It is immensely satisfying to watch a therapist transition through stages. They go from thinking, “I think I know what’s happening” to confidently saying, “I know exactly what to do next”.

That’s why we’re so looking forward to beginning our 2026 Clinical Resource Therapy Program. We are super excited to share this amazing parts work model

Most of the mental health professionals who join us are already skilled. They care deeply. They’ve trained in solid modalities – EMDR, CBT, IFS, NLP, Drs and clinical hypnotherapists.

Yet they still meet the same stuck points that don’t respond to insight alone.

A client understands the issue, but their nervous system does not shift. Old patterns play out.
They promise themselves they will do it differently, then something takes over.
They go blank, get flooded, appease, withdraw, numb, or erupt, and afterwards feel ashamed and confused. They feel blocked and stuck

Resource Therapy gives you a clean way to work with this moment without patronising it.

In RT, personality is organised in Resource States, or parts. These parts are not “problems to remove”. They are intelligent adaptations shaped by relationship, environment, and lived experience. When a protective part takes the wheel of our ship, it is usually trying to keep the system safe using the best strategy it has.

The clinical question becomes simple and powerful:
Which part is here right now? What is it protecting, supporting, and what does it need so the person can regain steadiness and choice?

So What will you learn in our Clinical Resource Therapy Program?

This training is built for real-world practice, not just conceptual understanding.

Across the program, you will learn to:

  • map the client’s internal organisation using Resource States with clarity and speed
  • Recognise and respond to common RT patterns, including Vaded in Fear, Vaded in Rejection, Vaded in Disappointment, Vaded in Confusion, Retro Avoiding patterns, and Conflicted States and how these terms map onto depression, anxiety, phobias, addictions, grief, chronic pain and much more.
  • Use the 15 Resource Therapy Treatment Actions as a structured decision framework in-session
  • Work actively while staying trauma-informed, paced, and attachment sensitive
  • Integrate RT with what you already do in your unique way, including EMDR, DBR, CBT, schema, psychodynamic work, and couples modalities

Why we’re excited to begin

Because when therapists have a reliable map and a sequence of actions, sessions change.

You stop chasing content.
You stop negotiating with symptoms.
You start making direct contact with the state that is driving the moment, and the client feels it.

The work becomes calmer, kinder, and more precise. Clients often experience a quiet but profound shift: they feel met.

Not managed. Not pushed. Met.

Therapists learn best when their nervous systems feel safe. This evidence-informed approach to training blends neuroscience, psychology, and paradise. Discover why Resource Therapy’s 2026 Bali Hybrid Program offers the ideal balance of learning, restoration, and community.

When therapists learn in a calm, sensory-rich environment, something extraordinary happens.

Our brains — and our hearts — open.

As trauma-informed practitioners, we know regulation is the foundation for transformation. Yet many CPD programs are delivered in cold rooms under fluorescent lights, with little time to breathe. The result? Cognitive overload instead of embodied learning.

🌿 The Science Behind Learning in Safety

Neuroscience shows that a regulated nervous system enhances neuroplasticity.
When we feel safe, the prefrontal cortex re-engages, memory consolidates, and creativity rises. Perfect for parts work!

In other words, we don’t just hear new information – we wire it in.

That’s why the 2026 Bali Clinical Resource Therapy Hybrid Training was designed as an immersive retreat rather than a standard classroom course.
It blends online foundations for cognitive understanding with in-person experiential mastery in the lush, grounding landscape of Ubud.

Therapist takeaway: The calmer your own nervous system, the deeper your client’s work becomes.

🧠 Clinical Precision Meets Human Connection

This program restores therapists while they learn. It’s both evidence-informed and neuropsychological, grounded in trauma, memory, and state theory research — yet deeply human and relational. Discover the power of parts work for yourself.

  • Evidence-informed & strength-based: rooted in decades of psychological science.
  • Hybrid design: two online blocks (Feb & Mar 2026) plus a 10-day Bali intensive (June 2026).
  • 60 CPD hours: accredited professional development that feels like self-care.

You’ll learn to diagnose and treat Conflicted, Retro, and Vaded States, apply memory reconsolidation principles, and see how RT fits into many other models despite being a stand alone therapy. Perfectly suited for EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapists, professionally certified Coaches, DBR, IFS, and somatic mental health clinicians — all while reconnecting with your own calm centre.

🌴 Why Bali Works

Environment matters.

Ubud’s rhythm naturally supports reflection and restoration. Therapists consistently tell us they return home clearer, calmer, and more clinically confident. With the bonus of the Yoga Barn and beautiful restaurants and cafes only minutes away. Bali Bliss!
The tropical environment isn’t a luxury — it’s an essential part of the learning process.

“It was the most nourishing CPD I’ve ever done.” — Social Worker, Perth

At the Evitel Resort, Ubud, your nervous system gets to exhale while your professional skills expand. This immersion for professional development and tax break offers a genuine reset.

Therapist takeaway: When you feel restored, your clients feel safer with you.
