Day 1: Self-administered Resource Therapy Techniques for self and for clients
This workshop provides an overview of self-administered Resource Therapy techniques that can be utilized both by individuals seeking self-improvement and by therapists to empower their clients. We will explore techniques designed for independent use that can be integrated into a therapist's toolbox for client empowerment.
These techniques encompass self-guided interventions for emotional management, cognitive restructuring, and enhancing self-compassion, resilience, and personal growth. The applicability of self-administered Resource Therapy techniques for clients is also discussed, emphasizing how therapists can introduce and guide their clients in using these strategies as part of their therapeutic journey. This approach offers clients greater autonomy and control over their emotional and psychological well-being.
Furthermore, this workshop touches upon the importance of therapist self-care and self-administered Resource Therapy techniques as tools for maintaining a therapist's emotional resilience and well-being. Therapists can benefit from these techniques to manage the challenges of their profession effectively.
Self-administered Resource Therapy techniques are valuable resources that can be employed both by individuals seeking personal growth and by therapists to support their clients' self-improvement. These techniques enhance self-regulation, self-awareness, and self-empowerment, providing opportunities for individuals to cultivate emotional resilience and well-being in their lives.
Day 2: Working with unwanted voices and feelings of being blocked
This workshop provides an overview of the application of Resource Therapy (RT) techniques to address the challenges associated with unwanted voices and feelings of being blocked.
Unwanted voices, often associated with intrusive or critical thoughts, can impede personal progress, and can present barriers to emotional well-being. We will learn how to diagnose unwanted voices as either Resource States that are trying to protect the client, or as Other Personalised Introjects (OPIs).
We will learn techniques to help clients with Resource State voices to establish a constructive dialogue, to understand their origins, and transform them into sources of self-awareness and self-regulation.
Clients who experience OPIs often see them as intrusive and foreign, and these clients may be misdiagnosed with psychosis. This can lead to inappropriate pharmaceutical intervention or institutionalization. Following a respectful RT negotiation, clients most often report these voices are no longer present.
In addition, this workshop addresses the application of RT for dealing with feelings of being blocked. It explores methods for identifying the underlying causes of these feelings and for implementing resourceful interventions to overcome them. RT assists individuals to reframe states that had been blocking so they can provide useful information in decision making.
Therapists employing RT can create a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore and work with unwanted voices and feelings of being blocked, fostering personal growth and emotional well-being.
