Workshop Description

We are wired to heal. Despite the painful or traumatic experiences that lead us to hide or banish our true selves, we have a fundamental capacity for self-righting and resuming impeded growth.

AEDP is an evidence-supported psychotherapy model that aims to give clients corrective emotional and relational experiences that mobilize positive neuroplasticity. With the help and support of a sensitive and skillfully attuned AEDP therapist, clients are able to face and process previously overwhelming or avoided experiences, in the service of positive transformation. AEDP’s, affirming, emotionally engaged, affect regulating, and security-engendering therapeutic stance helps clients move through this process and emerge from the experience with a felt sense of relief, clarity, calm, hope, resourcefulness, and resilience.

In this session, you’ll be introduced to foundational aspects of the AEDP theoretical framework and key clinical interventions of the model. You’ll learn how through the co-creation of a safe and secure base in the therapeutic relationship, defensive barriers are softened and deep processing of traumatic emotional and relational experiences can lead to profound healing and transformation.

Those interested can also register for a more in depth training, for which this online introductory presentation is a prerequisite. Find out more about the 2-day training on AEDP in Action here.
