Chris and I had a delightful hour chatting with Evonne as part of the latest Resourceful Therapist YouTube and Podcast. Evonne shared how being a teacher and frustrated parent eventually led to her becoming a therapist and author. Evonne is a born speaker and gave us her take on the what, how and why of Resource Therapy in the last 15 minutes. Enjoy this episode. We are so grateful out our guests.

Celebrated Author & Relationship Therapist on The Resourceful Therapist
Feeling blessed to have the amazing the Evonne Weinhaus from the United States join us for a chat the Resourceful Therapist YouTube Podcast.
Evonne had me inspired from the start when she joined us for our Foundation Program despite time zone challenges.
What a beautiful connection, Evonne is a renowned talk show guest who has been on Oprah, Today, and Good Morning America.
Evonne’s CV is a mile long and includes having trained at the Adler Institute, being a CERTIFIED IMAGO COUPLES RELATIONSHIP Therapist who is an award-winning co-author of “Stop Struggling With Your Teen”, “Stop Struggling With Your Child” (selling over a quarter of a million copies,) and “A New Fearless You”.
Her group therapy practice Sound Mind Therapy offers “to help change the paradigm of counseling away from a medical model of diagnosis to a wellness model incorporating education, empowerment, personal development and – most importantly – building on what is right with you!” Sound Mind Therapy is based in Creve Couer, in Missouri USA. Interestingly where Gordon Emmerson hails from.
She is a delight and fun to be around, with a lived wisdom of experience. Hope you can join us for a chat on The Resourceful Therapist!

Beyond Ego State Therapy
Well, it was certainly interesting to hear Professor Gordon Emmerson’s Ph.D. backstory. Born in Missouri USA Gordon moved to Australia as a young man. We had an international group – Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Gordon shared how Resource Therapy was influenced by Ego State origins. Gordon said after using it for many years, aspects of Ego State therapy did not work for his clients. Hence he developed Resource Therapy (RT) by revisiting the work of Paul Federn.
Having trained in Gordon’s Ego State course just prior to the emergence of RT I could already see these changes. I was overjoyed when the Primer came out. Brilliant to have the RT Action steps and a shortcut guide to work by. We give this out at our Foundation Program the two-day introduction to RT.
For those experienced RTer’s, you will really enjoy Gordon’s explanations to a supervision question on the Retro-Avoiding States. Recall Retro Avoiding parts are those that carry on addictive or repetitive behaviors to avoid Vaded states surfacing out on deck.
