A practical step-by-step guide and follow-up companion
to Healing Developmental Trauma--presenting one of the first comprehensive models for addressing complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD)
The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is an integrated mind-body framework that focuses on relational, attachment, developmental, cultural, and intergenerational trauma. NARM helps clients resolve C-PTSD, recover from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and facilitate post-traumatic growth.
Inspired by cutting-edge trauma-informed research on attachment, developmental psychology, and interpersonal neurobiology, The Practical Guide for Healing Developmental Trauma provides counselors, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, and trauma-sensitive helping professionals with the theoretical background and practical skills they need to help clients transform complex trauma. It explains:
The four pillars of the NARM therapeutic model
Cultural and transgenerational trauma
Shock vs. developmental trauma
How to effectively address ACEs and support relational health
How to differentiate NARM from other approaches to trauma treatment
NARM's organizing principles and how to integrate the program into your clinical practice

This new book, written by Dr. Laurence Heller and Brad Kammer, presents the clinical approach to the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), created by Dr. Laurence Heller, and continues NARM’s important contribution to the rapidly evolving field of traumatology. As a follow up companion to the groundbreaking book Healing Developmental Trauma, this practical manual offers step-by-step guidance to those wishing to work with some of the most hard-to-treat patients who suffer from the heartbreak of developmental trauma. This book is designed mostly for therapists wanting to better understand NARM but also for some trauma survivors who want to educate themselves about how the NARM method works. While trauma experts scratch their heads about how to best treat early developmental trauma, and while finding consensus among the experts can be challenging, NARM offers a much-needed tool in the integrative trauma therapist's medicine bag.
