About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

" Healing Developmental Trauma presents a comprehensive exploration of our deepest human urge." (Peter A Levine, PhD, author of In an Unspoken Voice)

I will never know whether this a good book or not. Unfortunately for me personally, the narrator's voice is next level annoying. Like nails on a chalkboard, I couldn't turn it off fast enough. Tried a second time with the same reaction. May just be me but listening to this would cause more trauma than I'm trying to heal!

any attempt to formulate a completely integrated therapeutic approach at the leading edge of current research and accepted practice is a challenge not for the faint hearted ... this is a impressive contribution to the field. there is a lot of wisdom and good ideas within but a suspect that it will not become the next big thing in helping those experiencing developmental trauma.
while it introduces a range of "survival styles" , it only addressed in detail one. (there would not have been room) but some brief discussion would have been nice.
i have now bought the hard copy as it in many ways is a text book and not always easy to listen to

important but limited

Prompted a lot of revalations - or at least pointed me in the right direction. Also gives a lot of insight into the personalities and experiences of others

Very applicable to my personal experience

Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre bring together an understanding of the ‘how to’ of integrating both top down and bottom up processes to support healing from this most disempowering and disabling form of human suffering. A helpful resource indeed!

An incredibly helpful book.
