Perth In-Person Training Dates Announced

Super excited to share the Executive Director of Western Australia’s Anita Fourie and her team of amazing therapists’ latest training workshops.

Dr Anita Fourie (Executive Director of Resource Therapy – Western Australia) and Ronelle Olivier (Clinical Resource Therapy Trainer) founded RESOURCE THERAPY WA to advance, promote and facilitate the Clinical Resource Therapy training course in Western Australia

IN-PERSON TRAINING IN PERTH

Resource Therapy is a trauma-informed, structured Parts Therapy model with its foundations in Ego State Therapy. Its focus is working with personality parts that are vaded, confused, conflicted and /or stuck. The model works to address the core causes of the client’s presenting concerns, which naturally means symptoms either lessen or disappear. It also aims to resolve and reframe the internal and external relationship with past events so there may no longer be the same confusion or distress-related association with past experiences.

Resource Therapy allows therapists to respond directly to the precise personality part that holds the problem. Many therapies speak with an intellectual, talkative, reporter part that is not directly related to the presenting issue.

Professor Gordon Emmerson pioneered this brief strength-based parts therapy.

THIS COURSE IS PRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY USEFUL IN GETTING YOU UP AND RUNNING WITH THESE TECHNIQUES.

Dr. Anita Fourie and Ronelle Olivier have over 20 years of Ego State and Resource Therapy national and international training and experience and will be your presenters of this training.

The Secret Recipe in Therapy?

When Betty Crocker (brand name) first started selling instant cake mixes – all you had to do was add water. They failed miserably.

They changed the recipe. When bakers added an egg and oil to the mix – success!

People wanted to feel like they were cooking, and just adding water wasn’t enough. There’s nothing like feeling actively involved in the baking process.

It’s the same with Therapy. Your input is valued and crucial to your clients.

Resource Therapy’s protocols guide you through the steps you take for changing results. It’s a team effort as you collaborate with your clients for results.

Without your compassion, your learning, your ethics, and care in using this recipe it runs the this of being an instant cake, not a precision laser tool.

Good therapy is an art.

You are the active ingredient.

15 Steps to Actual Change

As you know I am passionate about Resource Therapy (RT). One of the things that speak to me is the support of the 15 Treatment Actions. When I first studied Ego State Therapy and to be honest looking at Internal Family System it lacked the structure needed to follow it.

I didn’t have a rationale for why I was doing an intervention or step or what was the step best suited to the client’s goals and objectives.

Talk about clueless. Stumbling around in the dark produced some mixed results to say the least.

Once Professor Gordon Emmerson recognized the need for careful and strategic steps, grounded in his theory of personality things a light bulb went off in my head. Therapy sessions became so much clearer, easier and dare I say it more seamless for my clients.

The 15 Resource Therapy Actions guide and inform the roadmap for change in supporting our clients to reach their objectives. We don’t have to be robot therapists, you supply your creativity. This framework allows just the right amount of structure with flexibility.

Here are the 15 Treatment Actions of Resource Therapy.

1. Diagnosis of Resource Issue

2. Vivify Specific

3. Bridging

4. Expression

5. Introject Speak

6. Removal

7. Relief

8. Find Resource

9. Changing Chairs Introject Action

10. Retro State Negotiation

11. Conflicted State Negotiation

12. Imagery Check

13. Resistance Alliancing

14. The Separation Sieve

15. Anchoring

In the Foundation Program, you will learn the key steps to resolving big emotions like fear and rejection which hold clients back with the Empowerment Protocol. How to work with those parts at war on the inside, tapping into our higher self with loving compassion and much more. Hurry Early bird finishing soon
