At ROOTs Transition, we utilize the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to help clients with complex and relational trauma.
NARM is a cutting-edge therapeutic model for addressing trauma that employs a mindfulness-based treatment to help clients learn self-regulation and explore a more authentic identity. By connecting clients to parts of the self that are organized, functional and coherent, NARM helps clients to counteract the disconnection and dysregulation they are experiencing. This is the foundation for all we do at ROOTs, from our employee development, to our culture, to our client care.
