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.

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
