Dr. Laurence Heller developed the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to address developmental trauma, integrating attachment theory, somatic psychology, and relational therapy. NARM focuses on both cognitive and somatic aspects of trauma, helping individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions to foster healing. Central to Heller's approach is restoring a sense of agency and promoting healthy relational patterns, empowering individuals to achieve deeper emotional well-being.
