Learning  NARM principles allows you to keep up with the massive changes in the mental health profession

  • This Introductory workshop offers an overview of developmental trauma from a NARM™perspective

  •  Understanding & being able to work with developmental dynamics is critical for helping our clients in their healing process

  • ​We look at how clients’ life experiences present themselves in the context of a complex, psychobiologically-driven relational framework that is often largely unconscious.  

  •  The NARM approach weaves together a somatic or body-based (bottom-up) process while simultaneously working with clients’ identity and relational dynamics (top-down).

     

NARM EVENT PRESENTERS 

​

Gina Essex 

 

NARM Training Assistant

Gina is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan, a NARM Therapist and NARM Senior Training Assistant.  I have  been in private practice for over ten years, with a focus on assisting clients who have experienced developmental and complex trauma

 

For me, the NARM practitioner training process provided a long awaited and highly effective road map to working with clients experiencing the effects of developmental trauma.  

 

I am honored and excited to be part of a team that provides NARM training to other practitioners seeking to learn the NARM approach so that they too can be more effective in their professional practice and personal lives.

 

Bianka Hardin

 

    NARM Training Assistant  

Bianka is a NARM Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and owner of Centered Therapy Chicago, LLC. I founded CTC in 2014 with the mission to help children, adolescents, and adults improve their mental health and quality of life. I provide therapy, supervision, and consultation services.

 

I present in the community on issues related to parenting, child abuse prevention, self-care, mindfulness, trauma informed care, trauma stewardship, and cultural issues.  I have worked with trauma survivors since 1997 using a relational model of treatment.  I felt something was missing in my work with trauma survivors and while exploring various treatment modalities,

 

I learned about Somatic Experiencing and have great value in incorporating the wisdom of the body into my work.  I have enjoyed being a body-oriented therapist and wondered how I could merge psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy with SE.  I found the answer when I started my NARM training.  I am now a NARM therapist and excited to be a part of the NARM training team.

NARM EVENT TESTIMONIALS

This NARM process is so powerful. Having this NARM process allows me to continue to work after 40 years when almost all my peers have burned-out or retired. Even though I am nearing the end of my career and definitely wish I had these tools 30 years ago, my clients continue to benefit greatly from my learning.They will even tell you that they love for me to go to trainings and how what I am able to offer is so different than what they have ever experienced in treatment before. 

 

Even unsophisticated clients who know nothing about NARM, love the process and love to come back “to see what else emerges” from the process. Most come in and indicate that change is “going to take a long time”. They are mystified by how quickly a shift can occur and how permanent it tends to be. I usually consider myself to have great appreciation for the healing process, holding sacred space, and people’s ability to blossom when they get their needs addressed, but these shifts with NARM blew me away. A good part of traditional counseling methods would have given up on some of my clients, labeled them with more diagnoses, and had them heavily medicated. 

 

I look forward to seeing what can become possible as people tap into their own inner strengths and processes. It is so affirming at so many levels it is even hard to put into words.

-- Karen T, LPC 

"Attending the NARM training was one of the best personal and professional decisions I have ever made.

 

In my opinion NARM provides the missing piece for the trauma practitioner’s toolbox, enabling us to skillfully support people in navigating the complexities of developmental trauma by marrying the cognitive and the somatic and thereby acknowledging each client as a whole, fully empowered adult.

 

I find myself enjoying my work in private practice more than ever as I witness my clients come alive while they deconstruct lifelong patterns which recede into the past as they experience a new level of presence and agency in the here and now."
