A gift for Transforming Trauma listeners: The NARM Training Institute presents the special topic webinar NARM and Heartfulness from the NARM Inner Circle online program.

Dr. Laurence Heller and NARM Senior Trainer Brad Kammer explore the importance of integrating the heart with the mind during the healing process. Larry and Brad reflect on the survival functions of disconnecting from and shutting down the heart based on early loss, heartbreak, and the impact of developmental trauma. They touch on the importance of reconnecting to the heart as part of the healing process, the role that grieving plays in supporting increased heartfulness, and why closing one’s heart in an adult intimate relationship affects the capacity for intimacy.
