We will integrate exercises from Martin’s new book Integral Relationship Practice and the upcoming Integral Relationship Online Training #8, from Nov. 10, 2024 to May 18, 2025 with the NeuroAffective [sic] Relational Model (NARM) and their new book The Practical Guide For Healing Developmental Trauma, by Laurence Heller and Brad J. Kammer:
Session 2:
– Why the capacity for connection is our natural human state.
– When and why developmental childhood trauma disconnects us from self and others as adults as a survival mechanism.
–Â Shame-based identifications and pride based-based counteridentifications.
– Healing our connection survival style.
NARM is the perfect complement for Martin’s work, as it supports us in healing past complex developmental trauma that often prevents us from co-creating healthy Integral Love Relationships.
NARM has five organizing developmental themes that Martin already integrated into his new book Integral Relationship Practice:
1. Connection:Â We feel that we belong in the world. We are in touch with our body and our emotions and capable of consistent connection with others.
2. Attunement:Â Our ability to know what we need and to recognize, reach out for, and take in the abundance that life offers.
3. Trust:Â We have an inherent trust in ourselves and others. We feel safe enough to allow a healthy interdependence with others.
4. Autonomy:Â We are able to say no and set limits with others. We speak our mind without guilt or fear.
5. Love-Sexuality:Â Our heart is open and we are able to integrate a loving relationship with a vital sexuality.
To the degree that these five basic needs are met, we experience harmony in our love relationships.
To the degree that these basic needs are not met, we develop shame and pride based survival styles to try to manage the disconnection and dysregulation.
We will explore how these five pride and shame based survival styles and the NARM Healing cycle fit into the 14 Essential Dimensions of the Integral Relationship Model in our 12 practice events from Sunday August 18. to November 3. 2024.
