<p dir="ltr">Narcissists have a canny ability to repackage traits like arrogance, self-importance, and a lack of empathy and sell them as charm, intelligence, or sensitivity. This “playbook” of calculated behaviors allows them to avoid detection and continue manipulating close relations or entire groups.</p> <p dir="ltr">On this episode of Transforming Trauma, CTTC Director and NARM® Senior Trainer Brad Kammer welcomes Mark Vicente, the award-winning writer, director, podcaster, and producer, to discuss the personal awakening that eventually prompted him to leave the NXIVM cult and contribute to HBO’s documentary series The Vow and create the feature-length documentary The Narcissist's Playbook (currently in production). The pair delve into the role that narcissism plays in constructing cults and other high-control groups, as well as explore common narcissistic traits that impact individuals, groups, and societies. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>About Mark Vicente:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Mark Vicente</strong> is an author, speaker, and award-winning writer/director/producer from Johannesburg, South Africa. Growing up amid the atrocities in South Africa, he began questioning fundamental beliefs about human behavior, morality, cosmology, existentialism and mysticism at an early age. Unifying his love for science, philosophy, and film, Mark’s vision took shape with “What the BLEEP Do We Know!?”. He later released “Encender el Corazón”, a powerful film about Mexico’s kidnapping crisis. While the film touched many people deeply, it was by association supporting the criminal enterprise NXIVM. Mark withdrew the film and, alongside fellow whistleblowers, exposed the group, resulting in multiple arrests and prosecutions. His journey is chronicled in HBO’s 15-part documentary series “The Vow”. </p> <p dir="ltr">Mark has since focused on exposing the manipulative dynamics of high-control groups. He’s currently finishing “The Narcissist’s Playbook”, a feature documentary on narcissism, told through the unflinching accounts of four self-aware malignant narcissists, alongside insights from survivors, scientists, and mental health experts, filmed across seven countries.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Learn More:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.markvicente.com/">Website</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/markvicente/?hl=en">Instagram</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://episodes.fm/1646783869">Podcast</a></p> <p dir="ltr">To read the full show notes and discover more resources, visit <a href= "https://bit.ly/ttshownotes">https://complextraumatrainingcenter.com/transformingtrauma</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>SPACE:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>SPACE</strong> is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

<p dir="ltr">For all its popularity as a talking point, shame remains one of the least-documented human emotions. </p> <p dir="ltr">On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth is pleased to welcome back Dr. Laurence Heller, Ph.D., author, international trainer, and creator of the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®). The pair discuss the psychology of shame and its significant role in protecting attachments (or relationships) starting at a young age. This conversation also explores the benefits of a NARM-focused approach to shame and its impact on patients' personal agency, relationships, and quality of life. They also examine how shame, the emotion, informs behavioral patterns and how accessing anger can ultimately diffuse shame-based orientations. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>About Dr. Laurence Heller:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Dr. Laurence Heller</strong> is the creator of the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®), international trainer, and co-author of Healing Developmental Trauma: How Early Trauma Affects Self-Regulation, Self-Image and the Capacity for Relationship and Crash Course: A Self-Healing Guide to Auto Accident Trauma and Recovery. Dr. Heller co-authored, with CTTC Training Director Brad Kammer, The Practical Guide for Healing Developmental Trauma: Using the NeuroAffective Relational Model to Address Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resolve Complex Trauma which presents one of the first comprehensive therapeutic models for addressing complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), introducing an integrated mind-body approach for treating attachment, relational, cultural and intergenerational trauma. Dr. Heller's forthcoming book, co-authored with Stephan Konrad Niederwieser, is untitled at the time of this podcast’s release.</p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Heller is the Founder & Director of the NARM Training Institute and teaches regularly in the US and Europe.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Learn More:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://narmtraining.com/">NARM Training Institute</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/NARMTraining/">Facebook</a></p> <p dir="ltr">To read the full show notes and discover more resources, visit <a href= "https://bit.ly/ttshownotes">https://complextraumatrainingcenter.com/transformingtrauma</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>SPACE:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>SPACE</strong> is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

<p dir="ltr">For many mental health professionals, exploration into a client’s relationship with spirituality is often left out or actively avoided. Could honest and open discussions about a client’s spiritual perspective help them reconnect to themselves and others while also alleviating their symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression?</p> <p dir="ltr">On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth is honored to welcome Harvard psychologist, author, and educator David Rosmarin, PhD., to explore the connection between spirituality and mental health, modern psychology’s aversion to the topic, and the ancient Jewish wisdom behind the connections paradigm. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>About David Rosmarin:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-e8e6179d-7fff-d609-1910-dff7f7c23dec">Dr. David H.
