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.

Clinical Resource Therapy Certification early bird now closes Tuesday 27 at 12.00 pm.

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?
