In NARM therapy, the concept of "not knowing" plays a crucial role in fostering genuine inquiry. Larry emphasizes that starting from a place of not knowing allows both the therapist and client to approach problems with fresh perspectives, avoiding premature conclusions and preconceived notions. This openness is essential for effective exploration, enabling therapists to better understand the client’s true needs and challenges, rather than relying on pre-existing ideas or assumptions.
Brad highlights the contrast between NARM’s approach and traditional therapeutic models that emphasize having clear goals and predefined plans. In many conventional settings, there is a strong emphasis on knowing and planning, which can lead to rigidity and a fear of the unknown. NARM’s focus on inquiry, which embraces uncertainty and curiosity, challenges this norm and allows for a more dynamic and responsive therapeutic process.
Larry adds that this openness is not just about intellectual understanding but also involves working with the body. By integrating bodily awareness into the therapeutic process, NARM addresses both the disconnections and reconnections that occur at a deeper level. This body-oriented inquiry enriches the therapeutic experience, making it more immediate and effective, as it taps into underlying energies and promotes a deeper level of connection and understanding.
