Unravel Shame & Reclaim Your Self

The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is a powerful, somatic-based therapy designed for healing complex trauma—especially wounds rooted in early relational dynamics, identity, and self-worth.

Where many models focus on symptoms or cognitive insight, NARM gently works at the level of the autonomic nervous system and relational patterns, helping you shift long-standing strategies of survival that may have once protected you—but now keep you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re never quite enough.

What Is NARM?

NARM approaches trauma with deep respect and without labeling you as broken. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” it asks, “What happened to me—and how did I adapt in order to survive it?”

It helps you see how your early relationships—with caregivers, culture, and environment—shaped your capacity for connection, emotional expression, and self-regulation. These adaptive patterns often form before we have language, and they continue to live in the body as implicit memories, shaping how we relate to ourselves and the world.

NARM is not about digging into or reliving the past.
Instead, it brings awareness to how old survival strategies are still playing out in your present life—quietly influencing your sense of agency, your emotional availability, your boundaries, and your capacity for connection. With curiosity, compassion, and support, these patterns begin to loosen, making space for something more authentic to emerge.

NARM Can Help You:

• Heal chronic shame, self-doubt, or a sense of defectiveness
  

• Reconnect with your body and emotions after long periods of disconnect
  

• Shift survival strategies like people-pleasing, emotional numbing, or over-functioning
  

• Develop healthier boundaries without guilt or collapse
  

• Increase capacity for intimacy, trust, and mutual connection
  

• Reclaim a deeper sense of vitality, presence, and self-worth
  

This Work Is for You If:

• You’ve done years of talk therapy but still feel stuck in familiar patterns
  

• You feel like you’re always “holding it together” but inside feel numb, anxious, or lonely
  

• You struggle to feel truly connected—to yourself, your body, or the people in your life
  

• You’ve internalized the belief that you’re too much, not enough, or fundamentally flawed
  

• You long for a deeper, more regulated and embodied sense of Self
  

Why NARM Feels Different

Unlike traditional trauma therapies that focus primarily on memory recall or catharsis, NARM works in the present moment—tracking how early patterns are being re-enacted right now in your body, thoughts, and relational dynamics.

There’s no need to go into every detail of your past. Instead, you’ll gently build capacity to stay with yourself, notice what’s happening internally, and begin to trust your own natural rhythm of healing and integration.

In our work together, you’ll be met with deep attunement and support—not to fix you, but to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that were never broken, only shaped by experience.

NARM is a pathway home—to who you were before you learned to adapt.

It’s a process of remembering yourself underneath the layers of coping, shame, and performance. Of slowly reclaiming your aliveness, your boundaries, your voice, and your ability to truly connect.
