February 15-16 2020 - Marta Thorsheim will be giving her second workshop in Los Angeles

“Who am I in a Traumatized Society? Victim-perpetrator Dynamics and the Way Out” Workshop & Lecture with Marta Thorsheim, director and founder of the Institute for Traumawork, Norway.

2 Days with Scandinavia's renowned IoPT Therapist and Trainer, Marta Thorsheim.

For the past 25 years Marta Thorsheim has met with clients and workshop participants, to support the enhancements of the healthy aspects of their psychological dynamics, recognizing survival mechanisms and meeting traumatized parts with compassion and love.

Marta Thorsheim is also co-writer of Dr. Ruppert's previous book, Early Trauma.

All of their books will be available at the workshop.

2/15/20-2/16/20

Marta’s focus will be on starting to relieve the pain from which so many of us suffer, as well as coming to experience and understand the cause of this pain and the cause of their joy.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

The Intention Method is based on established theories as well as on Dr. Ruppert’s own research and over twenty-seven years of therapeutic sessions with clients, both in individual and group situations. This framework emanates from two theoretical building blocks and one practical method: The human psyche, Identity, love, sexuality, the perpetrator-victim-dynamic and the Intention Method.

Working in this way Dr. Ruppert and Marta Thorsheim have come to understand that we can only look to ourselves for substantial change. The I must be the central focus. But what is I? How does it develop? What is blocking I development? What enhances it? And how does trauma (and the consequent pain) or bonding (and the consequent growth) affect it?

How can we live in intimate relationships and in greater social unities, in constructive forms of love and stay healthy? Why is the development of a healthy Identity so difficult? What impact do traumatic life experiences have on this? What impact does healthy early bonding have? How do the trauma of love and other early trauma dynamics form and split our identity? And what options are available to overcome the splits that are hidden deep within our psyche?
