Tag: Resourcing Clients

Have you ever felt like certain struggles—such as low self-worth, persistent anxiety, or unhealthy behaviours—keep showing up no matter how much you try to push through?

You’re not alone. Many people find themselves stuck in emotional patterns that seem resistant to change, spiralling into self-criticism, rinse, and repeat.

This is where Resource Therapy, a unique and powerful form of parts therapy, a.k.a Advanced Ego State Therapy, offers hope.

Resource Therapy works with the understanding that within each of us are various personality parts that play different roles in our lives.

Sometimes, these parts become burdened by unresolved experiences, leading to unwanted behaviours or overwhelming emotions.

Resource Therapy provides a pathway to clarity, healing, and profound emotional freedom by working directly with the parts holding the distress.

Why Do Unresolved Behaviours and Emotions Persist?

Unresolved behaviours or emotional issues often stem from parts of ourselves stuck in past experiences. For example, a part of you may still hold the shame of a childhood criticism or the fear from a traumatic relationship.

While these parts may have originally formed to protect you, they can sometimes act in ways that are no longer helpful, like avoiding challenges, engaging in self-criticism, or sabotaging success.

Rather than viewing these struggles as a fixed part of your personality, Resource Therapy honours these parts as “resources” that are simply trying to fulfil a need.

However, when unresolved, they can drive patterns like:

• Chronic self-doubt or low self-worth
• Overwhelming anxiety or panic
• Emotional avoidance or disconnection
• Unhealthy habits and impulsive behaviours

Diagnosing the Root Cause with Resource Therapy

The beauty of Resource Therapy lies in its precision. Unlike approaches that explore issues in a generalised way, Resource Therapy is focused and diagnostic. Through the therapy process, therapists are trained to identify which part of a person is experiencing the unresolved emotion or behaviour and when it became stuck.

This approach allows therapists to pinpoint the exact root cause rather than merely treating symptoms. For example:

• A part feeling “unworthy” may be linked to an incident of neglect or abandonment in childhood.
• A part driving perfectionism may have developed as a way to be seen, or avoid criticism or failure.

By giving these parts a safe space to be heard, seen, and validated therapists can guide clients to reprocess and resolve the underlying pain. The part is transformed, adopting healthier roles and allowing the person to feel more whole, balanced, and confident. In line with their goals and values.

Moving Towards Healing

For those struggling with challenges, (let’s face it – many of us,) Resource Therapy is empowering because it acknowledges that each part of us has a positive intention, even if its actions have become unhelpful.

We seek to understand the good purpose and assist the state to have other options or resolve past emotional pain.

This brief psychodynamic-oriented psychotherapy facilitates healing without judgement, offering a deep and often lasting release of stuck emotions and outdated patterns. Imagine shedding years of self-doubt or anxiety, finally feeling at peace within yourself, and reclaiming the confidence to live fully and authentically.

Resource Therapy doesn’t just provide insight; it offers internal transformation and connection from within. Yay to our inner support team of our ‘Resources.’

If you’ve been wrestling with emotional blocks or unwanted behaviours, consider exploring Resource Therapy. By directly engaging with the parts that hold your unresolved struggles, you can unlock the healing and self-worth that already exist within you.
