Resource Mapping

Personal Development with Resource Therapy

Understanding and working with the different parts of ourselves — known in Resource Therapy as “resources” — can be incredibly empowering for personal growth and emotional wellbeing.

Each resource holds a specific role, emotion, or belief. By becoming familiar with these inner parts, we gain greater self-awareness and the ability to respond to life more consciously and effectively.

Benefits of Knowing Your Resource States

When we connect with our internal resources, we can:

• Safely explore and heal emotional experiences from childhood, no matter our age

• Fully experience and express love

• Become assertive when it's appropriate

• Express anger in healthy, constructive ways

• Speak confidently and clearly

• Handle criticism without taking it personally

• Access logic and clarity when it's needed

• Enjoy and express our playful or social sides

• Improve overall emotional balance — which often leads to better physical health

How Do We Discover Our Resource States?

Through a process called Resource Mapping, we begin to identify and understand the parts of ourselves that regularly come to the surface — and those that may be operating in the background.

While it’s unlikely we’ll ever map all of our internal resources, even a single session can uncover 5 to 15 core states. These may include the everyday “surface states” that show up regularly in our thoughts, feelings, or behaviour.

Becoming familiar with these parts can be incredibly enriching — allowing us to better understand our reactions, build inner harmony, and navigate life with more ease.

Below is a simple example of a resource map showing how different internal parts relate to one another.
