Goal

The objective of the program is that the participants shall reach a deeper understanding of Professor Ruppert`s groundbreaking theories and concepts on Identity development and how trauma does affect it. This refers to
the development of our I and our will and all other psychic structures including the growth of our body. It will also be trained on how to work with the split personality structures induced by trauma. The key method is
called Self Encounter by my Intention.

Theory

The training is based on Professor Ruppert's theoretical framework, Identity-oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT)

Over the past 30 years, Professor Ruppert has dedicated himself to understanding the human psyche and the impact that psychological trauma has on individuals and their relationships with others.

Based on established theories and his own research, and through many therapy sessions with women and men, both in individual and group situations, he has developed a theoretical framework that he calls Identity oriented Psychotraumatheory
(IoPT). This framework consists of several theoretical building blocks and one practical method: the human psyche, identity, love, sexuality, the perpetrator-victim dynamic, and the intention method.

During the modules, we will take a deep and close look at the structure of the human psyche. Together, we will gain new insight into how a lost, healthy self can be re-established, and how we can connect emotionally with our healthy
free will to improve our own lives and the lives of those we work with professionally.

Methodology

The method we use to apply the insights and goals of identity-oriented trauma therapy is called Self-Encounter with your intention. This means that anyone wanting to work therapeutically on themselves
first thinks about their intention: What do I want to get out of this? What is my goal? What would I like to look at more closely? What are the next steps in my personal growth?

When the intention is clear, the client is asked to write it on a whiteboard or a flip-chart. The intention is now visible to everyone and serves as the foundation for the upcoming self-encounter process. The person who is
going to work on herself selects participants from the group to resonate with different parts of the intention—first non-verbally, and then by asking them about their experiences one by one. Step by step, the underlying
themes of their trauma history emerge and can be guided toward healing. This allows for lasting, positive change in both mind and body.

The Intention Method can also be used in individual sessions with just you and your therapist.
