Event Type : NARM-Training

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.

Requirements

Completed training in a psychotherapeutic or body psychotherapeutic method and at least 2 years of practical experience with regular patient or client contact.

Certification

Requirements for certification: Completion of all 4 parts of the training plus 10 individual sessions and 10 supervised sessions with NARM-certified assistants.

The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®) is an effective developmentally oriented psychotherapeutic approach for addressing adverse and stressful childhood experiences (developmental trauma, K-PTBS) and their long-term effects.

This workshop provides an overview and introduces participants to the basic concepts of NARM’s theoretical and clinical approach.
NARM combines psychodynamic and somatic approaches to the treatment of developmental trauma. With an inherent understanding of the functional unity of biological and psychological development inherent in both concept and methodology, NARM works with early patterns of disconnection that deeply influence our identity, emotions, physiology, relationships, and behavior.

The approach is resource-oriented, non-regressive, non-cathartic and non-pathologizing. Therapeutic support focuses on the interplay of various aspects of identity and the capacity for connection and regulation.

This introductory workshop is not a pre-requisite for attending the full NARM training and it does not allow you to use NARM professionally.

• Overview of the theoretical and clinical approach to the treatment of developmental trauma,
• The reciprocal relationship of nervous system dysregulation and identity distortions.
• The five organizing themes in NARM and their significance from a developmental psychological point of view.

• Working in present time, the importance of dual awareness and somatic mindfulness.
• The four pillars of process work.
• The NARM healing cycle and top-down and bottom-up integration.
• Demonstration of the approach.
