Hello everyone, apologies for the delay in getting this replay out to you. Have had some health struggles but am now free and clear with most of it. Thankfully!
My wonderful video editor said he was captured by Bill’s talk so much he watched on fascinated.
We hope you will be too.
Bill shares his Resource Therapy adventures and I love his innovative use of the body in the Empowerment protocol. I am adding it to my teaching of RT. Clients have told me how this enhanced their sense of safety and connection with themselves.

As we know from the research, in Australia the Blue Knot Foundation, in the US the ACE studies trauma can be passed from generation to generation. Trigger warning this post deals with themes of trauma and abuse.
Life patterns of pain and abuse replicate and can repeat throughout our family systems. Rather like a faulty software program, that has a bug in code writing, in this case our very DNA.
We unwittingly select someone who has the traits of those who have been unjust, exerted power, and control possibly even hurt us.
It’s almost as if the brain recognizes these familiar ( if unhealthy) attractions.
We partner up with someone who is abusive as don’t recognize the red flags of unhealthy behavior.
Our clients ignore these signposts, instead focussing on the charismatic parts of their partner. Noting how they are sorry, and remorseful after each episode of anger. Only to have it repeat.
Our fight, flight, freeze or fawn adapted parts come to the fore. Limiting our ability to respond effectively.
Working with victims of crime, and years ago, with the health department in drug and alcohol services, this is what I saw and see many of my clients experiencing.
I’d imagine you might too. More so if like me, you are a couples therapist.
This can be a challenging pattern to break, trauma bonds tightly held. Yet it is possible to do.
Resource Therapy has several techniques which achieve a disconnection from these life stories of harm and hurt.
We need to have a tool kit that is able to release the repetitions and legacies of painful pasts.
I have developedthe Inter-generational Bridge. Repairing past ruptures in our historical timelines for our future generations healing.
Allowing neural connections and possibly changing our DNA, unwinding the genetic code.
It would be great to share this with you. While I love to be inclusive, as this is a specialty master class for mental health professionals.

This question was posed by a supervisee. it’s not that uncommon, you may have even heard your own clients voice something similar, without any actual suicidal intention. We can have parts that are stuck in negative habits conducting unwanted ways of being and behaving. Retro States are the term we give for those Parts of us acting out in unhelpful and outdated protective ways.
Resource Therapy offers new ways to work with depression, overthinking and other unwanted behaviours
I popped up a quick video down below as to what we recommend to both address and resolve Retro States. In Resource Therapy we learn a specialist technique called Retro State negotiation where we directly access the part. By working and mediating with this part we re purpose it’s role. As Resource Therapy ( RT) is a strength based system for empowerment we hold the belief all our parts are there for a reason. Our Resources are there to help.
Retro’s are a one trick pony. in their playbook we would see unhelpful behaviors – Overthinking, Addictions, Smoking , Gambling, Eating issues and the like. Applying RT Action 10 Retro State Negotiation we parley with this part and simply find it a new way to achieve it’s helping purpose and work for collaboration. This truly fosters inner peace as we appreciate and acknowledge all our parts are working for our best potential.
A client said during the RT State negotiation process he saw in his minds eye a lock and a key. So amazing.
Resource Therapy Promotes team work and resolves inner conflict resulting in harmony
Naturally we devote a day in the Clinical training. You learn the art of RT Negotiation. Here’s the training page for details https://resourcetherapy.com.au/resource-therapy-foundation-training-online-philipa-thornton-sydney/ This work must be preceded by clearing any underlying emotional issues – Vaded States to be truly effective. Again this is covered in depth in the Resource Therapy Clinical workshop.
That is if it is a ‘Part’ that is making the ‘kill yourself’ suggestion. Sometimes other things like an Other Personalised Identity (OPI) can be at play. A Retro State is a part of the person. It’s become habitual, like a broken record. Obviously this is not an actively suicidal part – you will take other steps for safety in that case.
With RT Action 10 we acknowledge and appreciate the Part who’s making this statement. We get a name for it that’s based on it’s higher purpose. We then offer an opportunity for this part to help in a new or lesser role.

Taneisha RTIA’s mascot. RIP loved and remembered with joy.
On a sad note, here is Taneisha she would be on my lap writing the blog. What a lovely girl. Very sad. Chris, Yvette and I are sad. Mourning the loss of a beautiful being. My lovely Taneisha, she would wait outside my therapy room sending her love in. When clients came out she brought them joy. She was a master clinician of love. An angel of goodness. Thanks for the blessing of being in our lives. Tearfully Philipa xox
