Every client arrives with parts that protect, hide, resist, or struggle to be heard.

Over 300 therapists. 4 days. One shared space of depth, support, and professional hope. 💛🇺🇦🛳️

We have just completed four days of introductory training in Resource Therapy, and it was genuinely incredible.

Chris Paulin and I were with you throughout, teaching Resource Therapy as advanced parts work that is practical, structured, and alive in real sessions. Not abstract theory. Real clinical decision making, real interventions, real humanity.

What we worked with together
Traumatic experience and chronic stress
Anxiety, loss, and internal conflict
Dissociation, shame, and emotional exhaustion
Psychosomatic symptoms and professional burnout
And what is so often left out of the frame, how to restore inner contact, integrity, and living resource

We heard again and again that what landed most strongly was the combination of depth and clarity, plus the feeling of connection even in a large group.

It was about more than learning
The ship and crew metaphor that makes parts work easy to understand
The live group dynamic and the courage in the room
Communication that holds, even in difficult times
A shared sense of steadiness, and a shared sense of hope

A heartfelt thank you to
Olha Serha for exceptional translation that kept the work accurate and sensitive
Ruslana Bondarchuk for organising with care, attention to detail, and constant support
Volodymyr Voloshyn for creating opportunities for Ukrainian professionals to access modern tools and training in a challenging time

And to every participant, thank you. For showing up through anxiety, fatigue, power outages, and uncertainty. Your professionalism, warmth, and commitment to healing was deeply moving.

We are now in conversation about next steps and further training. As soon as details are confirmed, we will share them.

This was about being together.
About resilience.
About resources, within us and between us.

Thank you for being with us. 💛

It’s Wednesday – time for a quick Resource Drop to steady the ship. 🛳️

Right now, choose one crew member (one part / Resource State) to be Captain Of The Moment – just for the next hour.

Pick one:
• Calm Navigator
• Kind First Mate
• Brave Deckhand
• Present Lookout
• Steady Helmsperson

Now ask: What would this crew member do next?

Then anchor it: hand to ❤️ heart + say their name, softly – like you’re inviting them to the helm.
Example: “Calm Navigator.” Long slow breath out

A few next-step options (choose one):
• One breath: slow exhale, drop your shoulders
• One boundary: “Not now – I’ll reply at 3 pm.”
• One body cue: feet on floor, feel the chair, look around the room
• One kind action: water, food, or a 2-minute stretch
• One tiny task: open the doc, write one sentence, send one email

Therapists: use this as a 30–60 second opener to help clients access a resourced state before deeper work.

Clinical Resource Therapy Certification closes Tuesday 27 at 12.00 pm.

Parts work is popular.
Advanced parts work is precise.

Here is the simplest shift Resource Therapy teaches.

When a client walks in distressed, you do not have to guess, or over talk, or chase ten threads.
You ask one clarifying question.

Who is sailing the ship right now

Because the crew member at the wheel determines what help the client needs next.

If it is fear below deck, you stabilise first.
If it is rejection pain below deck, you soothe and repair first.
If it is confusion, disappointment, retro protection, or conflicted states on deck, you choose the next right action with confidence.

That is why Resource Therapy is known as Advanced Parts Work for clinicians.
Clear map. Shared language. Step by step interventions you can use immediately.

If you have been thinking about parts work training, this is more than a course.
It is a clinical pathway that builds skill, confidence, and a recognised qualification in Resource Therapy.

Why certification matters
You are not just collecting ideas. You are building a structured method you can use consistently with clients, across presentations, and over time.

What you gain through certification and qualification
a clear parts work map and shared language
step by step interventions you can apply immediately
stronger clinical decision making in session
more confidence with trauma and attachment work
a framework that reduces looping talk therapy
a credential that reflects your commitment to solid, ethical, evidence informed practice

This is for you if
you already use parts work and want more precision
you feel unsure what to do when clients flood, shut down, or spin
you want a structured model you can explain to clients easily
you want to deepen your trauma informed practice with a repeatable method
you want a meaningful qualification that actually changes your work, not just your CPD folder

This week, Chris and I had the honour of training over 300 Ukrainian therapists in Resource Therapy. 🇺🇦🛳️

Hosted by the Institute of Health Psychology, the room was alive and deeply human. Curious minds, warmth, and a quiet sense of safety.

What we taught today
Resource Therapy helps people understand themselves through internal states, or parts. We often call these Resource States, because each state holds something meaningful, even when it shows up in painful ways.

The ship and crew metaphor
Inside each of us is a ship, and an inner crew.

Some crew members keep the course steady.
Some are tired and carrying too much.
Some are afraid and scanning for danger.
Some still hold old pain, and do everything they can to protect it.

When therapists can meet each crew member with clarity and compassion, people stop fighting themselves. The crew begins to work together again. That is where relief starts.

To our Ukrainian colleagues, thank you for your openness, your courage, and your commitment to healing. We see you. We are with you. 💛

Therapist question
When stress hits, which crew member tends to grab the wheel first?
