As we step into the fresh canvas of 2024, January almost over, who can believe it?
We, Philipa and Chris, extend our warmest greetings to each of you in our Resource Therapy community. The journey we’ve embarked upon together in understanding and harnessing the power of Resource Therapy has been nothing short of remarkable. As we continue to grow and evolve, both personally and professionally, we want to share our vision for this promising year.
Embracing Change with Courage and Curiosity
Change is the only constant, and 2024 is a year to embrace it with open arms. In our work as therapists and trainers, we’ve witnessed firsthand how change, though daunting, can lead to incredible growth and transformation. We encourage you to approach this year with courage and curiosity. Let’s challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones, whether it’s in trying new therapy techniques, exploring different aspects of our personalities, or simply being more open to the unexpected twists and turns of life.
Deepening Our Understanding of the Self
Resource Therapy, founded by Professor Gordon Emmerson, offers a unique window into the many parts of our personality. This year, we aim to delve deeper into understanding these parts in ourselves and our clients. The journey of self-discovery is endless and endlessly fascinating. Let’s make 2024 a year when we prioritise this exploration, bringing us closer to our truest selves and enhancing our ability to assist others in their journeys.
Expanding Our Reach and Impact
Our vision for 2024 includes expanding the reach of Resource Therapy. We believe in the transformative power of this therapy and are committed to making it more accessible to therapists and clients worldwide.
Through online and in-person training, retreats, and workshops, we aim to equip more professionals with the tools they need to help their clients navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, and more. Let’s work together to foster a global community of healing and support.
Save the date as we head into our first Resource Therapy International Official meeting for the year, we can let you know there’s a world congress being planned. Save the date mid year 2025. Watch this space.
Nurturing Balance and Wellness
As we continue to navigate the complexities of our work, it’s crucial to maintain a sense of harmony in our lives. This year, let’s commit to nurturing our well-being, both physically and emotionally. Whether it’s through practices like yoga and Argentine Tango, as we enjoy, or any other form of self-care that resonates with you, remember that taking care of yourself is paramount. A well-balanced therapist is more effective and can provide a safe and nurturing space for clients.
Celebrating Each Step Forward
Every small step in our journey is worth celebrating. Whether it’s a breakthrough with a client, mastering a new aspect of Resource Therapy, or simply finding more joy in our daily work, let’s take the time to acknowledge and celebrate these moments. They are the milestones that mark our progress and fuel our passion for what we do.
As we embark on this new year together, let’s hold onto the spirit of collaboration, learning, and growth. Here’s to a transformative and fulfilling 2024 for all of us in the Resource Therapy community!
With warmth and encouragement, Philipa and Chris
