Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM)
The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) modality is a nested modality with each internal resource used in a fashion that paves the way for the next level of resource to be developed and utilized. The final goal is processing the traumatic material from a place of complete neurobiological resourcing in various brain structures simultaneously. Eye positions are used to anchor the resources during processing. CRM provides the neurobiological scaffolding that allows the brain to establish a physiological state of sufficient safety for fear responses to be recognized as relevant to the past but not the present: it allows the client to be fully present in the moment while orienting to the reality that pertained in the past. The CRM provides the opportunity for re-connection to one’s true self; to the meaning of the truth of one’s life; and to the ability to embody love in one’s actions.
Healing from the impact of traumatic experiences requires that there is sufficient brain-based safety physiologically for the survival terror to be stepped into, felt fully, remembered/re-membered, and re-oriented to so that it can be transformed. This liberates the individual’s life truths and allows integration of all aspects of all experience into the whole of one’s being, creating the ultimate connection to self as mind-body-spirit. Through authentic loving relationship with ourselves comes our ability to step fully into healthy relationships with others, one-on-one as well as in community, locally and globally. This realization/manifestation of the interconnection between our “true/spiritual/core self”, our human body, and our relationship with others and the earth we live on allows for the power of love to potentiate and actualize in a way that creates change in the microcosm of our internal world, our families, and the macrocosm of the world as a whole.

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~ Khalil Gibran
