Intention constellations – the path out of the trauma biography
Foreword by Marta Thorsheim
What do we do when the body says no and develops symptoms that neither doctors nor psychologists can help with?
In this book, Professor Franz Ruppert, Dr. Hans Banzhaf, and other professionals explain how a piece of life history lies behind every physical symptom. Using various examples, they show that seemingly inexplicable physical problems may be caused by unresolved painful experiences from early life. The explanation is that such early trauma can cause a severe split between body and mind with major consequences. The authors explain how this happens and show how healing comes through a process where what has been divided can become whole again.
Franz Ruppert's self-developed form of therapy, which he calls Psychotrauma Therapy with IoPT, can uncover what lies behind physical symptoms. This is how lasting relief becomes possible. This knowledge is both simple and revolutionary at the same time. However, as long as we fail to consider the entire human organism when people seek help for their ailments, we pay a high price, both as a society and as individuals.
As a form of therapy, IoPT is rooted in a deep and research-based theory. That early childhood hurts can lead to illness in adulthood is nothing new, but this book presents in a thorough and easy-to-understand way the research and theory explaining why this happens and what can be done. Many people do not consciously remember what happened during the most vulnerable years of early childhood.
The reason may be that a trauma has been pushed out of conscious awareness. This happens when reality is too difficult to accept, when one simply cannot cope with it. Then our body's defense mechanisms take over, and the memories are repressed. But they do not disappear. The body remembers what happened, and in time, these experiences become visible as pain or anxiety. Many diagnoses that have become very common today, such as ADHD and symptoms like burnout, become understandable with this knowledge.
As long as people are trapped in their trauma history, they live under intense inner pressure. Over time, this leads to numerous physical symptoms and illnesses. It might be cardiovascular problems, musculoskeletal pain, teeth grinding at night, digestive issues, or a weakened immune system. Eventually, the body reaches its limit.
This book is an important contribution to preventing things from reaching a point where the body has to shut itself off from the world in this way. The book shows how anyone who wants to understand and take their health into their own hands can do so. Memories can be brought to the surface through the method presented in the book. Then what you need to know will emerge during the process, and healing can begin.
