DESCRIPTION:
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 ModelTM (NARM), a unified approach to developmental, attachment, and shock trauma that emphasizes working in the present moment. 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..

I have read at least 2 dozen books (plus articles) on developmental trauma, most recently Dan Siegel, Allan Schore, Stephen Porges, Pat Ogden, Onno van der Hart, so I understand a lot of the concepts in this book, from these other readings. But this book helped me put all the pieces together for a more resonant understanding of my own particular life journey. I have had a very similar experience to 2 of the 3 case studies carefully described in this book, in terms of premature birth and incubation. And I a
