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.

It reads as more of a textbook, but the author does note in the beginning that it was originally written for students taking psychology. It was easy to comprehend, and I thought the case studies included were fascinating.

As an adoptee from birth I never had a place to attribute the pain of loss that was held in my soul. Society demanded gratefulness but all I felt was pain, so I disconnected from my emotions for many years.

This book gave my pain a voice and brought my subconscious patterns to the forefront for me to investigate and refine.

I am validated. My negative patterns are learned and not genetic. My life is changed, thank you.

This book is very helpful for anyone wanting to understand and change maladaptive thoughts and behavior caused by developmental trauma. I have read hundreds of healing books over the past 20 years and this one is unique. I highly recommend it.

This book is not just regurgitation of popular self help pop psychology

I’m looking to update my knowledge of therapeutic trauma models. This book was fascinating, but it would be nice to have some algorithms to follow the structure of the systemic models he uses, and I also wish I had it in notes.

Worth the credit
