen, 47
I find it deeply beautiful how powerful and delicate it is to connect with your true self through a "you", when another person resonates with your "self".
Anna
What sets IoPT apart from all other therapy methods, in my view, is its focus on the core of a human individual as a psychobiological unit, expressed through the words "I" and "want" in the intention statement. I have not seen any other methods pay attention to these fundamental functions of human life and existence.
IoPT Student and Researcher
Thank you for not telling me to think positively or to pull myself together.
Kåre, 49
The latest research presented in a clear and accessible way, combined with practical hands-on work and exceptional teaching methods.

Thank you so much for an inspiring weekend. My expectations were high, and they were fully met and then some. You lead with such wisdom and a steady hand, Marta, making everything feel so safe and supportive.

In 45 years, no therapist or doctor has helped me as effectively as Marta Thorsheim.
