NOV 13 23: Healing Developmental Trauma Video

This conversation centers on recognizing and transforming developmental trauma through NARM, highlighting the importance of working in the present moment to address unresolved experiences from early childhood. Dr. Heller explains how NARM differs from shock-focused therapies by incorporating both top-down and bottom-up processes, emphasizing emotional completion and deeper self-awareness. He discusses how many protective mechanisms, initially formed as vital childhood adaptations, can lead to disconnection from the self and others in adulthood. Throughout, he underscores the significance of maintaining a balanced, supportive therapeutic environment that respects each individual’s pace and capacity for healing. The session also covers how external practices, such as bodywork or other approaches, may complement NARM when applied thoughtfully. By guiding clients to explore their underlying emotions and beliefs, NARM promotes self-regulation and a more integrated sense of identity, ultimately supporting profound and lasting change.
