Course Description

Super Resourcing (SR) integrates the AIP model, the neurobiology of trauma, ego state psychology, and attachment theory into resource development. To specifically address attachment wounding, SR shifts focus away from trauma and corresponding negative sensations, emotions, and cognitions to targeting the ego part who experienced trauma. Installing and processing client-generated resources and corresponding positive sensations, emotions and cognitions, results in a time-efficient and effective adaptive resolution of attachment wounds. Trauma symptoms and SUDS are reduced without having to process trauma directly. Complete with clinical applications, client videos, and a guided SR session for direct learning, clinicians discover how to guide clients in developing their own corrective healing environment and creating the experience of safety, protection, nurturance, and guidance so critical to attachment healing. SR is not about focusing on who our clients became because of trauma but on reclaiming who they truly are and embodying who they wish to become.
