Join the Parts Therapy Revolution: Celebrating Success and Looking to the Future

Psychologist Philipa and the wonderful North American Imago Relationship Therapists in Las Vegas for their annual conference.

Greetings from Sydney via the City of Lights! Las Vegas, known for its vibrant nightlife and glittering skyline, recently added a dash of psychological depth to its repertoire as it hosted the North American Imago Relationship Therapy Conference. It was an event marked not only by illuminating insights into relationship therapy but also by the joy of personal connections—proof that the spirit of camaraderie transcends all boundaries.

A Conference to Remember

As the buzz of slot machines faded into the background, and still no gambling on this my second visit to Sin City. There was a different kind of excitement built up as Imago Therapists from across the continent gathered, eager to share and learn from each other’s experiences. It was a melting pot of innovation, with the latest in therapeutic techniques being discussed with enthusiasm.

It was certainly an honour meeting Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt Imago Therapy founders of Imago Relationship Therapy. Another highlight was connecting with Gene Shelly our Imago Clinical instructor and meeting Australian, NZ, and new American Imago friends.

Amongst the grandeur, the most meaningful moments were arguably the more personal—like meeting Cindy and Evonne – who trained with us at the Resource Therapy Institute online in the last couple of years.

The Power of Resource Therapy

Cindy, a passionate mental health social worker from Las Vegas, became our first Advanced Clinical Resource Therapist and Trainer in the USA 2020—a remarkable milestone. And Evonne W from St. Louis, who now proudly holds the title of Clinical Resource Therapist, reminded us of the incredible journey from learning to mastery.

Seeing these dedicated professionals and handing them their certificates as President of Resource Therapy International was profoundly moving. Their dedication over the years, transitioning from online modules to real-world applications, exemplifies the dedication and potential of Resource Therapy to change lives.

Bringing It All Together

Our interactions in Vegas went beyond professional courtesies; they were an embodiment of shared goals and aspirations. The warmth and hospitality extended by the new faces we met, now friends, were nothing short of heartwarming. These moments solidified the notion that while we may start as colleagues, we often end up as part of a larger, global family, united in purpose and passion.

#ResourceTherapy is heart centred and healing therapy @ResourceTherapy

At the Resource Therapy Institute Australia we are dedicated to Professor Gordon Emmerson’s vision of sharing this healing heart centred therapy he has pioneered.

Those how know me, know I am not being one to blow my own trumpet, I am also Vice President of Resource Therapy International and Chris Paulin is Clinical Training Director. We have been helping Gordon and Anna run the annual Bali training since it began.

It has been a real honor to be offered the opportunity by Gordon and Anna to keep the Resource Therapy training workshops running in UBUD Bali.

Bali Resource Therapy Workshop group


We plan to make it an annual event, so every year around June/July you will find great fun and fabulous trauma informed parts therapy in a tropical paradise. Next year let us know if you’d like an opportunity to practice your training skills by running a day. Or perhaps you have a specialty Resource Therapy skill you’d like to offer as a specialist workshop. There is a thought of NLP and its applications with Resource Therapy. Please send me an email.

Here is the Ubud training on offer here https://resourcetherapy.com.au/bali/

The awesome thing is you get to learn while in a heavenly space, with lovely hotels and divine food. Happy to make recommendations! Just ask me for our local favourites.


Sometimes due to kids, work or life commitments an overseas trip for learning isn’t possible. This is why we offer training in Sydney. https://resourcetherapy.com.au/resource-therapy-foundation-training-online-philipa-thornton-sydney/

This course is especially relevant to those who have completed their Clinical training is the Advanced Clinical Train the Trainer. Perhaps you did the training a while ago and like me took up some of the ideas but needed some more input on how to implement Parts Therapy into your practice. Or you found it useful with clients you used it with but felt as if you were missing some vital parts. You know safety is paramount in working as a trauma informed Resource Therapist and wanted to learn more on this. The Advanced Clinical & Train the Trainer is the answer.

This is a five day review of the Clinical and dive down further into using Resource Therapy with conditions like ADHD, Psychosis, Complex PTSD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and Pain Management. All totally applicable to psychologists, social workers, therapists and all other emotional healers out there.
