The wise, imaginative and creative body
You are not broken. You are not a problem to be solved. You are beautifully complex, alive and ever evolving. And you’re in good company.
NARM™ is a gentle yet profound, heart-centered therapeutic approach for working with the emotional and physiological imprint of childhood stress and relational trauma. It addresses the ways you had to adapt and reshape yourself in an effort to create a sense of safety and belonging early in life.
We'll explore how these adaptations may still be playing out, affecting:
-
your sense of who you are
-
your ability to feel safe inside yourself and with others
-
your comfort with intimacy and connection
-
your sense of capacity and possibility in your life
NARM™ bridges traditional psychotherapy with body-mind approaches designed to help you access your deepest knowing. We work with the place where thought and the felt sense of our being come together. This embodied inquiry process supports you to uncover and recover the aspects of yourself that you needed to bury or leave behind so they can have their voice, sing their song inside you and catalyze the growth and evolution you long for.

NARM™ is the work of Dr. Laurence Heller, co-author of Healing Developmental Trauma: How Early Trauma Affects Self-Regulation, Self-Image and the Capacity for Relationship.
How did the rose ever open its heart
And give to this world all its beauty?
If felt the encouragement
of light against its being,
Otherwise, we all remain too frightened.
