Multigenerational psychotraumatology

His project to develop a multi-generational psychotraumatology started in 2002 and has resulted in seven books in German. His therapeutic method, Resonance Process with Intention Statement, is today an independent trauma therapeutic method.

In this book, he focuses on the earliest life experiences, and on the fact that when we are born, we have already lived about nine months. The fact that the unborn are sentient, feeling and recognizing beings is not as widely known, otherwise we would probably relate differently to this nascent life.

What unborn and young children experience affects them throughout their lives. Good and loving experiences lay the foundation for a stable personality. But experiences that are stressful or traumatizing can lead to lifelong negative imprinting.

Ruppert's main concept here is the love trauma, which includes the early time in our life. Here he emphasizes that psychotherapy must embrace both our own lived life from conception, together with the experiences of our parents and grandparents, also including the earliest phase of life.

His co-authors generously share their own therapeutic experiences and show how both implicit memories from pre-linguistic times and inherited emotions can be brought to light and integrated through the therapeutic work with the Resonance Process with Intention method.
