This training will introduce you to the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) for addressing adverse childhood experiences and resolving complex trauma. NARM is a promising therapeutic modality for addressing life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties that arise from unresolved attachment, relational, developmental, cultural and intergenerational trauma.

NARM weaves together a “bottom-up” and “top-down” approach, integrating somatic, psychodynamic and relational clinical skills, that helps clients address the adaptive survival styles they’ve used to manage the impact of ACEs and C-PTSD. Offering a new perspective on post-traumatic growth, focusing on relational health and heartfulness, NARM provides a powerful model for supporting personal and collective transformation.

Educational Goals

Participants will learn clinical and cultural considerations to be aware of when working with dissociative disorders and the plural community. Participants will participate in experiential activities and apply this information to case examples in order to practice skills learned in this presentation.
