Step 2 – Name the Resource
Give the Resource a simple, descriptive name. Naming it will help you reconnect with it later.
Does mobilizing this Resource feel good?
- If NO, go to Complications with a Single Mobilized Resource, page 6.
- If YES, do you need another Resource for your team? (Aim for at least 2 or 3.)
- If NO, go to Step 3 below.
- If YES, go back to the last Resource category you were on, and look for another.
Step 3 – Bring the Resource Team Together
Notice what happens when you bring all the Resources together to form a team. Does it feel good?
- If YES, go to Anchors for Soothing section below.
- If NO, go to Complications Bringing the Resource Team Together, page 6.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
