Männergruppe - IoPT Aufstellungen Abendseminar

In the organizer's words:

Men learn early on to control or hold back emotions. Phrases such as "Men don't cry" often unconsciously shape the way we deal with our own inner experiences. What is there inside, even if it goes unnoticed or is suppressed, often continues to have an effect in the background. Constant pressure to perform, inner restlessness, psychosomatic complaints or strained relationships are often the result of suppressed emotions.

This open-topic self-awareness seminar offers a protected space for men in which emotions are not judged, but are allowed to be there naturally.

A self-encounter according to IoPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Theory according to Prof. Dr. Franz Ruppert) can help you to perceive inner parts of your psyche and connections, to understand yourself better and to develop more awareness and personal responsibility for your decisions.

🌿 First information about the self-awareness seminar

The seminar takes place in Frankfurt am Main and lasts approximately 4 hours (18:00 - 22:00) with a short break in between. Snacks and fruit, coffee, water and tea included in the price.

The focus is on the method of self-encounter (constellation) according to the Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Theory (IoPT) by Prof. Franz Ruppert.

What is an IoPT constellation / self-encounter?

The method of self-encounter has its origins in constellation work, but differs fundamentally from classic family or system constellations. The focus is not on the external system, but on the inner psychological structure of the person.

IoPT assumes that the psyche is divided into different parts as a result of traumatic experiences:

➤ Healthy parts
➤ Survival parts
➤ Injured parts

These parts can become visible in a self-encounter. For this purpose, parts of the psyche are placed in the room by resonance generators that interact with each other.

This can reveal inner connections that often unconsciously shape our feelings, thoughts and actions.

How does a self-encounter work?

➤ You bring in your personal concerns, e.g. a recurring relationship pattern or issues such as self-confidence, money, security or career.

➤ You formulate your concern in one sentence (usually positive, as a goal to be achieved), e.g.
"I want to be loved" or "I want security". Alternatively, choose three relevant words for your request, e.g. "I - relationship - money" or "I - career - decision", "I - self-care - time".

Subsequently, representatives are chosen from the group who stand for individual elements of the sentence or the chosen words and represent inner psychological parts.

➤ They take up their position in the room. They perceive how they stand, how they feel and what is shown internally. Sensations, bodily reactions, movement impulses, thoughts or emotions can emerge.

➤ The dynamic between you and the representative reveals how the inner parts relate to each other.

➤ The facilitator provides a safe framework and supports contact with the inner parts throughout the process.

➤ What emerges can enable a deeper understanding of one's own inner dynamics. Newly gained clarity can open up new perspectives and possibilities for action.

Special features of the men's group

Constellations with individual concerns take place exclusively for men.
The constellations are reserved for men in order to ensure a clear male space. Women can be present as representatives and participate in roles such as mother, sister or former partner, but do not take on any constellations of their own.

The men's group offers the opportunity to approach one's own inner issues in a clear, respectful and protected atmosphere. Each participant remains responsible for himself and decides on the pace and depth of his own self-encounter.

The focus is on understanding inner connections. Emotions or emotional reactions may occur, but are not a must.

A constellation can support you in this,

• better understand yourself and your concerns/issues,
• become more aware of reactions and patterns,
• recognize connections that were previously only diffusely perceptible.

Many people then experience

• more inner clarity or orientation,
• more distance from stressful patterns,
• and a deeper understanding of themselves.

You can either constellate your own concerns or participate as a representative. Both roles enable deep insights, connection and healing experiences.

Typical issues/ concerns that men come with

- Recurring patterns in relationships

- Difficulties in setting or maintaining boundaries

- Allowing closeness vs. keeping distance

- Losing yourself in relationships or withdrawing inwardly

- The feeling of repeatedly taking on similar roles

- Loyalties or imprints from family of origin

- Stuck in certain patterns

- Difficult decisions despite an inner desire for change

- Difficult handling of money or success

- Conflicts between security, freedom and responsibility

- Issues of guilt or shame

- Dependencies or old imprints

- Dissatisfaction at work or the feeling of not being in the right place

- Decision-making during career changes

- Constant pressure to perform or excessive demands

- Recognizing and living your own strengths

- Inner contradictions or conflicting impulses

- Past experiences that influence current behavior

- Difficulty making clear decisions

- The feeling of not being completely with yourself internally
