In this bonus episode, I dive into the topic of unmet needs in fundamentalist environments, specifically focusing on developmental trauma. Drawing from Lawrence Heller's book 'Healing Developmental Trauma,' I explore the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), which emphasizes the core needs of connection, attunement, trust, autonomy, and love/sexuality. I share my personal therapy journey and experiences growing up in a fundamentalist cult, illustrating how unmet needs impact emotional regulation, relationships, and mental health. The episode aims to provide insight into recognizing and addressing these challenges through therapy and personal growth.
