The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) offers one of the first comprehensive therapeutic models for addressing complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
This model for post-traumatic growth will introduce the 4 Pillars that supports change in one's self, relationships, and capacity for feeling more deeply human.
Complex trauma is an epidemic that impacts individuals, couples, families and communities around the world. Thanks to new research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and complex trauma (C-PTSD), we can develop a framework and skills that can lead to personal and collective change. The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) for healing complex trauma supports a post-traumatic growth process of deepening connection to Self and others.
Inspired by cutting-edge research on trauma, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology, this course helps professionals (including therapists) — or anyone interested in healing trauma — with the theoretical background and practical skills they need to transform complex trauma.
