SUPER RESOURCING: An Integrative Protocol for Healing Attachment Wounds

Super Resourcing is an innovative approach Alison Teal developed to heal trauma and attachment wounds. While it has roots in the EMDR tradition, unlike EMDR, it is not trauma based. Super Resourcing focuses on healing the attachment wounds in the person who experienced the trauma rather than working to resolve the trauma itself. When the client is well resourced in a neurologically integrated manner, there is a corresponding reduction of disturbance in relationship to the trauma without having to process the trauma directly. IRP takes the trauma out of trauma processing.

 

The procedural steps of Super Resourcing are designed to neurologically integrate positive images, sensations, emotions and cognitions. The integrated internalization of positive resources facilitates an enhanced present-time experience of self. More fully resourced clients are better able to tolerate doing deep trauma work. Wounded parts are invited into the resourced field for healing and empowerment.  Resolving the attachment wounds interwoven in a trauma unfixes it in the client’s psyche and it processes more easily during subsequent sessions. A systemic experience of well-being allows dissociation and fragmentation to heal and an experience of present-time wholeness becomes possible.

 

We will briefly cover the underlying principles of EMDR, which are the foundation of Super Resourcing. We will also look at the research on the brain and the power of positive imagery; how we think about things alters our perception of them. All students will receive theoretical information (PowerPoint presentation and video clips of client sessions) as well as an opportunity to practice.  There will be ample time for questions and answers.
