Description

Healing Developmental Trauma: A Guide to Coping with Childhood Experiences. This comprehensive guide offers clear guidance for coping with childhood trauma, drawing from somatic-based psychotherapy and neuroscience. Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre identify five biologically based organizing principles that underlie many emotional problems and challenges, including the need for connection, attunement, trust, autonomy, and love-sexuality. The authors introduce the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a method that integrates bottom-up and top-down approaches to regulate the nervous system and resolve distortions of identity. By focusing on clients' strengths, resources, and resiliency in the present moment, NARM aims to integrate the experience of connection that sustains our physiology, psychology, and capacity for relationship. By understanding how early trauma affects self-regulation, self-image, and relationships, readers can develop a deeper understanding of their own experiences and work towards healing and integration.
