Lisa Schwarz, Creator and Developer of CRM® joins us for this first episode of The Trauma Healing Tribe!

Lisa gives an overview of The Comprehensive Resource Model - that developed from a trauma treatment with a spiritual element to the aim of bringing every aspect of a human being into wholeness:

• The re-membering of every aspect of our existence, from our physical human structure (including in utero) to where we've come from, and what we carry from the generational and past life lineages.
• The overall target of CRM® is to address the split from connection to core essence or Source - to bring wholeness and integration to our life and purpose, to love self 100% without judgment.
• What is contributing to the fragmentation from our essence across timelines, dimensions, lineages and species?
• Where in the experience of our existence can we find the disconnections from our bodies, tribe, land, intuition, our light, our lineages and Source?
• Choice points that perpetuate states of victim, persecutor and failed rescuer.
• Brain and body-based safety provided by CRM® resources to help us remember, feel fully and orient towards the broader fractal experiences of our individual and collective history.
• Additional resources in CRM®; sound, external music, toning the sound of both trauma and connection, sacred geometry and ancestral resources.
• The centrifugal process of separating out each part, its history and intent, before the integration can happen.
• The challenges of this work, for client and therapist.
• The role of victim consciousness and the empowerment around doing work on ourselves as perpetrators in this life and our lineages.
• The knowledge that if we do this clearing work, we can become whole and bring healing into the collective.

Lisa joins us to talk through how she begins work with complex clients.

• What is meant by a complex client?
• What's included in a CRM® intake.
• Psycho-education on dissociation, including dissociation from dissociation, multi-dimensional sources of trauma, and how resourcing works.
• Developing an understanding why we're doing what we're doing in the work.
• Getting to know how the persons system is working by; mapping parts and aspects of who they are, how they got created, what's their purpose.
• Working as a partner with clients.
• Assessing the levels of fears; of the work, of feeling, of healing, of remembering, of going crazy - and identifying the parts of the client that don't want to heal.
• The client's intuition and internal wisdom knows best where to start.

Lisa and Elisa talk us through:

• The fact that the majority of time in therapy is spent working with obstacles and blocks to healing, which if not addressed, can affect the therapist's judgment of self-efficacy and of the client.
• The role of fear as it underlies all obstacles.
• Fear of becoming an adult, and the associated choice and free will around true healing.
• How to spot fear of being an adult, and the role of child parts of self in this fear
• The fear of loss of power
• How post-traumatic symptoms and harmful choices result from powerlessness, and the desire to feel we have impact and agency.
• How to spot and negotiate with the client's post-traumatic seat of power, the role of validation and respect for these choices, as well as creating clarity for future choices from a free will perspective.
• How attachment and the post-traumatic use of power may be wired together, creating secondary gains and blocks to healing
• How beliefs around being undeserving of healing, or being 'unforgivable' play out in unconscious obstacles to healing, and how to work with the roots and origins of these beliefs
• Blocks to remembering the truths of life, and therefore remembering the pain, both emotional and physical - how remembering the truth will impact on our relationships and free will, and how this may be defended against.
• The possibility of positive neurochemistry firing and wiring with the attachment to pain and to the story of what happened. The use of CRM resources to give an alternative source of attachment and therefore the possibility of healing.
• The importance of the client's choice to heal and CRM's stance of the therapist working alongside the client to elucidate their adult self choices.

