Event Details
This workshop provides an overview of developmental trauma from the perspective of the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) 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 attachment loss that deeply influence our identity, our emotions, our physiology, our relationships, and our behavior. The approach is resource-oriented, non-regressive, non-cathartic and non-pathologizing. Working simultaneously with these different aspects on both the physical and psychological levels of being human is a significant expansion of perspectives for working with both relational and attachment traumas.
Topics covered
- The reciprocal relationship between nervous system dysregulation and identity distortion
- The five basic biological needs and their developmental psychological significance
- The function of adaptive survival strategies in regard to unmet basic needs
- The five adaptive survival strategies in NARM, their corresponding identity distortions and how they influence adult life
- Working in present time, the significance of dual awareness and somatic mindfulness
- The implicit intention of emotions and their psychobiological completion
- The four pillars of process work
- The NARM healing cycle and integration top-down and bottom-up
- Orientation: the NARM training course for therapists
The seminar includes some presentations, practical exercises in small groups, self-awareness exercises, demo sessions, questions and answers, discussion.
Target Audience
Individuals in somatic-, psycho- and trauma-therapeutic professions who would like to get to know and experience the conceptual and methodological understanding of NARM.

Event Details
Course Description
The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARMTM) is an advanced clinical training for mental health and somatic practitioners who work with developmental trauma. NARM addresses relational and attachment trauma by working with early, unconscious patterns of disconnection that deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior and relationships. Integrating a psychodynamic, humanistic and body centered approach, NARM offers a comprehensive theoretical and clinical model for working with developmental trauma.
NARM draws on psychodynamic models such as attachment and object relations theory, and somatic and character structure approaches, in addressing the link between psychological issues and the body. Working relationally in the present moment, and within a context of interpersonal neurobiology, NARM offers a new approach of working relationally that is a resource-oriented, non-regressive, non-cathartic, and ultimately non-pathologizing
model. Grounded in what NARM calls somatic mindfulness, NARM is influenced by a non- western orientation to the nature of the identity. Learning how to work simultaneously with these diverse elements represents a radical shift that has profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma and supporting personal and relational growth.
Course Objectives
In the NARM Practitioner Training you will learn:
- The different skills needed to work with developmental versus shock trauma; when and why shock trauma interventions may be contraindicated in working with developmental trauma.
- How to address the complex interplay between nervous system dysregulation andidentity distortions, such as toxic shame and guilt, low self-esteem, chronic self-judgment, and other psychobiological symptoms.
- How to work moment-by-moment with early adaptive survival styles that, while once life-saving, distort clients’ current life experience.
- When to work ‘bottom-up’, when to work ‘top-down’, and how to work with both simultaneously to meet the special challenges of developmental trauma.
- How to support clients with a mindful and progressive process of disidentification from identity distortions.
- A new, coherent theory for working with affect and emotions, which aims to support their psychobiological completion.
Course Structure
The NARM Practitioner Training consists of 120 CEU hours divided into 4 live modules. The 4 live modules will be held for a total of 20 days over the period of the training. The live modules are typically spaced 4 – 6 months apart to allow time for continued study, practice and peer meetings in support of greater integration of the NARM clinical approach. Supplementary learning opportunities include study and practice groups, individual and group consultation, individual NARM sessions and other learning intensives.
Teaching Methods
All modules include a combination of 2 complimentary instruction approaches:
1. Didactic and theoretical learning: including lecture, question and answer periods, class-wide discussion, case consultation, and deconstruction of live-demonstrations and videos.
• Please note that this training presents highly advanced psychological learning that involves complex, often evocative and transformative material on trauma.
2. Experiential learning: including self-inquiry exercises, small group activities, role- plays, active coaching and guided skill practice.
• Please note that this training presents an opportunity for clinical development based on direct personal experience that involves complex, often evocative and transformative material on trauma.
