The Process Behind the Change
"Grounded in Science. Guided by Ethics. Designed for You."
“After years of therapy and no real progress, Andrew’s approach cut through the noise. I finally understood what was holding me back. I feel emotionally lighter, more decisive, and more grounded than I have in decades.”
— Daniel K., Creative Professional
RT works, by working directly with the part (Resource) that needs the change and bringing it back to normality. We do this using techniques that show compassion and being respectful to all your parts (Resources).
When the part of you that’s stuck in fear, shame, or confusion takes control, it’s not just emotional—it’s neurological. That part is running on an outdated neural pathway that no longer serves you.
Resource Therapy works by gently bringing that part into awareness, helping it express what it’s been holding onto, clearing the outdated emotional imprint, and reconnecting it to stronger, more empowered neural networks.
"IMAGINE A Classroom in Your Mind”
“Picture your mind as a lively classroom, filled with different parts (Resources) of you—each like a student with their own personality and job. Some parts are calm and focused, ready to lead. Others might still be scared, angry, or stuck in the past, trying to run the show even when it’s not their turn. Resource Therapy is like a wise teacher who steps in, listens to what each part needs, and helps the right one step up to the front of the room—so your life can be led with clarity, calm, and confidence.”
“Imagine your mind is like a big classroom, and inside are all the different parts of you—like little students. There’s a happy part, a scared part, a bossy part, a silly part, and even one that gets really angry when things feel unfair.”
Sometimes, one of those students stands up and tries to take over the whole class—even if it’s not their turn. Maybe the scared one grabs the chalk, or the angry one yells so loud that no one else can talk.
Resource Therapy is like a kind, wise teacher who walks into the room, gently taps the noisy part on the shoulder and says:
“Hey, I know you’re trying to help, but let’s figure out what you really need. And let’s help the right part take the lead now.”
The Clinical Framework Behind Resource Therapy
Resource Therapy is a client-centered, trauma-informed approach that’s deeply aligned with modern neuroscience and ethical psychological practice.
It integrates the best of evidence-backed modalities like EMDR, EFT, and somatic therapies—while offering its own structured and precise framework for emotional healing.
Client-Centered – We work directly with the exact emotional part (or “state”) that needs healing, not around it.
Trauma-Informed – We ask “What happened to you?” instead of “What’s wrong with you?”—ensuring safety, dignity, and respect.
Evidence-Aligned – RT is built on the science of memory reconsolidation—a proven mechanism for deep, lasting change at the neural level.
“Resource Therapy (RT) is a deeply respectful therapy. RT goes directly to the part of us that is in need of help.”It’s an empowering psychotherapy based on the understanding that the personality is composed of parts (Resources).
Professor Gordon Emmerson PhD
How Resource Therapy (RT) Stands Apart from Other Modalities
🔹 How Is Resource Therapy Different?A Clear Look at How It Compares to Other Parts-Based Therapies and EMDR
Not all “parts” therapies are created equal. While Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ego State Therapy, and even EMDR offer powerful insights, many therapists and clients find themselves stuck in understanding—without transformation.At Resource Therapy Queensland, we use RT because it bridges that gap. RT isn’t just about naming a part or gently exploring it. It’s about giving that part a voice, resolving its pain, and creating lasting change—right there in the session.
Let’s break it down:
“RT doesn’t just talk about the issue—it helps your internal system shift in real-time, using structure and compassion.”
Why This Matters to You?
Clients often come to us saying:
“I understand my trauma, but nothing’s changed.”
“I know what I should do, but I can’t make myself do it.”
“I’ve done talk therapy for years—what else is there?”
That’s where RT comes in.
It’s not just therapy—it’s emotional resolution through direct access to the part of you that’s stuck, using techniques grounded in neuroscience and experiential healing.Whether you’ve tried other methods or are new to therapy altogether, RT gives your inner system the map, the tools, and the guide to move forward.

