Practices for Working with Complex Trauma. A Clinical Approach in Therapy of Negative Childhood Experience and Developmental Trauma

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) is one of the main challenges of modern psychotherapy. Experts in the field of C-PTSD, Doctor of Sciences Laurence Heller and somatic psychotherapist Brad Kammer, have developed a practical guide to the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) — a body-oriented approach aimed at addressing the complex consequences of complex trauma and supporting post-traumatic growth.

Instead of battling symptoms, NARM helps transform deep psycho-biological adaptations to trauma and opens the path to sustainable healing of any kind of prolonged trauma: complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), developmental and attachment trauma, and intergenerational trauma.

This guide includes:
- organizing principles of NARM for clarity and structure in work;
- models of emotional completion, therapeutic relationships, and personality spectrum;
- methods for working with patterns of complex trauma; protocols,
- transcripts and worksheets for practical application.
