Who is this online course for?
This online seminar is for professionals and students in mental health and the healing arts and sciences including: Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists, Psychoanalysts, Social Workers, Counselors, MFTs, MD’s, Nurses, Creative Arts Therapists, and Masters & Doctoral students as well as soon-to-be licensed Interns & Trainees.
For therapists new to AEDP, this workshop will provide you with a starter kit of these techniques. For those of you who are more experienced in the model, this workshop will collaboratively build upon what you know and address common challenges we face when working experientially as we watch actual clinical video over the course of the day.
NOTE: The clinical case is not presented in video format (instead there is a transcript) due to the rules of ethics and confidentiality.
About this course
Attachment, embodiment, resilience and transformation are all buzzwords in the psychotherapy zeitgeist. Many models reference one or more of these concepts as their core therapeutic principles. Fewer models explicitly translate these broad concepts into specific and refined intervention strategies that operate moment-to-moment in the clinical process.
In other words, understanding change processes intellectually is a very different skill set from working with them experientially in clinical work.
AEDP, with its dual clinical focus on:
- directly translating attachment research into the clinical practice of fostering secure attachment and
- naming, tracking and experientially amplifying the specific, somatic, moment-to-moment markers of positive transformation, offers specific, strategic techniques that foster a client feeling deeply recognized and understood, safe and secure, and as a result, curious and increasingly capable in relation to Self and others.
This online workshop is designed to lift the AEDP theory we will be learning off the page (or Powerpoint slide) and deliver it to you as a lived, embodied experience.
Main Points
Main Points of Workshop:
- The main theoretical foundations for AEDP: an attachment-based, emotion focused, experiential, body-centered, and transformation-based models
- How to utilize nonverbal, somatically focused “Right-Brain to Right-Brain” interventions in the service of facilitating secure attachment
- How to track somatic and affective markers moment-to- moment in order to soften defenses and gain access to healthy emotion
- How to apply the foundational AEDP technique of experiential meta-processing to guide your work moment to moment in a session
- How to share your own emotional experience in ways that deepen rather than divert from the healing process
- How to stay “dropped down” and focused on experiential exploration of emotion when the urge to explain wants to overtake you or your client
