Presented by Brad Kammer, LMFT, LPCC
This unique workshop is for anyone interested in seeing how NARM works for healing attachment, relational and developmental trauma. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn first-hand how to apply NARM theory and skills in working with elements of Complex Trauma including shame, guilt, anxiety, depression, helplessness, self-criticism and self-hatred.
Brad will begin the workshop by providing a basic overview of NARM theory and skills. He will then present a video of a NARM demonstration session and deconstruct the session using NARM principles and his observations and reflections. He will then take time for questions and comments from participants.
For those that are interested in applying a somatic approach to resolving the impact of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and C-PTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), this workshop will demonstrate the transformative power of NeuroAffective Relational Model for healing Complex Trauma.

The NARM® Training Institute offers online and in-person clinical training for mental health professionals who work with Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®) addresses early trauma - attachment, relational and developmental trauma - by working with unconscious patterns of disconnection that deeply affect our identity, emotions, physiology, behavior and relationships. Integrating a body-centered and psychodynamic approach, within a context of interpersonal neurobiology, and grounded in mindfulness, heartfulness and a non-western orientation to the Self, NARM® offers a comprehensive theoretical and clinical model for the resolution of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
