The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) will be discussed in this lecture, which is a specialized treatment approach for mental health professionals who work with the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD).
NARM is an innovative methodology for managing relational, developmental, cultural, and intergenerational trauma by addressing the disordered attachment patterns that create psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal issues. These early, unconscious patterns of disconnection, referred to by NARM as Adaptive Survival Styles, have a profound impact on our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior, and relationships. NARM provides a strong paradigm for treating the life-long effect of ACEs and C-PTSD and encouraging trauma-informed treatment by working directly with the deeply established neurobiological patterns of shame, self-hatred, and self-sabotage.
This developmentally oriented, neuroscientifically informed strategy, as defined in Dr. Laurence Heller’s book Healing Developmental Trauma, connects traditional psychotherapy with somatic techniques within a relational practice framework. NARM is a mindfulness-based clinical therapy because its technique is founded on a phenomenological approach to addressing identity and Self consciousness – who we actually are beneath these stereotyped ways of responding to ourselves and the environment. In this light, the NARM approach to complex trauma recovery can be viewed as a vehicle for personal and communal development.
