Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Healing Shame and Guilt: A Conversation with Co-authors Dr. Laurence Heller and Stephan K. Niederwieser
Q: What can parents do to foster a healthier sense of self in their children according to your work?
Parents should focus on being emotionally present and attuned, recognize their own triggers through personal work, and provide secure, gentle connection rather than striving for perfection. The goal is to support intersubjective connection and allow children to express needs safely, reducing the risk of chronic shame becoming part of their identity.

Q: How does the NARM approach differ from protocol-driven therapies when dealing with shame?
NARM uses organizing principles rather than fixed protocols, centering the client's stated needs and inner experience. The therapist stays curious, avoids blame, and helps clients disidentify from old self-shaming patterns, guiding change through ongoing relational attunement rather than prescriptive steps.
