Originally designed for treating C-PTSD or developmental trauma, NARM identifies and strengthens our core drive for connection and healing. Going far beyond self-affirmations or boosting esteem, the NARM approach to overcoming chronic shame targets the roots rather than just the symptoms, helping us truly shed shame, develop self-confidence, and find inner peace.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57495514251637,"sku":"9798889842897","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9798889842897.jpg?v=1786618179"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-laurence-heller.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
