Dr. Julie Brown Yau’s 30-year background in psychological, somatic, and spiritual traditions provides a unique depth of knowledge and experience.

"As our conception of consciousness expands 
to include what was once unconscious, 
a greater awareness develops that embraces others, 
the natural world and the cosmos, 
while potentiating opening to primordial awareness." 

"The manifestation of the imaginal may allow one to reclaim their authenticity, and to open to the truth of nondual awareness, 
or simply the inclusion of the imaginal in one’s everyday practice will assist with one’s growth and illumination."

Dr. Julie Brown Yau Biography

"I have a 33-year background in psychological, somatic, and spiritual traditions, which provides a unique depth of knowledge and experience.
Born from a fascination of what lies below our conscious awareness, and how trauma shapes our lives, I gained a PhD in somatic depth psychology, and master’s degrees in both spiritual psychology and depth psychology. 
I specialize in developmental, inherited, and shock trauma, and have studied and taught with some of the leading experts in the field of trauma and somatics today. 
I am also a Dream Pattern Analyst and a trained yoga teacher.
I am an authorized teacher of the Tantric Eastern lineage tradition Sri Vidya, of which I offer courses and individual training. The combination of resolving trauma and spiritual practice can help us to both develop and grow into a profound sense of wholeness while discovering our true nature.
I am also an author, currently working on my third book.
I work with individuals and groups, in person and online, across the globe."

Developmental trauma isn’t only about what may have happened to you but also what didn’t happen for you in your developing years—your essential needs weren’t met, you didn’t experience safety in your body and emotions, and you couldn’t express yourself authentically in the world. The experience of not having your needs met as a child is very frightening and simply too much to bear, so typically you will disconnect from the unbearable feelings and emotions. Sadly, the effects on your body and brain don’t just go away. It can mean a lifelong impact of nervous system dysregulation, a mind filled with unrelenting negative beliefs and feelings about yourself and the world, and bodily discomfort.

Julie Brown Yau and Brad Kammer enjoy a free-flowing conversation on trauma healing, spirituality and the effectiveness of the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) in supporting personal growth. 

Julie Brown Yau is a Somatic Psychotherapist and NARM Master Practitioner from Southern California who specializes in integrating depth psychology and spirituality into her trauma healing practice. 

Brad Kammer is a Somatic Psychotherapist, NARM Master Practitioner and NARM Faculty Trainer from Northern California who is interested in how trauma healing can be a catalyst for personal and collective transformation. 

Together, they discuss how the NARM approach supports clients in increasing freedom from family of origin conditioning, patterns and trauma and in the process supports connection to something larger.

This "freedom from identity" is an often-surprising, and exciting by-product of the NARM approach for healing complex trauma. 

The Neuro Affective Relational Model is a powerful approach for addressing attachment, developmental and relational trauma. 


Julie Brown Yau and Brad Kammer continue their conversation 
(from Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uto-I...) on trauma healing, spirituality and the effectiveness of the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) in supporting personal growth. 

Together, they discuss how some spiritual and meditation practices can trigger old trauma patterns and overwhelm our sense of self leading to dissociation, fragmentation and terror states. 

Often, people use spirituality as what we refer to as "spiritual bypass", and how important it is to not skip important steps of healing. They discuss how somatic-oriented approaches like NARM can support trauma healing and spiritual seekers alike. 

The Neuro Affective Relational Model is a powerful approach for addressing attachment, developmental and relational trauma.


As our conception of consciousness expands to include what was once unconscious, a greater awareness develops that embraces others, the natural world and the cosmos, while potentiating opening to primordial awareness. These important dimensions will be discussed and explored in the context of healing trauma. The process by which a trauma heals is inherently turbulent, often complex and rarely occurs in a linear sequence; however, each dimension of recovery provides a broader context and wider possibility of meaning to the individual’s experience and consciousness. 

When trauma is healed, especially early trauma that arrests the development of aspects of our consciousness, an authentic spiritual awakening may occur, allowing people to reconnect to themselves and the world. Included in the presentation on resolving trauma, will be a focus on the imaginal, the intermediary realm that links the sensuous world of matter and the invisible world of mystery and spirit. 

Our culture has stripped the body and imagination of its mystery and numinosity, yet these elements are vital in most spiritual traditions for awakening. We may benefit from recognizing that the separation of the psyche from the spiritual domain is the root of a large problem. The psyche has been alienated not only from spirit but also from nature, the body, and people’s very lives, partly through the severing of imagination. 

We will explore how the imagination holds a reality creating potential, which is often uncovered through trauma, altered states of consciousness and extreme emotional states. 

The manifestation of the imaginal may allow one to reclaim their authenticity, and to open the truth of nondual awareness, or simply the inclusion of the imaginal in one’s everyday spiritual practice will assist with one’s spiritual illumination.
