If you’re a therapist or coach, you’ve probably heard this from many clients: “I just want to be happy.” Or maybe you’ve said it yourself.

But what happens when we try to feel only one way?

🔹 Blocking emotions creates deeper disconnection.
🔹 Suppressing “negative” feelings limits emotional capacity.
🔹 Embracing the full spectrum of human experience creates the foundation for true healing.

In NARM, we don’t aim for “just being happy”—we support clients in expanding their capacity for all emotions and experience. By allowing space for emotions to be fully felt to completion, we foster resilience, connection, and a more integrated sense of self.

The 4 Pillars of NARM: A Relational Approach to Trauma Healing 🌱✨

The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is grounded in 4 key pillars that support clients in healing from complex trauma:

1️⃣ Inviting the Intention for Change – Establishing relational consent and helping clients reconnect with their true desires.

2️⃣ Exploring Internal Obstacles – Using inquiry to help clients understand their internal world, recognizing, and helping to remove barriers to healing.

3️⃣ Supporting Self-Agency – Supporting clients to reconnect with their ability to shape their own internal experience, their adult selves, and the fostering of their autonomy.

4️⃣ Transforming Trauma Patterns – Facilitating psychobiological shifts that promote regulation, connection, and integration, ultimately supporting healing, growth, and transformational connection to self, others, and the world around them.

Each pillar focuses on relationship, curiosity, and agency, providing a powerful framework for trauma recovery. How do you incorporate relational healing into your work?
