Marta Thorsheim’s Module One will be presented in Los Angeles. Participants will then be able to continue with the remaining modules in Oslo as well as continuing to train in Los Angeles through the Institute.

Theoretical framework

The program builds on professor Ruppert’s theoretical framework of an Identity Oriented Psycho-trauma Theory – IoPT. Based on established trauma theories and his own research, as well as extensive therapeutic experience with clients, both individually and in group settings, Prof. Franz Ruppert developed the theoretical framework within Identity-oriented psychotrauma theory and therapy: IoPT. This framework is based on five theoretical foundations and one practical method:

The Human Psyche: well-being, stress and trauma
Identity and the Trauma of Identity
The Trauma of Love and the Trauma of Sexuality
The Perpetrator-Victim-Dynamic in relations
The Intention Method and the Resonance Technique

The method by which we implement the insights and objectives of the identity-oriented Psycho trauma therapy, is called Self Encounter with the sentence or picture of intention, which means the following: A person who wants to work therapeutically on him- or herself - first considers his/hers intention: What do I want to achieve through this work? What is my goal? What would I like to look at more closely? What is the next steps in my therapy?.
