Integrating the Spiritual and Psychological for Healing Complex Trauma with Igal Harmelin

Igal Hamelin is a spiritual director, meditation teacher, and a NARM Master Practitioner. In addition to working one on one with people, he also offers meditative attunement workshops for therapists. Brad Kammer talks with Igal about his spiritual journey, his interest in psychology, and how he integrates the two today.  They discuss collective and generational trauma, and how suffering can often lead people to explore spirituality. Igal is a second-generation Holocaust survivor, and from an early age was aware of how unsafe life can be.  Igal tells Brad that he learned about NARM in his study with Thomas Hübl (who has also been a guest on Transforming Trauma - to listen to that episode, click here). When Igal first learned about NARM, he knew he wanted to become trained in the model. He shares that once he began his training, he felt very much at home in the NARM community. About Igal: Igal Harmelin is a spiritual director and meditation teacher. He is a rabbinical student at the Aleph Ordination Program. He is also a NARM Master Practitioner in private practice in New York City. His website is igalharmelin.com.
