✨ Giving Space This Week ✨

As schools settle back in and routines begin to take shape again, this week is a reminder that everyone is adjusting — often more on the inside than we see on the outside.

Parents and carers, holding logistics and big feelings, while trying to stay regulated and connected.
Children, finding their feet in new classrooms, new expectations, and new relationships.

Teachers and professionals, bringing intention, care, and emotional energy into each day.

From a DDP lens, transitions invite us to lead with PACE — Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy.
To slow things down.
To stay curious rather than reactive.
To offer connection before correction.

Let’s give a little extra space and grace — to others, and to ourselves. Transitions can be tender, even when they’re familiar.

Here’s to gentle check-ins, shared regulation, and trusting that with safety and connection, we’ll all find our way back in our own time. 💛

✨ Commencing 2026 – Limited Availability ✨

At Resource Yourself, we offer therapeutic and coaching spaces designed to support individuals and families navigating complexity, change, and life transitions. As we move into 2026, we have a small number of spaces available.

🌿 Our areas of practice include:

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)
An attachment-focused, relational therapy supporting children and families impacted by developmental trauma. DDP creates a safe and supportive space for emotional connection, healing, and repair between caregivers and children.
This approach is particularly supportive for foster care, adoption, reunification, and families experiencing attachment-related challenges.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) & Narrative Therapies
We integrate ACT, EFT and Narrative approaches to support individuals, parents, couples, and families to develop psychological flexibility, strengthen emotional bonds, and reshape the stories that may be holding them stuck. These approaches support meaning-making, emotional safety, and connection while honouring lived experience and identity.

Our work recognises the profound impact early life relationships have on the brain, body, and relational patterns across the lifespan. We support clients to build safety, emotional regulation, and a felt sense of connection and trust. Through strengthening emotional attunement and relational security, we support families and couples to move toward healing, joy, and greater satisfaction in life.

Each therapeutic journey is thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of those we support — whether working with a child and caregiver, parents, couples, or individuals and is always trauma and attachment informed.

📣 Calling all DDP Level 1 & 2 trained Practitioners! 📣
Our 2026Australian DDP Supervision Groups are now underway — and we’d love for you to join us.

These small, reflective groups are designed to deepen your DDP practice, build relational confidence, and keep you anchored in the core principles of DDP and the PACE attitude. It’s a space to share challenges, celebrate the wins, and stay connected to the heart of the work.

We currently have groups running on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with options available for teams seeking tailored supervision for staff who’ve completed Level 1 or 2 training.

✨ Stay nourished, supported, and seen in your practice — because we all do better when we’re held in connection.

📩 Get in touch to express interest or find the right fit for your schedule.

Transitions have a way of making things louder — emotionally and relationally.

As families move back into school and work routines, we’re not just adjusting diaries — we’re asking nervous systems to shift.

More meltdowns. More clinginess. More push-back.
During times of change, behaviour often escalates — not because children are being difficult, but because something inside them is needing support.

And this isn’t just true for children. Transitions are hard for adults too. You may notice less patience, more fatigue, or a sense of being behind before things have even begun. This doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means your nervous system is adjusting as well.

During these moments, children need both hands of parenting.

🤲 One hand offers nurture, empathy and attunement:
“I can see this is hard.”
“It makes sense you’re feeling unsettled.”

✋ The other offers structure, rhythm and reassurance:
“This is the plan.”
“I’ve got you.”

You don’t need to be perfectly regulated to support your child through change — just willing to pause, repair and reconnect.

As your family moves through this transition, gently reflect:
• What feels hardest right now?
• Where is connection most needed?
• What can wait?

There’s no prize for doing transitions perfectly — only for staying connected while moving through them.
Behaviour during transitions is often a request for safety, not defiance.

✨ We’re back ✨

After a much-needed pause to rest, reset, and reconnect, we’re stepping into the new year feeling refreshed, grateful, and ready for what’s ahead.

We’re deeply thankful for the space the break allowed — time with loved ones, slower mornings, reflection, and recharging our nervous systems. These moments matter, especially in the work we do.

As we return, we do so with gratitude for our clients, colleagues, and community who continue to trust us, walk alongside us, and remind us why this work is so meaningful.

Here’s to a new year of connection, growth, courage, and care — for ourselves and for those we support. 💛

We’re glad to be back.

