NARM Survival Styles: Psychobiological Adaptations to Developmental Trauma

The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is an approach for resolving Complex Trauma (C-PTSD).
Complex Trauma emerges out of unresolved attachment, relational and developmental trauma. This leads to distortions of personality development, or the Self. The disruption of neurobiological pathways leads to psychological, behavioral and physical symptoms and disorders. So many adults are suffering from the unrecognized impact of early trauma.
In this video, Dr. Laurence Heller, the Creator of NARM, discusses the psychobiological distortions of the self that lead to personality adaptations, in NARM referred to as "Adaptive Survival Styles." These adaptive survival styles are adaptations to early trauma that persist into adulthood and shape our present lives. NARM offers a non-pathological approach through understanding that the symptoms people are dealing with are old adaptations to unresolved early trauma.
The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is designed to resolve these adaptations and thereby heal the effects of developmental trauma. While the field of trauma continues to better understand the long-term effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), NARM offers a promising approach for resolving Complex Trauma (C-PTSD).
