what is the comprehensive resource model?

The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) was developed by Lisa Schwarz, M.Ed. This is an ever-evolving Trauma Treatment Modality meant to bring people back to their natural state of wholeness. The CRM approach to repairing the mind-body connection is a breakthrough development in the field of psychotherapy. CRM involves breathwork, repairing attachment disruption, grounding practices, embodiment work, sacred geometry, sound vibration healing, ancestral and generational resources in a natural, organic and non-intimidating fashion.

When the brain and body experience a life threatening situation once or repeatedly, the brain reacts by telling the body to create a defense response to protect us from ever having that experience again. These defenses such as hide, avoid, submit, fight, fight, freeze, dissociate, collapse over time cause emotional symptoms such as anxiety and depression, panic attacks, or an inability to trust or maintain healthy relationships. These are the reasons people seek therapy.

From session to session the client engages with their internal attachment neurobiology through the use of fixed eye positions which assures the brain’s ability to confidently access and reconsolidate brain and body trauma memory. Once these memories aka “truth of our lives” are safely stepped in to and fully experienced, the brain no longer needs to tell the body to defend against joyful life interactions like sleep, playfulness or expressing love. This model fosters independence and self reliance, rather than a dependence on the therapist. The goal of CRM is to help the client neurologically re-member who they truly are, which allows them to live this life in a deeply connected, embodied, loving and peaceful state.
