🧠 What Makes Resource Therapy Different?
Unlike traditional talk therapies that circle the issue, Resource Therapy speaks directly to the part that holds the pain—and offers real relief. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify parts of the personality (like the Inner Critic, Protector or Abandoned Child)
- Access them safely and respectfully
- Have a clear Roadmap of tailored techniques to guide you
- Empower the healthy adult Parts to lead with wisdom and compassion
💬 “My clients say, ‘This is the first time I’ve ever felt truly seen.’ That’s the power of Resource Therapy.”
— Dr. Amelia, Counsellor and EMDR Therapist