RESOURCE THERAPY & NEUROSCIENCE
Resource States as described by Professor Gordon Emmerson in his Resource State Personality Theory. Resources exist physically in our brains as neural pathways.
Our States are our Resources, they are our personality parts, and as such can be equated to neural pathways that develop the ability to change and be rewired with neuroplasticity. Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are formed in the brain. Neurogenesis is crucial when an embryo is developing, but also continues in certain brain regions after birth and throughout our lifespan.
Brain cells use neurogenesis during normal brain development when the immature brain first begins to process sensory information through early growth (developmental plasticity and plasticity of learning and memory).
When we are born and in our toddler years our brain grows exponentially. As a neuron (think of this as a cell much like a tree matures it sends out many branches of axons (responsible for sending messages out) and dendrites (capable of receiving information) increasing the number of synaptic contacts as it lays the specific synaptic connections – neuron to neuron.
Neurons have a membrane that is designed to send information to other cells. The axon and dendrites are specialized structures designed to transmit and receive information. The connections between cells are called synapses. Neurons release chemicals known as neurotransmitters into these synapses to communicate with other neurons.
An infant of three will have approximately 1500 synapses per neuron (Gopnick et al. 1999), whereas the adult brain has only 7,500 due to synaptic pruning, where unused connections are deleted.
Unused sections are also available to neurogenesis as an adaptive mechanism to compensate for lost function and/or to maximize remaining functions in the event of brain injury. It is our experiences, which determine which connections will be strengthened and which will be pruned. Those that are activated frequently will be preserved; neurons must have a purpose to survive. Those neurons without purpose die off through a process call apoptosis much the same way we prune our roses when they are not growing.
Since our brains are neuroplastic, repeating behaviour over and over again allows our brain to develop and connect in such a way that it will create a physical neural pathway. This is exactly how our Resource states are developed - mostly in childhood. Understanding this developmental process is at the heart of Resource Therapy Theory of Personality

CODE OF ETHICS
Code of EthicsAs an ICF member Andrew Date is committed to maintaining and promoting excellence in coaching. ICF expects all members and credentialed coaches (coaches, coach mentors, coaching supervisors, coach trainers or students), to adhere to the elements and principles of ethical conduct: to be competent and integrate ICF Core Competencies effectively in our work.
In line with the ICF core values and ICF definition of coaching, our Code of Ethics is designed to provide appropriate guidelines, accountability and enforceable standards of conduct for all of our coaches, who commit to abiding by the following ICF Code of Ethics:Part One: Definitions

A professional coaching relationship exists when coaching includes an agreement (including contracts) that defines the responsibilities of each party.Roles in the Coaching Relationship:
In order to clarify roles in the coaching relationship it is often necessary to distinguish between the client and the sponsor.

For purposes of identification, however, Andrew Date defines these roles as follows:Client:
The “Client/Coachee” is the person(s) being coached.Sponsor:
The “sponsor” is the entity (including its representatives) paying for and/or arranging for coaching services to be provided.In all cases, coaching engagement agreements should clearly establish the rights, roles and responsibilities for both the client and sponsor if the client and sponsor are different people.Student:
The “student” is someone enrolled in a coach training program or working with a coaching supervisor or coach mentor in order to learn the coaching process or enhance and develop their coaching skills.Conflict of Interest:
A situation in which a coach has a private or personal interest sufficient to appear to influence the objective of his or her official duties as a coach and a professional.Part Two:

I will promptly seek the relevant professional assistance and determine the action to be taken, including whether it is appropriate to suspend or terminate my coaching relationship(s) whenever the facts and circumstances necessitate.9) Recognize that the Code of Ethics applies to my relationship with coaching clients, coachees, students, mentees and supervisees.10) Conduct and report research with competence, honesty and within recognized scientific standards and applicable subject guidelines. My research will be carried out with the necessary consent and approval of those involved, and with an approach that will protect participants from any potential harm. All research efforts will be performed in a manner that complies with all the applicable laws of the country in which the research is conducted.11) Maintain, store and dispose of any records, including electronic files and communications, created during my coaching engagements in a manner that promotes confidentiality, security and privacy and complies with any applicable laws and agreements.12) Use ICF Member contact information (email addresses, telephone numbers, and so on) only in the manner and to the extent authorized by the ICF.Section 2:
Conflicts of InterestAs a coach, I:13) Seek to be conscious of any conflict or potential conflict of interest, openly disclose any such conflict and offer to remove myself when a conflict arises.14) Clarify roles for internal coaches, set boundaries and review with stakeholders conflicts of interest that may emerge between coaching and other role functions.15) Disclose to my client and the sponsor(s) all anticipated compensation from third parties that I may receive for referrals of clients or pay to receive clients.16) Honor an equitable coach/client relationship, regardless of the form of compensation.Section 3:

