Enjoying reading this new book by Dr. Heller NeuroAffective Relational Model - NARM Training Institute Shame is one the top reasons clients come to see me. Eager to learn more about how to help people process and integrate shame in their lives.

Healing Shame and Guilt is out now!

Today marks the release of the newest NARM book:
Healing Shame and Guilt (from North Atlantic Books)
by Dr. Laurence Heller and Stephan Niederwieser.

This book's publication is an important moment for our community. Many of us have been waiting for a deeper articulation of how NARM understands and works with shame—and this book offers that in a clear and comprehensive way.

Rather than approaching shame as an emotion, this work explores it as a layered process that impacts identity, connection, and how we relate to ourselves.

Written for both helping professionals and those on their own path of growth, it brings together decades of clinical insight into an accessible framework.

(For our NARM community in Germany, the German edition of Healing Shame and Guilt will be released on June 24. You can preorder it here: https://tinyurl.com/German-HSG)

For those in the back! ...and add public education and the arts matter!!

Many people reading this did not have the experience of co-regulation with mature, healthy adults growing up— so what emotional regulation we did learn, we learned from fictional characters in books & movies & TV.

Art matters. Especially when our environment failed or hurt us.

There's breathing and there's *breathing*...

Complex trauma survivors have to consciously, purposefully remind ourselves to breathe more often than you'd think.

"But if you're alive, you're obviously breathing!"' Okay, but there's breathing..& there's breathing.

Breathing & eating are rarely simple for trauma survivors.

Oh man. The bibliotherapy and cinematherapy I have received...😊

Here's to the books, characters, shows, movies, myths, and other stories that were there for us when nobody else was.

Stories save us. Don't ever think they don't.

Resilience doesn't necessarily mean someone is doing okay...

I believe the world does not understand or adequately acknowledge the impact of events, traumatic & otherwise, on humans, nor does it teach or offer us effective tools & strategies to manage that impact.

"Resilience" is not a tool. "Suck it up" is not a strategy.

Today is Rare Disease Day. Between 25,000 million and 30,000 million people in the United States are affected by rare diseases. It is important, more now than ever, that we continue to show up and support those who are suffering. That check-in phone call or text goes a long way. When we reach out, we send out a lifeline.
