The Neuroaffective Relationship Model (NARM™) is a psychotherapeutic approach specifically designed to treat attachment, relationship, and developmental trauma, also referred to as “complex trauma” (Complex-PTSD or C-PTSD). This developmentally oriented, neuroscience-based method emerged from psychotherapeutic orientations such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, Gestalt therapy, and somatic psychotherapy. NARM™ integrates top-down psychotherapy with bottom-up somatics approaches in a relational context.

WHO IS THE TRAINING FOR

Clinical Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists, Counsellors, Coaches and other Healing Practitioners with Psychotherapeutic Practice. Participants are required to attend all sessions of the program.

LANGUAGE:

The retreat will be guided in English, without consecutive translation. The training will take place at Porto, Portugal.

This webinar aims to provide a brief overview and impression of NARM® (NeuroAffectiveRelationalModel) – a method for treating developmental trauma often associated with difficulties in relationships, affect regulation, and low self-esteem.

The basic orientation of the method will be outlined as well as the underlying theoretical approaches. You will also get a sense of what makes NARM different from other methods and why it makes the therapist’s work much easier and at the same time more effective in treating developmental trauma.

During the presentation you will have the opportunity to put questions in the chat. You may also send us questions beforehand that we will collect and address them during the webinar

We offer you the opportunity to attend the NARM training that will take place in Bucharest. It will be conducted in English with consecutive translation into Romanian.

NARM™ addresses relational and attachment trauma, working with early, unconscious patterns of loss of contact that deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior and relationships. By integrating a psychodynamic and body-centered approach, NARM™ provides a comprehensive theoretical and clinical model for working with developmental trauma.

NARM™ explores the connection between psychological problems and the body, drawing on psychodynamic models such as attachment and object relations theory, as well as somatic and character-structural approaches. NARM™ works relationally in the present moment and in the context of interpersonal neurobiology and offers a new approach to relationship work – this is resource-oriented, non-regressive, non-cathartic and ultimately non-pathologizing.

NARM™ is based on what NARM™ calls somatic mindfulness and is influenced by a non-Western orientation to the nature of our identity. Learning how to work with these different elements simultaneously is a radical shift. It has profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma and supporting personal and relational growth.

The NARM™ training program consists of four modules to be completed over a period of two years. Two modules will be delivered in each year of study.

Year I: 2 modules of 5 days each, 60 hours of training.