Elisa Elkin-Cleary and Lisa Schwarz join us to discuss the main points of opportunity for the therapist to evolve:

• The conscious and unconscious drive to become a therapist as a way of healing oneself, and the risk of unhealed mental health professionals working with clients.
• The responsibility on the therapist to do their own healing work
• The challenge to the therapist to heal the ruptures with self, nature, lineages that otherwise will limit and compromise the ability to help the client change.
• Healing root intolerable pains of the truths of life that drive defence response 'symptoms' and further pain, allows the client the choice to evolve. This can only be offered if the therapist has done this work themselves.
• Despite doing many years of therapy, the therapist may still have unhealed survival terrors and disruptions of attachment to self, the body, family, nature and lineages. This may impact ability of the therapist to stay embodied, and thus the client's ability to stay embodied.
• The need for embodiment during the therapy process to make the work 'stick' and to create the safety needed to move towards the painful roots of the client's system.
• The issue of the emphasis on emotional regulation and staying in the comfort zone in traditionally-taught therapy.
• How CRM provides safety and regulation which makes the discomfort of healing safe enough to create real change.
• How the therapist's attachment to the outcome of the work may be set up to mitigate their own fears and beliefs around failure, unlovability and need to be successful and 'ok', and how the session can be affected by the therapist's survival terrors and defences.
• How the CRM therapist is not the 'expert' on the client, but works alongside them, able to face the unknown and attune to what is actually in front of them.
• CRM supervision as a way of identifying what healing work the therapist needs to do to take their clients deeper
• The reality that we are all growing and evolving and learning from the complexities of each client, and the place of supervision as a loving and respectful opportunity for the therapist to evolve.

Elisa Elkin-Cleary joins us to discuss the ‘Adult Self’. She shares:

• What is the Adult Self?
• What age does one become an Adult?
• Why people with a trauma history struggle to develop an adult self
• The role of adultified child parts in managing the system
• Why it’s important for therapists to do this work in particular

ADULT SELF EXERCISE
Elisa also gives us a grounded exercise to discover the age of the part that’s working.

For this last episode of the Series 1, Lisa joins us once again to discuss Core Self:

• Core Self as the energetic, vibratory, non-dissociated essence of us, the everlasting 'us' that is non-doing, non-active, the state of the divine being in us.
• The goal is to unify Core Self as true awareness that exists whether we are incarnate are not, with an embodied state in the human experience.
• How and why Lisa discovered Core Self.
• What's it like to experience Core Self?
• The Core Self Training - how to work with and clear the belief systems and splits that block the re-membering of Core Self; e.g. beliefs around not being deserving or being unforgivable, as well as generational material and dissociated parts. The teaching also shows participants how and when they might use Core Self awareness.
• The main uses of Core Self in the therapeutic process and daily life.
• Core Self as an opportunity to live in integrity, and a way to turn towards self, other and Source.

Matthew Green and Lisa Schwarz explore these key aspects of healing generational trauma:

• All present-day trauma can be understood as having generational and collective roots, and shows itself in the endless replaying of victim, perpetrator and failed rescuer dynamics
• To provide successful generational healing that sticks, the therapist must help the client interweave the narrative with the emotional and somatic memories
• The need for the client to be as fully embodied as possible to have more capacity and processing ability for the more multi-dimensional work.
• Spotting red flags for the need for generational work - including addictions, pervasive victimhood stance, perpetration dynamics, and medical and psychological symptoms that are non-responsive to regular treatment
• The need for the therapist to be aware of how generational trauma creates obstacles and blocks to healing.
• The requirement for the therapist to do their own work, to perceive clearly what needs attention in their clients' presentations.
• The therapist's need for energetic protections and use of resources to mitigate against any less-than-beneficial generational material exposure.

Lisa and Matthew pick up their conversation to talk about healing through the remembering of generational resources.

• The re-membering of the ancestral resources as a way in which trauma clearing can occur, when clarity of intention and language is used
• As part of best practice, the need for the therapist to clear at least the majority of their generational wounds, to maintain discernment, accountability and impeccability.
• The life enriching benefits of ancestral reconnection and relationship, including experience of unity consciousness and highest expressions of love.
• The need for the therapist to have ongoing contact with their own ancestors in order to provide effective generational work - as a vital part of the healing team
• The scale of the global issues we face today as a symptom of generational trauma within the very structures of our society
• CRM's aims to bring safe, accessible, effective generational healing to large groups - scaling up the work to match the scale of our world's challenges.
