What Is Resource Therapy?

Resource Therapy is a powerful and dynamic approach that helps you reconnect with your inner strengths - so you can feel more empowered, calm, and in harmony with yourself.

Unlike talk therapies like CBT or mindfulness-based approaches, Resource Therapy works on the understanding that our personality is made up of many parts, or “resources.” Each part holds different roles, emotions, and beliefs - and sometimes, they can be in conflict.

Here’s the key insight:

The part of you that shows up to therapy isn’t always the part that needs support.

For example, the part that feels anxious or keeps reaching for sugary snacks isn’t usually the one asking for help - it’s the part that wants to feel calm or craves better health that books the session. You’ve probably felt that inner tug-of-war before - like when one part of you says, “I should go for a walk,” and another quickly replies, “Nah, let’s just stay on the couch.”

Resource Therapy allows us to identify and work directly with the part of you that needs change - not just talk about it. As a trained Resource Therapist, I guide this process gently and respectfully, helping each part feel seen, heard, and better integrated.

By going straight to the source, Resource Therapy can lead to faster, deeper, and longer-lasting change - especially for issues that feel stuck or have been hard to shift with other methods.

Resource Therapy was developed by Professor Gordon Emmerson as a clinical evolution of Ego State Therapy, drawing on principles from cognitive psychology, hypnosis, and decades of client experience. It offers a powerful yet straightforward approach to healing that goes directly to the parts of the mind that need attention.
