Comprehensive Resource Model® London
The Comprehensive Resource Model CRM is a psychotherapeutic methodology for the healing of deep seated and complex mental health problems. Mind and body based safety will help you to achieve this.
This methodology is based on new insights in neurobiological concepts of emotional pain and trauma.
The Comprehensive Resource Model CRM was developed by Lisa Schwarz with the aim at healing dissociative disorders, complex post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD and attachment disorders. It now offers a whole new way for psychotherapists to help their clients and it offers clients tools to healing their emotional pain.
Whilst engaging in healing emotional wounds and trauma CRM addresses the following deep-rooted experiences that can be present in complex and long-term problems:
- The locus of control shift (when the client believes they are responsible for the abuse that was directed at them).
- The locus of loyalty shift (when the client believes that because his/her needs were not met their needs therefore don’t matter).
- The truth of one’s life (facing the reality of what happened even if this reality is unfair because either bad things happened, or good experiences did not happen).
- Survival terror (the frightening struggle with deciding to move to a more open and safe position in life).
- Attachment to perpetrator (staying with hurtful people or hurtful experiences because they seem to promise acceptance, safety and stability).
- Frozen breath (the neuro-biological phenomenon of chronically holding back one’s breath in order to avoid difficult feelings).
- Fear of healing (because the client fears they will lose something important if they begin to heal).
- Help rejecting (connected to feeling worthless, undeserving or bad).
- Paradoxes, which are results of internal dynamics such as “I like to feel better - I don’t deserve to feel better” or “I feel lonely - it is safer to keep others away” or “I want to be relaxed more — relaxation is too frightening”.
