When seasoned trauma therapist Angela O., an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and EMDR practitioner, completed her Clinical Resource Therapy training, she never imagined the profound shift it would bring—not just to her clients but also to herself.
“As a trauma therapist, I have ventured through a myriad of therapeutic approaches—including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Schema Therapy. Yet none have been as transformative as Resource Therapy.”
Angela’s words speak to something many of us in the helping professions know too well: even the best-known trauma therapies can fall short when a client’s inner world remains fragmented, their parts unseen or unheard. That is where Resource Therapy steps in.
“Resource Therapy profoundly honours the lived experiences of clients, fostering a sacred space where all facets of their being are not only acknowledged but celebrated.”
In one powerful example, Angela shares how just three sessions of Resource Therapy helped a client find her voice after years of being silenced.
“For the first time in her life, she was able to articulate her needs to the person who had long disempowered her. We uncovered her core needs and dismantled the trauma script that kept her stuck in a cycle of pain.”
Angela now integrates Resource Therapy seamlessly into her trauma work—and often uses it as a stand-alone intervention with elegant, client-led results.
“It beautifully complements other therapeutic modalities, but as a stand-alone approach, it shines. I am a devoted advocate for its benefits.”
She also speaks from the heart about the clinical training experience:
“I cannot express enough gratitude to Philipa and Chris for their generous support, and to Professor Gordon Emmerson, the visionary founder. Their authenticity and vast expertise create an inspiring and powerful learning environment.”
With warmth, professionalism, and deep conviction, Angela offers this endorsement to her peers:
“I wholeheartedly recommend Resource Therapy to any therapist or client eager to connect with those often elusive parts of themselves—those fundamental aspects that shape our identities and the meanings we assign to our lives.”