The agreement shall include the roles, responsibilities and rights of all parties involved.20) Hold responsibility for being aware of and setting clear, appropriate and culturally sensitive boundaries that govern interactions, physical or otherwise, I may have with my clients or sponsor(s).21) Avoid any sexual or romantic relationship with current clients or sponsor(s) or students, mentees or supervisees. Further, I will be alert to the possibility of any potential sexual intimacy among the parties including my support staff and/or assistants and will take the appropriate action to address the issue or cancel the engagement in order to provide a safe environment overall.22) Respect the client’s right to terminate the coaching relationship at any point during the process, subject to the provisions of the agreement. I shall remain alert to indications that there is a shift in the value received from the coaching relationship.23) Encourage the client or sponsor to make a change if I believe the client or sponsor would be better served by another coach or by another resource and suggest my client seek the services of other professionals when deemed necessary or appropriate.Section 4:Confidentiality/PrivacyAs a coach, I:24) Maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality with all client and sponsor information unless release is required by law.25) Have a clear agreement about how coaching information will be exchanged among coach, client and sponsor.26) Have a clear agreement when acting as a coach, coach mentor, coaching supervisor or trainer, with both client and sponsor, student, mentee, or supervisee about the conditions under which confidentiality may not be maintained (e.g., illegal activity, pursuant to valid court order or subpoena; imminent or likely risk of danger to self or to others; etc) and make sure both client and sponsor, student, mentee, or supervisee voluntarily and knowingly agree in writing to that limit of confidentiality. Where I reasonably believe that because one of the above circumstances is applicable, I may need to inform appropriate authorities.27) Require all those who work with me in support of my clients to adhere to the ICF Code of Ethics,
Number 26, Section 4, Confidentiality and Privacy Standards, and any other sections of the Code of Ethics that might be applicable.Section 5:
Continuing DevelopmentAs a coach, I:28) Commit to the need for continued and ongoing development of my professional skills. Part Three: The ICF Pledge of Ethics As an ICF coach, I and Andrew Date acknowledge and agree to honor my ethical and legal obligations to my coaching clients and sponsors, colleagues, and to the public at large. I pledge to comply with the ICF Code of Ethics and to practice these standards with those whom I coach, teach, mentor or supervise. If I breach this Pledge of Ethics or any part of the ICF Code of Ethics, I agree that the ICF in its sole discretion may hold me accountable for so doing. I further agree that my accountability to the ICF for any breach may include sanctions, such as loss of my ICF Membership and/or my ICF Credentials.For more information on the Ethical Conduct Review Process including links to file a complaint, please

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 FOR POTENTIAL & CURRENT CLIENTS
Q: What is Resource Therapy (RT)?
A: RT is a brief, evidence-aligned therapy that works directly with the part of you (called a "Resource State") that is stuck, overwhelmed, or in distress. It brings that part into conscious awareness, clears outdated emotional patterns, and helps you reconnect with inner strength and clarity
Q: How is it different from traditional therapy?
A: Unlike talk therapy, which often involves discussing problems over many sessions, RT targets the root of emotional patterns quickly by working with the exact part that holds the issue. It's efficient, precise, and often leads to faster, lasting relief.
Q: What types of issues can RT help with?
A: RT supports people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, addictive behaviors, low self-worth, inner conflict, and emotional blocks—especially if you’ve tried other approaches and still feel stuck.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: It depends on your goals and situation, but many clients experience meaningful change within 3–5 sessions. Some continue with longer-term work for deeper personal development.
Q: Do I need a referral?
A: No referral is needed. You can book directly with us through the CONTACT page or by submitting an enquiry.
Q: What should I expect in my first session?
A: We’ll explore your main concerns, identify the Resource State needing attention, and begin gentle, respectful techniques to bring about clarity and relief. Sessions are fully confidential and client-centred.
Q: Is it normal to feel tired or emotional after a session?
A: Yes, it's common to feel lighter, emotional, or tired after accessing deep parts of yourself. It’s a sign that your nervous system is processing and integrating the work. Rest and gentle care are encouraged.
Q: Can I combine RT with other therapy or coaching?
A: Absolutely. RT complements other modalities beautifully and can deepen the effectiveness of coaching, talk therapy, EMDR, or somatic practices.
Q: Are sessions available online?
A: Yes. We offer secure video sessions for those who prefer online support or live outside Brisbane.

