Super excited to be training the Clinical in September – come join us!

Come rejoin the flock with a resit of Resource Therapy

I am lucky enough to be on the receiving end of a good deal of therapy training in the past wee while. Of course while it is necessary as a psychologist for continuing professional development points I thoroughly enjoy experiencing new concepts and education.

We were down in Blackwood with Gordon and Anna at their Clinical lending a hand and enjoying catching up with them. Plus the bonus of meeting new Resource Therapists.

Maintain the standard with Professional development points

My jetlag has finally remitted – boy it takes a toll some of those days, thank goodness for melatonin. In the USA I had the privilege of doing a Behind Closed Doors Seminar with Michele Weiner Davis a real super hero in marital therapy. What a legend she is and I learnt so much.

I'd redo a good educational workshop in a heartbeat — I’d redo a good educational workshop in a heartbeat

You know I would go back and do a repeat of the training in a heartbeat.

We do learn by repetition and for me mastering the new skills learnt takes loads of practice, trial and error. To be honest I often feel a bit deskilled after after a workshop, as I try and incorporate my understandings into clinical practice.

That is why we offer Clinical Resource Therapy resits. Basically you return and repeat the training. It’s been super helpful to me to do this. Every time I have picked up more and refined the art of Resource Therapy.

So we extend you the same opportunity. If you have attended one of our Clinical training’s or a fellow trainer we offer the workshop resit at 50% of for the second time around and third time around is free. We simply ask for a small contribution for refreshments.

So if you are wavering, why not come and benefit from a repeat. As you know every day we do a live session, these are unique and cannot be replicated. It is in seeing how the therapy works in the live sessions that really has benefited me the most.

Congratulations to our latest Graduates!

Congratulations Advanced Ego State Training Resource therapy Sydney

Please join me in a hearty congratulations to the latest group completing their Foundation Training in Resource Therapy in May. It’s a bit late coming from me sorry. Many happenings here, updates to follow soon.

What an honour and a privilege it was to work with this wonderful group of talented, inspired experienced therapists. We had members from interstate – Western Australia, Queensland and near the border of New South Wales. Not to forget Zia who made it across the Sydney Harbour bridge!

It was a pleasure to have Yvette there for the whole weekend as co facilitator. Chris was able to attend the first day which was super.

I always come away both refreshed and renewed from the Foundation. I am sure it benefits my client work as I came back recharged.

Of course our lovely group are pumped and ready to Resource clients. Even in the two day workshop you learn some of the most advanced techniques we have today in treating trauma.

How will Resource Therapy be beneficial to you and your clients?

Life is a Journey of Learning, Growth and Healing

Ok, I am totally biased with my client experience, so I say wholeheartedly YES! My belief which guides all of us in the healing field, is we do this work in the spirit of providing benefit to our clients. We want assist people in moving out of pain and destructive life patterns. It is a an extremely worthwhile mission. Thank you all for doing your good therapy works. This work is life changing for us and the people we are privileged to see.

It’s not easy getting out of your uni course or counselling training, only to discover what a mixed bag of problems people come to lay at your therapy feet. It can be overwhelming, help is at hand here.

They didn't teach me how to deal with all of this in the psychology — They didn’t teach me how to deal with all of this in the psychology course

Where do you even start as clients roll out a list of issues as long as your arm? I know it can be overwhelming for us as new therapists and those on the job longer too at times.

What Resource Therapy offers you is clear and easy to follow protocols from a client-centred brief solution focused standpoint. It has made my therapy hours a pleasure and taken the pressure right off.

How good would it be to know this client’s issue is related to poor self esteem. Yep, I’ve go this covered, I can deal with that directly using the Resource Therapy actions on rejection.

RT has easily learnt addiction protocols.

Oh so you have panic attacks, they are easily treated, usually in a session we employ the procedure for phobia and fear. It’s exciting watching your clients face light up, hearing a sigh of relief as you tell them anxiety is resolvable.

A clear path to follow on the therapy journey is reassuring for all concerned.

Dealing with depression and seeing small glimmers of hope week to week, with no homework. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder helped by doing here and now work, that addresses the underlying causes.

Resource Therapy (RT) as all therapies have – CBT, DBT, Mindfulness Meditation, Narrative Therapy, Family Therapy and the list goes on, borrows from other traditions.

Resource Therapy has developed out of Ego State Therapy (EST), no secret there,

Your experience is valuable as a therapist

so bears some marked similarities and advances. For those of you trained in EST if you want to update your skills we offer 50% discount to attend in honour of your training.

When I talk to other therapists about RT they say oh it’s just like Voice Dialogue , or it’s Transactional Analysis TA, Family Constellations, Internal Family Systems IFS or CBT Re scripting. Look I know nothing about Voice Dialogue or Family Constellations Therapy, I am sure they have benefits. I have read something on TA and IFS. I am trained CBT Rescripting. Resource Therapy is unique.

It is a bit like saying to the EMDR practitioner “EMDR is just EFT”

EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing has long used Ego State interventions. Please read the amazing work of Jim Knipe PhD., Carole Forgash PhD., Ana Gomez PhD., Maggie Phillips PhD. and Dr Claire Frederick’s, Robin Shapiro Phd., to name a few.

These type of trauma informed therapies like Resource Therapy and all I have mentioned here are so valuable. Learn as much as you can.

Life long learning helps our brains stay healthy

Moving into a depth of work which feels inspiring and rewarding as a therapist. Do you use EMDR, Ego State, Emmerson’s advanced Ego State aka – Resource Therapy, or another mentioned.
