Research and Evidence-Based Analysis for Exploring the Science and Art of NARM with Salman Alawadi

In this episode of Transforming Trauma, Emily is joined by Salman Alawadi, a NARM practitioner and Ph.D. candidate in Research, Measurement, and Evaluation at the University of Miami, for a fascinating discussion about the challenges of developing an evidence-based standard for NARM and distilling that research into accessible data.

In medical terminology, "evidenced-based" is a gold star endorsement awarded to recurrent standards of proof that arise from comparison studies of a specific treatment protocol or prevention. Is it possible to validate NARM's efficacy using those same evidence-based standards? Should we? Salman calls out psychology's fixation with the medical model and advocates for creating more rigorous criteria to understand a psychological intervention.

He holds a Master of Science in Applied Statistics and Psychometrics from Boston College and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Research, Measurement, and Evaluation at the University of Miami.