“You’re Not Broken — You’re Carrying Parts That Need Healing”
Have you ever felt like you’re at war with yourself?
One part of you wants to move forward…
Another part holds you back.
One part wants to speak up…
Another part keeps you quiet.
This isn’t weakness.
It’s not self-sabotage.
And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re broken.It means parts of you are hurting — and they need attention, not judgment.At Resource Therapy Queensland, we work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to “fix” themselves — when deep down, they know something more is going on.
What is Resource Therapy?
Resource Therapy is a modern, evidence-based approach that helps you connect with your inner parts — the emotional layers within you that hold trauma, fear, guilt, anger, or shame.These parts aren’t enemies.
They’re resources — trying to protect you in the only way they know how.But sometimes their strategies are outdated…
And until they’re heard, validated, and gently healed, they’ll keep running the show — often in ways that don’t serve you.
Why Is It Different?
Unlike talk therapy that often circles around issues or stays surface-level, Resource Therapy helps you:✅ Go straight to the root of emotional pain
✅ Engage directly with the part that’s hurting or reactive
✅ Understand the why behind your behaviors
✅ Heal at the source — without needing to relive past trauma
✅ Feel more whole, peaceful, and in controlYou’re not just talking about change — you’re experiencing it.
Who Is This For?
We work with adults who are:✅ Emotionally stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed
✅ Caught in cycles of self-sabotage or people-pleasing
✅ Feeling like “something deeper” needs to be healed
✅ Tired of trying to think their way out of emotional patternsWhether it’s trauma, burnout, low self-worth, or just feeling off — there’s a way forward. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
What Can You Expect?
With Resource Therapy, clients often report:
✨ Emotional clarity
✨ Reduced reactivity
✨ Greater self-compassion
✨ Deeper peace
✨ Reconnection with their true selfAnd the best part?
It’s fast, respectful, and grounded in neuroscience — no fluff or guesswork.

How Is Resource Therapy Different?
A Clear Look at How It Compares to Other Parts-Based Therapies and EMDR
If you’ve been exploring therapy options to heal anxiety, trauma, or emotional stuckness, you may have come across terms like:* Parts Therapy
* Internal Family Systems (IFS)
* Ego State Therapy
* EMDR…and wondered: What’s the difference between all these?
And more importantly — which one is right for me?
At Resource Therapy Queensland, we believe that healing happens when you find the approach that resonates with you.In this article, we’ll break down:
✅ What Resource Therapy actually is
✅ How it compares to other therapies like IFS and EMDR
✅ What makes it unique
✅ And how to know if it’s the right fit for you
What Is Resource Therapy?
Resource Therapy is a parts-based, trauma-informed modality that helps you connect directly with the inner parts of yourself that are holding emotional pain, outdated beliefs, or intense reactions.These parts — called “Resources” — are not seen as problems, but as valuable aspects of you that have become overwhelmed, stuck in the past, or pushed out of awareness.In a session, the therapist helps you identify which part of you is activated (for example: the part that gets angry, panics, people-pleases, or shuts down), and then gently brings that part into the conscious “chair” to speak, feel, and finally heal.
How Is It Different from Other Parts Therapies?
Let’s take a look:
🧩 Resource Therapy vs Internal Family Systems (IFS)
| RT VS IFS | Resource Therapy | IFS |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Psychotherapy model with distinct modes of the self (Resources) | Spiritual-psychological model with “parts” + “Self” |
| Focus | Directly working with the part that is present and activated | Building relationships with parts from the Self energy |
| Technique | The part speaks through the client (in the “chair”) for deeper emotional processing | Client speaks about the part, guided by the Self |
| Speed | Often brief and focused (used effectively in shorter sessions) | Often slower-paced and relational |
| Philosophy | Grounded in clinical psychology (developed by Prof. Gordon Emmerson, PhD) | Integrative, spiritual, and systems-oriented (developed by Richard Schwartz, PhD) |
Both are parts therapies — but Resource Therapy is more structured, directive, and efficient for certain client presentations.
🧠 Resource Therapy vs Ego State Therapy
| RT VS Ego State Therapy | Resource Therapy | IFS |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Modern evolution of ego state work | Based on older psychoanalytic concepts |
| State Access | Accesses specific emotional states (Resources) in the moment | Works with ego states as broader personality fragments |
| Method | Structured, phase-based protocol | Client speaks about the part, Structured, phase-based protocol |
| Speed | Often brief and focused (used effectively in shorter sessions) | Often slower-paced and relational |
| Development | Designed as a standalone trauma-informed therapy | Often combined with other modalities |
Think of Resource Therapy as a next-generation approach to Ego State Therapy — with clearer structure, defined techniques, and fewer assumptions about pathology.
⚡ Resource Therapy vs EMDR
| RT VS EMDR | Resource Therapy | IFS |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Talk-based, parts therapy | Sensory-based trauma therapy |
| Method | Verbal engagement with specific inner parts | Uses eye movements or tapping to process traumatic memories |
| Focus | Healing the part that still holds the emotional pain | Desensitising distressing memories stored in the brain |
| Trauma Handling | Doesn’t require reliving the trauma in full detail | Often revisits specific memories |
| Client Experience | Collaborative, grounded, and conscious | Can be nonverbal and passive at times |
Both are trauma-informed, but Resource Therapy may feel safer for those who don’t want to “revisit” traumatic events directly.
LET’S BREAK IT DOWN:
What Makes Resource Therapy Unique?
✅ It’s fast – clients often see shifts in 1–3 sessions
✅ It’s respectful – no re-traumatizing or deep digging required
✅ It’s empowering – clients feel in control and understood
✅ It’s precise – the exact part that needs healing is brought forward
✅ It’s non-pathologising – you are not your diagnosis or symptoms
Is It Right for You?
Resource Therapy might be a good fit if:✨ You feel emotionally stuck, anxious, or burnt out
✨ You’ve tried therapy before but didn’t feel deeply changed
✨ You suspect your reactions come from unresolved inner parts
✨ You want a gentle, efficient, respectful way to heal
Final Thoughts
There’s no one-size-fits-all in healing.
But if you’re looking for a modern, effective, and compassionate approach to reconnect with the parts of you that need attention — Resource Therapy may be the path you’ve been looking for.
We’d love to help you explore it.

