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.
