Lisa Schwarz
LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST, CONSULTANT, AND INTERNATIONAL EDUCATOR
Lisa Schwarz, M.Ed. is a licensed psychologist, consultant, and international educator working in private practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
She is the developer of The Comprehensive Resource Model™ (CRM™), a trauma therapy model that employs brain-body-spirit based physiological safety as the foundation for healing, and is the primary author of The Comprehensive Resource Model™: Effective therapeutic techniques for the healing of complex trauma. Lisa has, for the past 38 years, been dedicated to creating innovative methods for working with severe dissociative disorders (Complex PTSD, DID, DDNOS), attachment disorders, gestational and trans-generational trauma. She has also developed cutting edge conceptualizations and practice which support the maintenance of gains made through psychedelic work.
The Comprehensive Resource Model Foundation is a 5013C which is dedicated to developing a new clinical branch of CRM (CRM EQUUS), which weaves together all aspects of CRM healing across timelines with Equine Assisted Healing. The Foundation is also supporting the rescue and rehabilitation of traumatized race horses; some of whom are or will be part of the EQUUS partnership between humans and horses in healing trauma. Lisa’s work bridges neuroscience and multi-dimensional consciousness in trauma healing through a combination of traditional psychotherapy, somatic/attachment therapies and indigenous healing methods. Horses are the newest addition to the CRM team.
Workshop Four - Lisa Schwarz - CRM EQUUS:Â Partnering with Horses to Expand the Impact and Reach of the Comprehensive Resource Model
Transformational change and growth that is permanent requires that the healing and/or coaching work be done from a
fully embodied state; meaning the client is fully aware and present in his or her body during the process in order for the
positive gains to be maintained. Many of us live disconnected from our bodies and our conscious awareness resulting in
the inability to get to the deepest source of the problem in the mind-body-spirit complex. Consequently, the work can not
be done in the deep brain as needed and positive healing effects are temporary.
The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM®) or Equine-Assisted Therapy, when used separately, provide the neurobiological,
neurochemical and emotional safety that promotes full embodiment. This allows access to, and transformation of, the
deepest origins and roots of blocks, obstacles and traumatic wounds that impede our highest potential as human beings. Â
Combined, these two powerful sources of multi-faceted resources allow for a level of embodiment and transformation that is
fast and permanent.  Our partnership with horses is one of allegiance, presence and understanding. At CRM EQUUS, we
partner with free-roaming horses who are neither subjugated nor used for human gratification
CRM EQUUS philosophy lies in the knowledge that horses, in their natural habitat, free to fully express themselves, are the
greatest teachers, allowing us to explore and develop ourselves as empowered, embodied and free individuals. We experience
that dominance, constraints, or tools of control are not conducive to relationships with horses. Like any relationship, the
willingness to see ourselves clearly, with trust, courage, compassion and self-honoring, allows the horse freedom to be a
willing partner, pointing us inward, toward our true nature, the Self as the resource.
Workshop One - Lisa Schwarz - The Comprehensive Resource Model®: Healing Perpetrator Patterns Across Timelines and Lineages
The Comprehensive Resource Model® (CRM®) is a system of healing that engages multiple internal, neurobiological resource scaffolds across numerous brain structures simultaneously.
These arrays of stacked resources allow clearing of the traumatic truths of our lives, our beliefs systems and fears that drive our choices and behaviors.
The work addresses these themes across our biological and spiritual generational lineages in the context of the catalysts, experiences and consequences of perpetrator imprints, energies, behaviors and beliefs that create a state of incoherence, imbalance and disharmony in the current timeline; our "real life now". As the authors of our life, we are consistently facing the choice points that provide the opportunities to create or un-create the patterns in our mind-body-spirit complex that either enrich our evolution or perpetuate our dissociation from dissociation.
This model bridges neuroscience, consciousness and the attachment-disconnection paradigms which allow for safe, deep, multi-dimensional clearing and transformation of the perpetration experiences and wounds that influence our choices.
Choices are the spark that ignite our work as therapists, our courage as clients and alignment to our true, authentic self.
CRM® provides the opportunity for an alchemical transmutation of trauma through a therapeutic process that is safe, gentle and thorough.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Recognize the neurobiological imperative of robust internally developed resources as well as the forgotten resources.
2. Develop a clear understanding of therapeutic interventions associated with experiences of perpetrator behaviors and beliefs.
3. Apply the concepts of healing perpetration across timelines to the opportunity for change in how we manifest our choices.
4. Summarize a paradigm of trauma healing that attends to the mind-body-spirit complex across the fractal of human experience.
