“The spontaneous movement in all of us is toward connection, health, and aliveness. No matter how withdrawn and isolated we have become, or how serious the trauma we have experienced, on the deepest level, just as a plant spontaneously moves toward sunlight, there is in each of us an impulse moving toward connection and healing.”
Laurence Heller
NARM therapy involves working with all elements of adaptation, which is why it leads to such excellent results in the treatment of complex trauma.
What is NARM?
NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a clinical therapy for mental health that addresses complex trauma. Unlike shock trauma, which is the focus of Somatic Experiencing, NARM works with wounds related to attachment and early developmental trauma.
At the core of NARM is the understanding that attachment patterns and the adaptations we developed to survive in our early developmental environment can cause long-term mental and physical symptoms, as well as difficulties in interpersonal relationships. These early unconscious patterns of disconnection deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior, and relationships.
NARM therapy involves working with all elements of adaptation, which is why it has such effective results in treating complex trauma. The method also provides an invaluable opportunity to resolve acute and chronic symptoms related to childhood trauma—something other therapies may not fully address.
