Workshop Description: The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is a specialized clinical approach for mental health professionals who work with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). NARM is a cutting-edge model for addressing relational, developmental trauma, cultural and intergenerational trauma, by working with the disorganized attachment patterns that cause life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties. These early, unconscious patterns of disconnection deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior and relationships. Learning how to work simultaneously with these diverse elements is a radical shift that has profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma. As such, NARM has become an invaluable treatment option for the Trauma-Informed Care movement. This developmentally-oriented, neuroscientifically-informed model, as outlined in Dr. Laurence Heller’s book Healing Developmental Trauma, emerged out of earlier psychotherapeutic orientations including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Therapy, and Somatic Psychotherapy approaches such as Gestalt Therapy and Somatic Experiencing®, and bridges traditional psychotherapy with somatic approaches within a context of relational practice. NARM is a mindfulness-based clinical treatment, as its method is grounded in a phenomenological approach to addressing identity and consciousness of self – who we truly are beneath these patterned ways of relating to ourselves and the world. Seen in this way, healing complex trauma is a vehicle for transformation on a personal and collective level. There are presently thousands of mental health professionals trained in NARM around the world, and there are currently NARM Therapist trainings running in over 10 countries. In the summer of 2020, the NARM Training Institute is launching a Level 1 NARM Online Basics Training for professionals who work with individuals and populations dealing with complex trauma. In addition to mental health professionals, this training is geared toward healthcare workers, substance abuse counselors, educators, first responders, bodyworkers and other allied fields. The NARM Training Institute offers a wide variety of other in-person and online learning opportunities to promote the Trauma-Informed movement.
