NARM Post-Masters Fellows Present
NARM Post-Masters Fellows Present is a free, on-demand webinar series created by our NARM Post-Masters Fellows—the most highly trained NARM practitioners outside of NARM Teachers.
Each webinar highlights a timely or practice-related theme and explores how the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®) approaches that theme. Drawing on their advanced training and extensive experience, NARM Fellows offer accessible presentations that illuminate the practice of NARM and how it can be integrated into diverse contexts—from the personal, to professional settings, to broader cultural conversations. This series is designed to support helping professionals, students of NARM, and anyone curious about trauma-informed, relational approaches to healing.
Please note that the on-demand webinars in this series do not qualify for CE credit.
Integrating Anger in the Therapeutic Process:
Using NARM to Support Self-Acceptance and Disidentification
with Ron Weber
Please note: This on-demand presentation is delivered in German and is presented with professionally translated English subtitles.
Many clients struggle with their relationship to anger because, as children, they learned that coming into contact with their own anger threatened the relationships that were crucial to their survival. Understanding this developmental process can fundamentally change how we work with anger in therapy. From a NARM perspective, anger plays a vital role in emotional completion, supporting agency, self-acceptance, and freedom from shame-based identifications.
In this free webinar, NARM Post-Masters Fellow Ron Weber explores how our early experiences can lead us to disconnect from anger in order to preserve attachment, and how this adaptation contributes to chronic shame and self-rejection. Drawing from the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Ron examines the relationship between anger, primary and secondary emotions, emotional completion, and disidentification, while offering practical guidance for recognizing and working with anger as it emerges in the therapeutic process. Participants are invited to deepen their understanding of anger as an essential internal resource for supporting self-acceptance, emotional completion, and disidentification from shame-based identifications.
Working with Anger in NARM with Benedikt Zeitner
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions. It’s often framed as something to control, avoid, fear, or even “overcome.” But from a NARM perspective, anger is not a problem. In fact, NARM views anger as a vital form of boundary energy that supports us in protecting ourselves, asserting our needs, and moving toward emotional completion.
In this free webinar, NARM Post-Masters Fellow Benedikt Zeitner explores how our early experiences influence our relationship with anger and the obstacles that can limit healthy access to it. Drawing from the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Benedikt highlights the difference between feeling anger and acting it out, the role of anger in emotional integration, and how each of the five NARM Adaptive Survival Styles often relates to anger in distinct ways.
Through the NARM lens, participants are invited to reflect on their own relationship with anger as an essential part of our capacity for connection, self-acceptance, and vitality.
Burning Ourselves Out: Adaptive Survival Styles at Work with Janet Bystrom Micek, LICSW
Burnout is more than stress or exhaustion—it’s often rooted in the survival strategies we developed as children when our core needs went unmet. These strategies helped us adapt and survive, but as adults, they can set us up for depletion, resentment, and disconnection.
In this free webinar, NARM Post-Masters Fellow Janet Bystrom Micek, LICSW explores how our Adaptive Survival Styles show up in the workplace and contribute to burning ourselves out. Drawing from the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Janet invites us to reflect on the deeper patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of overworking, caretaking, or striving for perfection—and how self-acceptance and compassion can begin to shift these patterns.
