Why the World Is Turning to Parts Work & Why Resource Therapy Is Leading the Way

The future of trauma therapy is parts-based. This week in Bali, the 2025 Resource Therapy International World Conference shows us exactly why.

As President of Resource Therapy International and co-organiser of this landmark global event, I am thrilled to be immersed in four days of clinical excellence, experiential learning and professional connection with fellow psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors, counsellors, trauma therapists, EMDR practitioners, neurodiversity specialists and coaches.

From Australia to Indonesia, Europe to North America, this conference is a living celebration of how Resource Therapy is reshaping the way we support healing at the root. It is therapy that works with the parts of the personality that carry emotional pain, defence strategies and inner strengths.

Why Parts Work Matters Now More Than Ever

Modern clinicians are waking up to a simple truth. You cannot talk a traumatised part into feeling safe.

Clients with complex trauma, betrayal wounds, identity fragmentation or chronic anxiety often hold wounded or stuck Resource States beneath conscious awareness. These parts need more than insight. They need to be heard, seen and healed.

That is the power of Resource Therapy.

It is a dynamic, strengths-based and neuropsychologically grounded model that helps therapists:

Map the exact Resource State in need of attention
Work directly with parts holding fear, shame, rejection, confusion or guilt
Use 15 targeted therapy Actions to resolve the emotional roots of distress
Support integration, even in complex cases, including Dissociative Identity Disorder
Build clinical confidence with a clear yet flexible framework

Whether you are a trauma specialist, couples therapist, coach, or just beginning your parts work journey – Resource Therapy gives you practical, respectful and transformational tools.

Inside the 2025 World Conference in Bali

This week, therapists from around the world are diving into cutting-edge parts work applications including:

Case presentations with DID clients using the RT diagnostic map
Affair recovery through parts-based couples work
Coaching and behavioural change with Resource States
Working with neurodivergent clients using strengths-focused parts interventions
Attachment repair and memory reconsolidation using RT
Live demos and experiential workshops of the 15 RT Actions

And we are learning directly from Professor Gordon Emmerson, the founder of Resource Therapy, whose clarity and compassion continue to light the way for our global community.

What Makes Resource Therapy Different?

Unlike many other parts-based models, Resource Therapy:

It is brief and targeted, often reducing treatment time
Uses precise language (no talk of exiles or managers – just Resource States)
Offers 15 specific therapeutic Actions for real change
Works in individual, couple, family and group formats
Integrates seamlessly with EMDR, somatic work and attachment therapy

It is ideal for trauma recovery, self-esteem building, resolving inner conflict, improving relationships, and performance coaching.

Why Resource Therapy Changed My Practice: A Clinician’s Testimonial

ClinicalResourceTherapyTrainingGraduateTestimonial

When seasoned trauma therapist Angela O., an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and EMDR practitioner, completed her Clinical Resource Therapy training, she never imagined the profound shift it would bring—not just to her clients but also to herself.

“As a trauma therapist, I have ventured through a myriad of therapeutic approaches—including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Schema Therapy. Yet none have been as transformative as Resource Therapy.”

Angela’s words speak to something many of us in the helping professions know too well: even the best-known trauma therapies can fall short when a client’s inner world remains fragmented, their parts unseen or unheard. That is where Resource Therapy steps in.

“Resource Therapy profoundly honours the lived experiences of clients, fostering a sacred space where all facets of their being are not only acknowledged but celebrated.”

In one powerful example, Angela shares how just three sessions of Resource Therapy helped a client find her voice after years of being silenced.

“For the first time in her life, she was able to articulate her needs to the person who had long disempowered her. We uncovered her core needs and dismantled the trauma script that kept her stuck in a cycle of pain.”

Angela now integrates Resource Therapy seamlessly into her trauma work—and often uses it as a stand-alone intervention with elegant, client-led results.

“It beautifully complements other therapeutic modalities, but as a stand-alone approach, it shines. I am a devoted advocate for its benefits.”

She also speaks from the heart about the clinical training experience:

“I cannot express enough gratitude to Philipa and Chris for their generous support, and to Professor Gordon Emmerson, the visionary founder. Their authenticity and vast expertise create an inspiring and powerful learning environment.”

With warmth, professionalism, and deep conviction, Angela offers this endorsement to her peers:

“I wholeheartedly recommend Resource Therapy to any therapist or client eager to connect with those often elusive parts of themselves—those fundamental aspects that shape our identities and the meanings we assign to our lives.”

Beyond talk therapy: Why Parts-Based Interventions are Essential for Results

Meet your Inner Crew Your Resources all valued

Mental health issues and awareness are surging, with therapists like you leading the change – thank you! You did not stumble into this profession by chance, you were called to it.

You chose a vocation rooted in meaning, healing, and the deep privilege of helping people transform their lives. Likewise, you are amazing.

Across the Australia, NZ, USA and Europe, Parts Therapies are generating significant buzz, and for good reason. This is not just a passing trend. The therapeutic world is recognising that working with the internal personality parts, especially those holding pain, protection or conflict – unlocks powerful healing outcomes.

As a dedicated therapist, you have already invested countless hours mastering models such as client-centred therapy, ACT, EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness. Yet even with a full toolkit, there are moments when clients get stuck, when progress stalls, or when resistance dominates the room.

This is where Resource Therapy (RT) can make all the difference.

Developed by Professor Gordon Emmerson, Resource Therapy is an advanced, clinically structured parts-based model that builds on the best of Ego State Therapy. It offers a clear, step-by-step protocol to directly access and work with the precise part of the personality that holds the issue.

RT’s 15 Treatment Actions give you a roadmap – no guesswork, no vague metaphors – just practical, client led targeted interventions that help clients shift long-standing emotional and behavioural patterns.

What Makes RT Unique? Unlike other Parts-based therapies, Resource Therapy:

Works at the root cause of psychological distress
Provides a roadmap for change with clear clinical steps
It is designed for brief, effective interventions
Empowers the client by validating all inner parts
Integrates seamlessly with trauma-informed practices

Picture yourself confidently guiding clients through transformative breakthroughs. Whether it is childhood trauma, inner critic patterns, or self-sabotage, Resource Therapy provides clarity and direction. You will not only understand what to do, but also why it works, grounded in neuropsychological insights and therapeutic experience.
