THE NEUROSCIENCE BEHIND RESOURCE THERAPY
Resource States (also known as personality parts) exist physically in our brains as neural pathways.
Our Resource States can be equated to neural pathways which develop, with neuroplasticity, the ability to change and be rewired.
Brain cells use something known as neurogenesis, and there are two main ways this occurs.
The fascinating brain.
Prior to being born and in our toddler years our brain pretty much explodes in growth. 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 and laying 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.
Our brains are neuroplastic. By repeating behaviour over and over again our brain develops and connects in such a way that it will create a physical neural pathway. This is exactly how our Resource States are formed and develop - mostly in childhood.
This is at the heart of Resource Therapy Theory of Personality.
With this knowledge we can effectively restore and reattach neural pathways. Working directly with the amygdala and our brains library - the hippocampus.
Neurons can be strengthened and rewired according to Resource Personality Theory and Therapy.
When you access a Clinically qualified Resource Therapist, you can be sure that they have been trained to understand the relationship between emotions, feelings, and behaviours, in a way that will assist you to heal the parts of yourself that are in need of help and strengthen the parts of you that can do with added support. Resource Therapy uses the knowledge of neuroscience to access and work with the exact parts of the personality that require attention, bypassing the timewasting of most conversationally based therapies in a way that feels and is natural, flowing and completely safe.

- During normal brain development when the immature brain first begins to process sensory information through adulthood (developmental plasticity and plasticity of learning and memory).

- As an adaptive mechanism to compensate for lost function and/or to maximize remaining functions in the event of brain injury.
