Healing from developmental and relational trauma may not always feel like relief first.
As someone's capacity increases, they often become more aware of sensations, emotions, or internal conflict that were previously held at a distance.
In NARM, we understand this not as something going wrong, but as part of a reorganization process—where disconnection gives way to greater contact with actual experience.
Healing isn’t about chasing relief.
It’s about increasing capacity to be with what’s real.
