Honouring and appreciating the younger parts of ourselves who helped us to survive is a huge part of working with complex/developmental trauma. What remarkable beings we are to be able to adapt to sometimes terrible failings in our environments in order to survive ❤️

Healing from developmental and relational trauma may not always feel like relief first.
As someone's capacity increases, they often become more aware of sensations, emotions, or internal conflict that were previously held at a distance.

In NARM, we understand this not as something going wrong, but as part of a reorganization process—where disconnection gives way to greater contact with actual experience.

Healing isn’t about chasing relief.
It’s about increasing capacity to be with what’s real.

Some parents are not able to let their child be separate and continue to consider the child as an extension of themselves, beating back all attempts made by the child to become separate. This can be especially common in parents with a destructive narcissistic pattern.
