Trauma informed training – Resource Therapy

Want to Discover the Power of Parts Therapy?

Wonderful. You can with Resource Therapy’s powerful personality parts model. With RT you have a structure to guide you gently and compassionately in working with our parts, or as we call them in Resource Therapy (RT) our Resources. The name Resource tells us our ‘parts’ are there to help us live our fullest life. Sometimes our Resources get stuck in the trauma time. This past holds old protective behaviors like withdrawal, rage, and unprocessed emotional reactions – anxiety, feeling unlovable, not good enough, and terror to name a few of our client’s challenges and lived experiences.

RT teaches us how to engage with and work with the part holding distress or overwhelm, with a kindness and attachment focussed approach. Dealing with the root cause of our historical disturbance creates both a new reality for the present and the past. Long-standing issues appear to resolve with rapid lasting results.

If you are a therapist who wishes to assist your clients past their stuck emotions and facilitate a sense of integration, Resource Therapy is for you.

We have the two-day introductory course – the Foundation Program, followed by the eight-day Clinical where we learn all the key actions for therapeutic change and results. Many Clinical Resource Therapists then choose to do the Advanced Clinical and Train the Trainer five-day program. Completing the highest level of Resource Therapy. Chris and I are so pleased to be amongst a select few with the skills and training experience to offer this premier workshop.

Less Than 24 Hours to Go!

It is finally (almost) starting!

The NLP Masters Summit is going to go LIVE On October 27th and I cannot wait for it to start!

On the 26th there will be the Opening Session and you really should attend it!

You will have an amazing opportunity not only to learn more about Neuro Linguistic Programming but also about the human mind and psyche!

Resource Therapy is a complete therapy encompassing a theory of personality and therapy. Although designed as a standalone model, naturally it will fit in easily with your existing therapy toolkit.

This year there will be over 30+ excellent speakers and I am honored to be one of them!

So why is a Resource Therapist presenting at this conference you might ask?

I don’t want you to miss out on this valuable therapy and what it can do for your clients. Eugen originally asked me to present at the Hypnosis Summit, however, I was too busy. Gordon Emmerson presented Resource Therapy there last year – so I knew I was in good company sharing RT with this community.

Watch out for the next NLP Master Summit coming up! The Calendar is finally here and it’s full of great presentations from all your favorite experts.

Forensic Scientist Leads the Way in Child Protection

Potential trigger warning for those of us or have loved ones who have been victimized. Self care please.

I am compelled to share the amazing Sue Black’s presentation on using science to capture child abusers. Both saddening, maddening, and hopeful the first five minutes sums up what many young people have experienced. The injustice of an unholy kind with the initial hurt and further revictimization through the criminal justice system.

With strong scientific evidence, a jury did not convict a paedophile. Unbelievable. The possible reason given the survivor was not expressing emotion and crying in the courtroom.

So what gives?

Psychology, knows people with trauma will have a myriad of responses for our survival. These are hard-wired into our nervous systems and beyond conscious control in the main.

Basically, we are all animals and will respond to threats to our safety with the fight, flight, freeze or responses. Ever seen a cat or predator animal chasing prey? Mice will play dead – known as tonic immobility. This is actually a case of overwhelm, exactly what the teenager may have been experiencing. Parts of us take over to survive.

Someone who is petrified ( even the word gives us a clue) will become numb and shut down as a natural safety response. We freeze, we can’t cry or move as our body’s defense system takes over.

Fight is often not a possibility for our young people given the sheer size differences. Besides if it’s happening in your bedroom where can you run to? Let’s not forget the children are expected in many cultures to listen and obey adults without question.

The sad fact is the perpetrator is most likely known to the child. Forget stranger danger it’s a complete myth as the statistics tell us in black and white. This unholy crime happens while we are in the care of those who should care and protect us from harm. Yes it is counterintuitive and I think that’s why we are in a sort of community denial around child abuse.

The survivor may have told someone, they may not have been believed. Mind you it is never the child’s responsibility to share. Little people do not have the cognitive development required and later on believe that because it’s in their past, what’s the point?

Listen to the first five minutes. I have had many clients tell with those who should protect and get no response or worse still side with the perpetrator and shun the victim. I suspect intergenerational trauma is often at play.

I despaired hearing the court outcome with this young woman’s bravery. Sadly I have heard similar experiences in my many years as a therapist. In Resource Therapy we empower and heal rather than explore for details.

Modern technology may provide an answer, as Sue share “stop the theft of childhood.” Take care of our precious children, keep them safe. Believe them and love them.

Let’s stop only looking at the victim and turn our gaze onto the predators in our midst for prevention.
