Transforming Trauma: Episode 046

In this special episode of Transforming Trauma, the NARM Training Institute presents a summertime gift to Transforming Trauma listeners: a special topic webinar from the NARM Inner Circle online program. This webinar provides a window into the Inner Circle learning community where helping professionals from around the world come together to learn more about the NARM approach to resolving Complex Trauma.  

In this webinar, NARM and Working with Anxiety, Anger and Rage, NARM creator, Dr. Laurence Heller, and NARM Senior Faculty Brad Kammer, explore how unresolved anger can lead to anxiety, a common symptom for so many individuals.  They also discuss how the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) works with protest and anger to support clients’ reconnection to their authentic Self. Throughout the episode, they introduce several self-reflective exercises to support listeners’ learning process.  

Larry and Brad touch on such areas as: 

• How childhood protest turns into anger and rage 
• The difference between healthy rage and unresolved anger
• How NARM holds anxiety not as an emotion, but as a process related to our emotions
• How unresolved anger relates to anxiety and panic 
• How NARM works with the impulses toward vengeance and violence
• How NARM supports containment and not catharsis
• How feeling into the primary emotion of anger and rage – without acting it out – leads to expansiveness and a sense of freedom
