PART ONE

Connection: When Access to Sensations and Feelings is Compromised

In this program you will be introduced to the NARM™ protocol for working with individuals who have great difficulty accessing their internal states.  Working effectively with people who do not have access to their bodies or emotional feelings creates significant challenges for therapists in providing effective treatment. 

 

To help conceptualize this clinical approach, we will present four general patterns for these types of clients and how to work with each one of these four patterns: 

  • Clients who cannot access their internal states (i.e. body sensations, emotions)
  • Clients who experience their internal states with dread (e.g., hypochondria)
  • Clients who experience their internal states as painful, and for whom the last thing they want to do in therapy is go into them
  • Clients for whom any positive experience is rapidly overcoupled with distress

PART TWO

Therapeutic Relationship: 

Countertransference and the Traps of Goal-Oriented, Solution-Focused Psychotherapy

$100 

Includes one-year of video access,

downloadable audio, slides and training transcript.

We often see our unresolved material emerge  with our sense of urgency or identification with making something happen for our client: to decrease their distress and symptoms; to validate our sense of accomplishment, or because we're unsure of what to do, so we strive to do something. 

 

This module focuses on working with therapists' own reactions and states within the therapeutic process.We will review the NARM Relational Model for working interpersonally with clients with complex trauma as well as the potential triggers and roadblocks in the way of us being more open, present and curious with our clients. We also delve into: 

  • Differentiating between when our own unresolved material is being evoked with clients and when our resonance circuits are picking up information directly from our clients' experience.
  • Differentiating between using our intuitive and resonant qualities (a central aspect of the relational process of NARM) & allowing the  entanglement of our own unresolved material  to cause distress & an internal sense of pressure for us as helpers
  • Gaining greater awareness of our (often unconscious) impulses to make something happen for our clients & use the NARM™ persepctive to create the space for a client's organic process to emerge 
  • Understanding how to use our own experiences effectively in the therapeutic process, & have a greater sense of ease as helpers, & a greater sense of trust in our clients' capacity to access their internal healing resources.

 

 

PART THREE

Shame: Navigating Patterns of Hidden

Shame, Guilt & Self Hatred

NARM™ brings a new perspective to understanding and working with shame and guilt. In this program we explore the hidden dimensions of shame and guilt. We look at how to work clinically with complex shame dynamics, even in its very subtle forms.

 

Instead of looking at them as emotions that become fixed within us, we understand shame and guilt as a process, and not a state.  We recognize the process of shame as a mechanism that ultimately serves to protect the attachment relationship and how this ultimately leads to an identity based in toxic shame.

 

Some areas we will be covering:
  • The difference between toxic shame and guilt & healthy shame and guilt
  • Shame and Guilt as the guardians helplessness, hopelessness, and despair
  • Shame and its relationship to the core dilemma
  • Shame as a mechanism that protects the attachment relationship
  • Shame and splitting
  • Looking at shame as a process not a state; as a verb not a noun
  • Guilt, Shame and their relationship to distorted aggression
  • How to recognize Shame in ourselves and clients in its subtler forms
  • How to address Shame and Guilt dynamics in the NARM approach

PART FOUR

Spirituality: Addressing Identity from both a Psychological & Spiritual Perspective

How do we create an increasingly quieter place within ourselves?  

What might be in our way to experiencing greater states of connection, aliveness, pleasure and freedom?

A key process within the NARM™ approach is “Disidentification”: the dissolving of identity, shaped by early trauma and the corresponding adaptive survival styles, which is both a psychological and spiritual process.  In NARM™, we explore deeply into the nature of the sense of self.

 

Some areas we will review in this program:

  • The psychological understanding of identity vs the spiritual understanding of identity
  • Supporting Disidentification in the NARM process
  • Nature of consciousness in the psychotherapeutic process
  • Viewing neurobiological mechanisms from a non-mechanistic perspective
  • Mindfulness and Disidentification
  • Living in the present moment vs viewing ourselves and the world through the lens of past experience
  • Identity as a reflection of emptiness-fullness
  • Spirituality and the body
  • Using psychological tools in understanding Self from a deeper spiritual perspective

As we gradually free ourselves from the shackles of our identity, we can learn to be more fully present

with others in our lives, while staying more fully connected within ourselves.
