Introduction to NARM Webinar: Working with Complex Trauma

The NeuroAffective Relational Model™ (NARM™) is a powerful theoretical and clinical model for navigating the complexities of attachment, relational, and developmental trauma.  Using the findings of the ACEs Study and other trauma research, NARM offers an integrative approach for working with complex trauma (C-PTSD) and developmental trauma (DTD), and the link between mind, body and relationships.   It is a mindfulness-based, deeply relational model that bridges psychodynamic (top-down) and somatic (bottom-up) approaches.  NARM is geared toward supporting adults and couples in building greater capacity for self-regulation, resilience and interpersonal connection.

This 2-hr online webinar will offer an overview of complex trauma from a NARM perspective.  While it is geared toward helping professionals working with complex trauma, anyone is welcome and can benefit from the information presented in the webinar.  Understanding and being able to work with developmental dynamics is critical for helping our clients, and ourselves, in the healing process.  We will look at how one’s life experience presents itself in the context of a complex, psychobiologically-driven relational framework that is often largely unconscious.  This framework, laid down by our early attachment experiences, shapes our development, who we are in the world (our Self), and how we relate to others.   When one is having difficulty shifting out of old patterns, these implicit dynamics are at play and must be addressed.  The NARM approach presents a powerful model that has profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma.
