#Solo by Mannah - My Critical Therapeutic Shift - Why I love NARM: NeuroAffective Relational Model

Trash Can Therapist? No, thank you! But with Pluto in Scorpio conjunct my South Node and trine to my Sun in the eighth house, I have plenty of experience treating myself that way. Now, however, I’ve stepped into the greater potential of a therapist though—present/intense and ready for the deep dive. In this chapter, you’ll hear me talk about a critical learning moment that changed everything in how I work with people. Learning a specific way of listening was a game changer. The NARM method, developed by Dr. Laurence Heller, is something I now use, and here is my humble attempt to outline the core of the model. TAP in with me, Mannah, and you’ll hear: -What made me *not* want to be a therapist! - What totally made me *want* to be a therapist! - How I discovered NARM for complex trauma while looking for a 4-5 year psychotherapy program (which NARM isn’t, but hey, it came up on Google!) - Attracting what you desire - Spiritual teachers who say you don’t need therapy anymore?!?!? - The difference between social work and therapeutic healing work - Listening to clients’ complaints without absorbing them, but instead, latching onto the essence—using that neurodivergent superhero power! :) - Increasing capacity for connection - Becoming an expert in your own internal world - Emotional completion and receiving the message in the emotions - Shutting down emotions and not knowing what you feel because someone taught you emotions weren’t productive or valid - Fighting yourself creates internal conflict or self-sabotage - Increasing the capacity for connection by integrating emotions - Adaptations that become identity: psychobiological patterns - How this approach aligns with astrology - How to heal through embodied adult consciousness MUCH LOVE -Mannah ---https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/