The Neuroscience Behind Transformation: How Resource Therapy Taps Into Memory Reconsolidation
Welcome to the frontier of modern psychotherapy—Memory Reconsolidation—and the powerful way it aligns with Resource Therapy (RT).
🧠 What is Memory Reconsolidation?
Memory reconsolidation is a neurobiological process discovered through decades of research. It explains how emotional memories—once thought permanent—can be unlocked, updated, and overwritten..
Here’s how it works::✅ A stored emotional memory is reactivated.
✅ In a short time window (minutes to hours), that memory becomes malleable.
✅ If a contradictory experience is introduced during this window, the brain rewrites the emotional blueprint when the memory restabilises.The result?
Trauma, fear, shame, and other embedded emotional responses can be dismantled at their source, not just suppressed or worked around.
🔗 How Does Resource Therapy Use This?
Resource Therapy (created by Professor Gordon Emmerson) is a parts-based psychotherapy. It views the psyche as composed of distinct inner “Resources” or ego states—each with its own needs, emotions, and history.
Here’s where it gets exciting: the entire RT process mirrors the neuroscience of reconsolidation.
✨ Step 1: Reactivate – RT guides the client to access the specific “Vaded” (wounded) part holding the emotional pain.✨ Step 2: Contradict – A deeply resourced internal state is activated and brought into dialogue, creating a mismatch with the old emotional narrative.✨ Step 3: Rewrite – Through carefully structured dialogue and therapeutic interventions (e.g., Empowerment, Expression, Rejuvenation), the old emotional memory is reprocessed and replaced with a new internal truth.
This process isn’t about coping or managing.
It's about....
Permanently deactivating outdated emotional patterns right at the neurological root.
📚 The Science That Backs It
Though Resource Therapy itself hasn’t yet been studied in randomised controlled trials, the mechanism it uses is well-supported by neuroscience.🔷 Studies by Schiller, Monfils, and Alberini have shown that emotional fear responses can be permanently erased if contradictory information is introduced during the reconsolidation window.🔷 Therapeutic models like Coherence Therapy and EMDR have begun to explicitly structure sessions around these reconsolidation principles—with compelling results.🔷 The ROTATE study in Cambodia (Psychological Medicine, 2017) demonstrated extraordinary results using resource activation alone:95.9% of clients with PTSD were in remission after treatment, compared to 24% in the control group.
✨ Why This Matters for You
If you're a client:
You’re not broken—and you don’t have to live with looping emotional patterns. Resource Therapy offers a precise, compassionate, and science-aligned path to emotional freedom.
If you're a therapist:
Understanding and harnessing the principles of memory reconsolidation will deepen the efficacy of your practice—and put you on the cutting edge of trauma-informed transformation.
🔍 Final Thought
This isn’t just therapy....
It’s neuro-surgical storytelling — rewriting the brain’s emotional code, one part at a time!
Resource Therapy may have emerged outside the halls of academia, but it's built on principles that science is now catching up to.
And at its core lies a radical promise:
You can change the story. And your brain will believe it.
