Why do I feel this? Because he describes types of adaptive behaviours that are based on childhood neglect. I have found listening to this book (which would be different to attending therapy), retraumatising however, so if you are in the throngs of PTSD behavior be mindful that this introduction to NARM may not be for you. It would probably suit someone with a background in meditation/prayer/spirituality but it is not necessary, nor does it require you to have a belief system. NARM goes against that model and creates an effective recovery program for those that are open minded. The NARM approach says this is because it is 're-traumatizing' in traditional therapy models I have been told this is necessary in order to get better. I have always had a dreadful experience even when fully connected and feeling secure with the psychotherapist. This challenged my perception of my experiences in therapy.
