Transforming Trauma: Episode 073

“Our heartfelt desire is that the NeuroAffective Relational Model can support you and your clients and that this book will enhance the work you are all doing to heal our world.” – Laurence Heller and Brad Kammer, co-authors

 

In this bonus episode of Transforming Trauma, our host Emily is joined by NARM creator Dr. Laurence Heller and Senior NARM Trainer and Training Director Brad Kammer. Larry and Brad are co-authors of the new book, The Practical Guide for Healing Developmental Trauma: Using the NeuroAffective Relational Model to Address Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resolve Complex Trauma, which will be released on July 26th, 2022. 

Emily asks about the authors’ intention of writing the book. They share their intention is to help make learning about the NeuroAffective Relational Model more accessible to a greater number of people, for both clinicians and people learning for their own healing. Throughout their conversation, they share a sneak peek of what’s included in the book: self-reflective exercises, annotated session transcripts, and more. 

They share: “NARM is not just a clinical model for resolving complex trauma—it’s a blueprint for supporting relational health.”

Dr. Heller describes this new book as “the companion piece to the first book, Healing Developmental Trauma.” and shares that it focuses on the clinical aspects of the NeuroAffective Relational Model. 

Emily shares an endorsement from Dr. Gabor Maté, author of When the Body Says No: “This book, from two experienced and insightful practitioners, offers a thorough and clear guide to a modality of therapy far deeper than the prevailing cognitive and behavioral treatments. It is highly promising because it goes beyond the surface manifestations to the root causes and dynamics of human distress.”
