How NARM Supports Trauma-Informed Bodywork: A Conversation with The Transforming Trauma Podcast

Podcasts
Written By Mark Olson

What if the same principles that make a great psychotherapy session also make for a powerful massage therapy session?

That’s the question at the heart of Episode 036 of Transforming Trauma, where host Sarah Buino interviews Dr. Mark Olson, neuroscientist, bodyworker, and Director of the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork (PCAB) in Kauai, Hawaii.

PCAB isn’t your typical massage therapy school. It blends bodywork, somatic psychology, contemplative practice, and affective neuroscience—all through a trauma-informed lens. And at the center of its evolving approach is the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM).
