Understanding Resource Therapy and Its Benefits to You
A person-centred psychotherapy called Resource Therapy focuses on assisting patients in using their internal personality parts known as our ‘Resources’ to overcome obstacles, internal conflict and heal from prior trauma.
RESOURCE THERAPY ADDRESSES CAUSES OF OUR ISSUES, which naturally means symptoms either lessen or disappear. It also creates a new relationship with the past so there may no longer be the same confusion or distress-related experiences.
Resource Therapy allows therapists to respond directly to the precise personality part that holds the problem.
Many therapies speak with an intellectual, talkative, reporting Part that is not directly related to the presenting issue. RT gently guides you on how to speak with the part aka Resource that most needs assistance.
OUR TRAINING PROGRAM IS PRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY USEFUL IN GETTING YOU UP AND RUNNING WITH THESE TECHNIQUES.
Resource therapy is a trauma-informed, strength-based brief psycho-dynamic Parts therapy. Professor Gordon Emmerson PhD. has developed this model after many years of using Ego State Therapy. He has pioneered newer techniques and a unique model of Parts, States, or ‘Resources’.
Creator Professor Gordon Emmerson PhD, founder of Resource Therapy International, the peak professional body of Resource Therapy worldwide.
The Resource Therapy Institute of Australia provides training and support for psychologists using this approach in their practice. Philipa Thornton is proud to hold the position of President of Resource Therapy International, appointed by Gordon Emmerson Ph.D.

What other therapists who’ve attended say:
Resource Therapy Clinical Program participant Kim says:
While undergoing my EMDR level 1 training, I became aware of the importance of Parts work, particularly when assisting clients with complex presentations like those who have experienced complex or cumulative trauma. To enhance my skills further, I completed many CPD trainings in Parts work therapy such as structural dissociation theory, ego state therapy, and also some basic training in IFS ( Internal Family Systems.)
While these trainings were beneficial, I felt they lacked a comprehensive approach to Parts therapy, and I still felt that something was missing, prompting me to search online and engage with therapist Facebook groups. It was through Philipa’s recommendation that I became intrigued with Resource therapy, and further research led me to an enlightening podcast interview between Gordon Emmerson and Mike Mandel.

Convinced of its potential, I contacted Philipa and promptly enrolled in the 10-day combo clinical training. What I particularly appreciate about this training is its provision of protocols and resources that enable immediate application. Following the completion of the Foundation Training, I was able to start working with clients and apply some of the tools provided.
The interactive nature of the training aids in consolidating learning, and the invaluable complimentary supervision that follows ensures ongoing support. Both Philipa and Chris, the trainers, are exceptional and down-to-earth, clearly demonstrating their expertise in Resource therapy.

There’s a wonderful energy about Philipa’s teaching, the lessons are practical, elegantly simple, and I’ve been able to immediately apply Resource Therapy techniques to great effect. Demonstrations, practice, illustrations, have all made this a dynamic, and even fun, learning experience. Highly recommended.
