Comprehensive Resource Model®

“After years of training in psychotherapy, trauma recovery, and spiritual integration, I’ve finally completed my Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) Foundations training, and I can honestly say that it is the most profound healing modality I’ve encountered. CRM bridges what I’ve always felt but hadn’t seen held with such precision: the spiritual intelligence of the body, the neuroscience of healing, and the deeply sacred process of becoming whole. It’s the embodiment of what Dr. David Hawkins teaches about transcending levels of consciousness; not just conceptually, but in lived, cellular experience. This model empowers liberation from suffering at its root.

My deepest gratitude to Lisa Schwarz, the brilliant founder and teacher of CRM. Her teaching is humble, fierce, intuitive, and masterfully attuned. Her life’s work is a gift to clinicians and clients alike, and I am so thankful for the way she continues to model what it means to be in service to healing the world. CRM is grounded in attachment theory, affective neuroscience, memory reconsolidation, and a deep respect for ancient wisdom traditions. It allows clients to access the neurobiological portals to expanded consciousness while staying fully resourced and connected to self. It offers a map for navigating trauma not only as a wound, but as a gateway to personal and spiritual transformation.

It has been an honour to utilize CRM with clients with profound healing effects. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to blend deep psychotherapeutic safety with expanded states of consciousness in a clinically sound way (without the use of psychedelics *not that I am against them)... the answer is yes. CRM shows us how.”

“Lisa Schwarz’s Comprehensive Resource Model® is groundbreaking. CRM® weaves old and new therapies in mind body medicine into a unique scaffolding that cocoons a client in safety, allowing for a flow of positive neurochemistry. Most importantly, the client is in complete control, is grounded and in the present moment and able to process the true roots of traumas and emotions that have been hijacking the nervous system below the conscious knowing. The end result for clients is a deep positive shift in healing that is remarkable to witness.”

Jennifer Phelps, MD, Connecticut

"In 30 plus years of practice, I have finally found, in CRM®, a model that brings together my training in the body, energy, cognitive therapy and spirituality. It is truly the Holy Grail of therapies. Lisa Schwarz is a true visionary, combining her wealth of clinical experience with the latest research on neuroscience and trauma. At the end of this workshop, I was ready to take this amazing work into my practice. My clients should be giving this testimonial…the results are magical!"

“After having spent four days in Lisa’s Intensive, I can only say one “word”, compound as it is: Life-Changing. CRM® is, without a doubt, the best method – or perhaps better put, the best “therapeutic way of relating” – that I’ve learned AND LIVED in thirty years of practice. In my work with combat veterans, CRM® has proven to be not just effective, but even more to be healing and hope giving. I cannot recommend CRM® highly enough and I cannot thank Lisa enough for her wisdom, her passion, and her commitment to the highest healing for all.”

"Today’s CRM® session left me at peace in the wholeness of my Core Self. I’ve been a psychologist for 25 years and have experienced most forms of therapy. I know that there is no other method that could navigate my early attachment anxieties and shift my experience of myself and my life as CRM® has. Today’s session accessed and allowed the chaos of that old trauma and enabled my mind-body to resettle in a more accurate and possibility-rich home. Many thanks, Lisa."

"I have been practicing CRM® for the past year and have found it incredibly healing for myself and my clients. It is a form of practise that goes deeper and wider than any other training and personal therapy I have done over the last 30 years. It is truly healing and comprehensive. It has enabled me to be a better therapist whether I am using it with my clients or they are benefiting from my use of it. Thank you Lisa for sharing your light love and wisdom."

"It is a true pleasure to be able to recommend Lisa Schwarz’s training’s. Her Comprehensive Resource Model® is creative, intelligent, innovative, and effective. Lisa’s keen therapeutic sense, her authenticity, and her emphasis on empowering and supporting internal resources while working through overwhelming states and experiences, offer clinicians important tools for the very challenging work of resolving trauma. Her work with dissociation is similarly creative and effective. Not only have I enjoyed learning from Lisa directly, but have also seen the powerful and positive effect her teaching has had on the work being done by colleagues who have studied and consulted with her in their work with challenging dissociative disorder dynamics encountered in their practices. And, Lisa’s continuing expansion and deepening of what she offers as training’s is the best reason to see what she’s up to now."
