I’ve been in therapy for over 20 years. I’ve worked with every modality under the sun! Regardless, I still struggled with sense of, ‘I’m wrong’ and ‘I shouldn’t be here.’ As I started to dig deeper through the CRM process, I discovered that I’d been incarnated in my own ancestral lineage many generations ago, and in that lifetime, I had been a perpetrator of terrible crimes against humanity.

These were memories that I never knew I had. I re-experienced what I’d done , to who and why. This wasn’t some heady intellectual knowing, but something that was deep , somatic and visceral. As I re experienced  this in the present time,  being held in the somatic resources of the protocols of CRM,  I was able to re visit of the deep buried feelings  of chronic shame. The shame that had been manifesting throughout my life and manifesting as ‘I’m wrong’ and ‘I don’t deserve to be here.’

CRM provided the necessary deep somatic scaffolding, that allowed these memories to surface up and eventually be discharged. I emerged feeling like ‘I’d got my life back.’ It was quite extraordinary. I’d felt as if I’d been reborn and could finally live my life fully and not be dragged down by this deep shame that had been with me my whole life. I am deeply grateful for CRM for giving my life back!!!!!

I have attended many trainings in my 25 years as a therapist to grow both professionally and personally. I began my journey with learning about Comprehensive Resource Model in 2018. I have since utilized the model with several clients and have witnessed life changing healing and transformation CRM has made in their lives.

I recently attended a weeklong Intensive Generational training in Cape May, New Jersey.  This training was life changing for me personally as well as professionally and was witness to the same response with the other women who attended this intensive.  We worked primarily on our perpetrator patterns, activities, patterns, templates sourced in our soul’s journey and the three ancestral lineages.  None of us wanted to do this but in the end, it was the personal work that truly changed us all.  We are all as close as family to this day because of this process.

Lisa’s intuitive light shines through with every training I have ever attended with her, but this particular intensive in Cape May created a bond and a large sense of purpose for all who attended.  I am beyond grateful for the opportunity.

I always knew I was an anxious person and that I had a lot of insecurity.  As a psychotherapist, I mastered a lot of different coping mechanisms to deal with my fear, but the fear was always with me.  Prior to the CRM treatment, I accepted the belief that I cannot do anything about my anxiety– all I could do was manage the symptoms by distracting myself from these negative emotions.

Through the CRM treatment, I am able to realize how much I was driven by fear every single day.  Understanding and clearing the root of generational trauma helped me to live my life without irrational fears and worries.  My daily decisions come from my curiosity and desire instead of being afraid. The treatment did not only make my life easier, but also made me reconnect with the gift and strengths from my lineage.  I feel more aligned with my authentic self physically, emotionally and spiritually.  I have a new understanding and appreciation of myself and my life.

When starting CRM, I had worked on trying to heal from sexual abuse many times, many different ways. Whilst I had some relief, I just wasn’t healing. Through CRM generational work, I discovered there was a pattern of sexual abuse in my maternal lineage – the abuse had never been talked about or reported. The pattern had been passed down. I was carrying a sense of immobility from my ancestors and experiences in this life. On doing CRM generational work, I discovered that this immobility had actually started way before the couple of generations I consciously knew about. I was able to process the narrative of what happened to my ancestors AND the pain that was just too unbearable to be felt at the time. This released the sense of immobility within me, and with additional early attachment and pre-conception work – I was able to speak up and report the abuse. This was EXCEPTIONALLY healing for me, and a matter of child protection as the perpetrator was still alive and had access to children.

Afterwards, I checked in with my ancestors and there was a sense of wonder, joy and disbelief at first as to what I had been able to do. They were smiling, I felt a genuine connection with them and they were truly grateful to be relieved of those secrets. My jaw muscles started to relax (from staying silent, I had clenched my jaw muscles since childhood) and I gained the sincere trust from the younger parts of me that had experienced the pain of that pattern. Looking into my consciousness PRE-conception, I found some themes there that helped me understand why I ‘ended up’ in the family that I did. I was able to understand some of the journey my Soul had been on that had got me to this point – with no judgement! This was another major key to healing.

I have since done more CRM generational work with my material line. This time focusing on the generational GIFTS that had been lost and forgotten. This was INCREDIBLE. Truly incredible. I went from experiencing my maternal line as people who had been poor and stuck in freeze, to discovering that there were women who had skills in theatre, ceremonies and healing. These were all things I was doing in my life already!! My family had no display of these skills and couldn’t understand why I was so different. However! These were generational gifts that I’d picked up and was living. I was able to communicate with these skillful and magical ancestors, which consolidated and amplified how I embodied those qualities. When I think of my maternal line now, writing this, I do so with a smile and tears of joy. It’s beyond what I can describe in words – to be connected to people I have not met in the physical, yet feel their loving, supportive and playful presence.

For me, CRM has been a way to both heal pain AND remember the joy of being alive. I now embody more life force, I am more present, I have access to more free will – AND I have an increased capacity to feel and embody love; for myself, my fellow humans, my ancestors and the whole experience of life!
