How RT complements trauma therapy, EMDR, and parts-based work
-
Resource Therapy (RT) is a trauma-informed, parts-based therapy developed by Professor Gordon Emmerson. It is based on the understanding that our personality is made up of many parts called Resource States. Each state has its own feelings, memories, and ways of coping.
Sometimes, a Resource State becomes stuck in pain or locked into an old coping role. This can show up emotionally as fear, rejection, disappointment, or confusion, or in antisocial behaviours, addictions, or inner conflict between otherwise healthy parts.
RT is experiential, respectful, and works beautifully alongside therapies such as EMDR and attachment-informed approaches.
RT offers 15 precise therapeutic “Actions” that allow us to:
Speak directly with the part holding the problem
Help it express and release old pain
Bring in new resources and adaptive ways of coping
Restore balance and integration in the whole system
-
Gordon Emmerson is the founder of Resource Therapy. On 22 October 2025, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal found that he had engaged in professional misconduct and disqualified him from applying for registration as a psychologist for 18 months from the date of its order. The Tribunal’s findings are set out in its published decision, Psychology Board of Australia v Emmerson (Review and Regulation) [2025] VCAT 933.
I have included this information so prospective participants can consider it before deciding whether to enrol.
I continue to value Resource Therapy as a therapeutic approach. I remain committed to teaching it in accordance with my own professional obligations and trauma-informed practice, with client wellbeing at the centre.

Why train with me?
An energetic, neuroaffirming and inclusive approach that translates complex theory into practical, accessible skills.
I create learning spaces that are safe, collaborative and respectful of neurodivergent and diverse ways of being. As an EMDR consultant, I draw on shared concepts between RT and EMDR while keeping the training accessible to therapists from any modality.
Giving back
5% of all training profits are donated to The Iceberg Foundation, a mental health charity by and for LGBTIQAP+ and neurodivergent communities, providing low- and no-cost, identity-affirming support.
