1. Describe the adolescent stage of development from a NARM perspective 2. Explain the impact of early Complex Trauma on Separation-Individuation in adolescence and emerging-adult consciousness 3. Conceptualize compliant/defiant behavioral patterns from a complex trauma perspective 4. Apply skills for normalizing adolescent development and providing attuned support
