Interview by Prem Lovemore

Two Interviews with Natalie Walther

Two interviews with Natalie Walther done in 2023.

Here is a podcast on the topic of Healing The Trauma of Identity, done by Juliette Lee with me.

Interview by Pedro Lechuga-Farias

I was interviewed in April 2020 by a young man, a psychologist from The Hague called Pedro Lechuga-Farias, as part of his research into different healing methods. It is quite a personal interview, but it may be of interest to some people as he asks good, penetrating questions about IOPT.

"I'm the enemy of the unlived, meaningless life"

(Bob Dylan, False Prophet)

Dissociation is the separation from reality. Because reality in the moment is too unbearable, we separate ourselves from it.

Association is being in reality as it is, now.

On the Trauma of Identity and the Trauma of Love:

"As the mother’s psyche is split, so her heart is split also."

(Vivian Broughton - 2021)

Personal statement: I am a psychotrauma practitioner (originally a Gestalt psychotherapist) with over 30 years experience. My passion is working with people where there is the possibility of real, healthy emotional contact, where truth is honoured, and reality takes precedence over illusions.

What is the purpose of Life?

To live a good life, and to come to know who I really am.

"There are so many people in the world who have a good amount of 'healthy I'; it's just that they also have unresolved trauma and slide so easily into their survival strategies and ruin it all for themselves." (Vivian)
