The unconditional model

----We can only give what we already have, and unconditional love is all that gives meaning to any technique or healing we may have to offer to others. The Unconditional Model focuses on self-awareness first, offering a method to quickly reach unparalleled levels of self-acceptance and overcome external conditions, no matter how challenging.
The Model uses a new understanding of Power Dynamics as a portal into one’s own unresolved trauma or unmet emotional needs; to prompt personal healing in the context of changing the world. The method also lays out the conditions necessary to help reverse trauma in others.
----Anneke Lucas developed the Unconditional Model during a decade of service to survivors of extreme trauma, both as the founder and Executive Director of her non-profit organization Liberation Prison Yoga and in communities of survivors of sex trafficking and sexual abuse. The Model is based on an analysis of those people who were able to break through Anneke's own thick defense mechanism as a survivor of child sex trafficking. Certain people were able to make a difference, whereas healing modalities such as yoga or therapy were meaningless tools unless a heart connection was made with the provider. The Unconditional Model focuses on the first step of healing trauma and looks at external and interpersonal power dynamics as a way to uncover and heal from unresolved trauma. The Unconditional Model can be used by anyone in the process of healing from trauma and offers support for therapists, program providers and yoga instructors.
