Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy: Translating Theory into Clinical Practice

"AEDP seeks to make neuroplasticity happen clinically. Championing our innate healing capacities, AEDP has roots in and resonances with many disciplines — among them interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, emotion theory and affective neuroscience, body-focused approaches, and last but not least, transformational studies. Through undoing of aloneness, and through the in-depth processing of difficult emotional and relational experiences, as well as new transformational experiences, the AEDP clinician fosters the emergence of new and healing experiences for the client, and with them resources, resilience and a renewed zest for life."

Course Description:

Appropriate for both those new to Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and practitioners with AEDP experience, this workshop will be a nuts-and-bolts dig into how to do AEDP.  Ms. Prenn will use a balance of videotape, practice exercises, and user-friendly course material to make AEDP's complexity simple and practical.  Attendees will head back to work armed with immediately applicable clinical interventions and a framework for clinical practice. 

Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Use various ways to microtrack and unpack client-therapist interactions.
2. Understand, use and define different kinds of self-disclosure.
3. Utilize specific interventions to build and expand here-and-now emotional and relational capacities.
4. Understand metaprocessing as a key intervention in AEDP to strengthen attachment bonds.
5. Explore somatic correlates of emotion to harness change for the better.
6. Use the ‘triangle of experience’ to work with core feelings, anxiety and defenses.