Reflecting on 2025💫💫

As the year draws to a close, Resource Yourself is taking a moment to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for everything 2025 has brought.

This year has been full of connection, learning, and growth. From opening our own clinic space in Caloundra to delivering DDP level 1 in Hobart, PACE in Townsville, Brisbane, Parramatta, Northern NSW and Relational Healing Environments in Wollongong and Cairns, to supporting families, carers, and practitioners, and witnessing knowledge being applied to create real, lasting change — it’s been an incredible year.

We’ve had the privilege of supporting the growth of DDP in Australia and meeting so many inspiring people, sharing insights, and witnessing the power of relational approaches, PACE, and trauma-informed practice in action. Each session, conversation, and “aha” moment has reminded us why this work matters so deeply.

Amid the busyness, we’ve also celebrated the small wins — the moments of connection, curiosity, laughter, and learning. These are the threads that make all the effort meaningful.

As we step into the end of the year, ResourceYourself wants to say thank you:
✨ To the families, carers, and practitioners we’ve worked with — for your openness, courage, and dedication.
✨ To our colleagues and collaborators — for your support, energy, and inspiration.
✨ And to everyone taking care of themselves while caring for others — for showing up and making a difference, day by day.

Here’s to a season of rest, reflection, and replenishment, and to carrying the lessons, connections, and hope of 2025 into a bright and meaningful 2026. 🌿

In DDP, we often say: “Connection creates the conditions for behaviour to change.”

This isn’t about fixing a person, controlling behaviour, or ticking boxes.
It’s about showing up in a way that honours their story, validates their feelings, and nurtures their sense of safety.
It’s about being a reliable presence, even when the moments feel messy, confusing, or challenging.

Small relational moments matter far more than perfect strategies.
A gentle question instead of a demand.
A calm word instead of a correction.
A pause to really see a child instead of rushing to the next task.

Each tiny moment of connection is like a brick in the foundation of trust, safety, and resilience.
Every connection counts. Every moment matters.

When we focus on relationship first, the rest begins to shift naturally.

Human Rights Day 2025 🌍

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, was the first legal document to set out the fundamental human rights to be universally protected. The UDHR, which turns 75 on 10 December 2023, continues to be the foundation of all international human rights law. Its 30 articles provide the principles and building blocks of current and future human rights conventions, treaties and other legal instruments.

Today and every day, we stand for a simple truth: that every person — every child, every family — deserves dignity, safety, respect, and care.

At Resource Yourself, we believe in the power of connection, compassion, and trauma‑informed support to help build lives grounded in human rights — where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

On this day, we honour the rights of children, families, carers, and communities to be treated with humanity, kindness, and care. And we commit to continuing our work in creating spaces of safety, trust, and healing.

Let’s remember: respect, empathy, and compassion aren’t bonus features — they’re fundamental.

07/12/2025

Ever noticed how those “tricky moments” with kids can stop us in our tracks… and yet, they’re often the exact moments where the real connection work begins?

When a child or parent is overwhelmed, shut down, explosive or confused, they’re not giving us a hard time — they’re having a hard time.
And this is where PACE gently shifts the whole experience.

PACE isn’t about being perfect or getting it right every time.
It’s about being present enough to meet a child or parent where they are, not where we wish they were.

✨ Curiosity instead of correction — “I wonder what’s happening for you right now?”
✨ Acceptance instead of frustration — “Your feelings make sense, and I’m here.”
✨ Empathy instead of escalation — “This is hard, and you’re not alone.”

These small relational choices create the safety a child needs to soften, settle and reconnect.

A little PACE truly goes a long way…
In homes.
In classrooms.
In resi’s.
In early childhood settings.
In any space where children need to feel safe in the presence of an adult who “gets” them. ✨

04/12/2025

Parenting isn’t just about guiding a child — it’s about connecting and holding at the same time.

In DDP parenting, we often talk about the Two Hands of Parenting:

1️⃣ The Hand of Nurture, Connection & Attunement — empathy, curiosity, playfulness, and unconditional acceptance.
2️⃣ The Hand of Structure, Discipline & Guidance — safe limits, routines, and boundaries.

When both hands work together, children feel understood, safe to explore, and confident to return.

It’s not always easy — but parenting this way builds relationships that are repair-focused, resilient, and rooted in trust. 💛
