ABSTRACT
One of our basic abilities is to regulate our inner life, namely our thoughts, feelings, imaginings, sensations, energy and even some of our bodily functions. This book is a response to the seemingly obvious question 'What is it that we are resourcing?' and opens up discussion into the wider nature of being human to consider intelligences other than thinking (IQ), such as the intelligence of feeling or emotion (EQ), imagination (IMQ), spirituality (SQ), of sensation or the body (BQ), or physical intelligence (PQ), and so on, as resourcing pathways. Thus the book also addresses the role of therapy in resourcing the brain/mind/body as a whole, including the egoic and deeper aspects of the self-system. The author further argues that our resourcing sits within the context of a wider picture of lives other than our own, even other-than-human. The author examines what 'resourcing' in therapy means and, second, to begin to explore what this might look like in practice.
