Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM)

When anxiety, people-pleasing, or shame are running your life, it’s often old survival patterns in the driver’s seat. Maybe you don’t even realize it’s happening—you just know you’re always on edge, second-guessing yourself, or putting everyone else first. CRM helps get to the root of these patterns by healing the negative core beliefs underneath. It’s not just about coping—it’s about finally feeling safe enough to live differently.

CRM (Comprehensive Resource Model) helps you get to the root of those beliefs—not just in your mind, but in your body. By layering in resourcing tools that support safety and regulation, CRM lets you access and heal the stuck places without becoming overwhelmed.

I’ve seen clients shift lifelong patterns of self-blame, anxiety, and shame—feeling more at peace in their bodies and more connected to who they truly are. You don’t have to keep doing this alone. If you’re ready to stop living by old survival stories, let’s take the next step together.

CRM is a trauma treatment model which highlights resourcing (grounding) the body to process and release activated emotions from traumatic experiences. Utilizing a blend of EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing, we focus on core negative beliefs driving unwanted thoughts and reactions. It’s effective for those struggling with CPTSD/PTSD, attachment and childhood trauma. 

The goal is to get our logical (thinking) brain offline and tap into our core selves.

CRM is also highly effective when we’ve gained insights about ourselves and behaviors through traditional talk therapy and are ready to delve deeper into clearing long held beliefs driving these behaviors.

In other terms, when we get the “Yes, but…” around our actions.

When we know something is ineffective, yet we just can’t seem to stop. This model helps bring congruence with our thoughts and our actions.

The Comprehensive Resource Model works by helping you access the deeper wisdom of your body and nervous system—layers of experience that often live beyond words. Rather than revisiting trauma in a retraumatizing way, CRM supports healing through a series of internal resources:

breath, embodied presence, attunement, and connection with parts of self.

This somatic trauma therapy approach gently guides you toward the root of long-held emotional pain, while keeping you grounded in the present moment. It’s particularly helpful for clients who feel like they’ve done the work in therapy but are still waiting for things to truly shift. CRM helps bridge that gap, creating space for lasting change and integration.

By working with the body’s innate intelligence, CRM allows for

emotional release, nervous system regulation, and reconnection with your most authentic self.

If you’re looking for a somatic, attachment-informed trauma therapy model that goes beyond insight and into true transformation, CRM might be the next step on your healing path.
