About this listen

Explaining that an impaired capacity for connection to self and to others underlies most psychological and many physiological problems, clinicians Laurence Heller, PhD, and Aline LaPierre, PsyD, introduce the NeuroAffective Relational Model™ (NARM), a unified approach to developmental, attachment, and shock trauma that emphasizes working in the present moment. NARM is a somatically based psychotherapy that helps bring into awareness the parts of self that are disorganized and dysfunctional, without making the regressed, dysfunctional elements the primary theme of the therapy. It emphasizes a person's strengths, capacities, resources, and resiliency, and is a powerful tool for working with both nervous system regulation and distortions of identity such as low self-esteem, shame, and chronic self-judgment.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

imp info related to therapy, healing and patterns

I am someone trying to understand my own emotional patterns better. this book gave some very important information that was helpful for someone like me. some of the stuff was too technical and was meant for psychotherapists but there was a lot of information that was helpful for me.

the best book that explains adult issues

I read this book several times in both English and its French translation. I am not attracted to the proposed therapy (NARM), but the theory made me gasp on each page. I am not a therapist but I have known for a decade that meditation, CBT, psychodynamic therapies do not work. This book says that. It also takes you to the very basics of the human psyche and how and when issues form in five areas. There are only five types of problems for the variety in human despair. Also, the book recognizes the impact of the formative years on physical sickness, in the vain of Kaiser Permanente's ACE study's determination: if you screw up your kids in the first 1-3 years of life, they pay for that in chronic illness and reduced life expectancy.

I read half the book and stopped, because I am not a doctor!

Very interesting subject, and the first half of the book is somewhat easy to understand.
As far as the psychological analyst of PTHD, it was very interesting, educational and easy to understand.
Then it got into the physiology and neurology of the brain, by then I was totally lost and could not grasp anything the author was communicating.
I stopped reading the book after finishing the first half and being completely lost by the second half!
