Clinically Oppressed: Addressing the Trauma of Marginalization with AEDP
An AEDP Institute Sponsored, AEDP Metro NYC Live Seminar
with AEDP Faculty Member Ben Medley, LCSW
Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists, Psychoanalysts, Social Workers, Counselors, MFTs, MD’s, Nurses, Creative Arts Therapists, in mental health and the healing arts and sciences.
This course is for Beginning/Intermediate levels.
Marginalized populations and people experience high levels of stress and negative life events as a result of their minoritized status. Oppression denies people involvement in economic, political, cultural and social activities due to their identification in regards to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, socio-economic status and/or religion. The more these aspects of identity intersect, the more there can be an increase in marginalization and psychological distress. This stress occurs not only as result of direct experiences of discrimination, prejudice and oppression, but also from a lack of connection to others and the culture at large.
AEDP views trauma as being alone with and overwhelmed by unregulated affective experiences. Oppression can not only result in disconnect from others on an institutional, societal and inter-relational level, but also from the self on an intra-relational level. The external messages associated with racism, ableism, sexism, heterosexism and classism (to name a few of the “isms”) can also be internalized and negatively affect views of self and others. In essence, an insecure attachment relationship can be formed on any or all levels of connection, causing distress, emotional suffering and unbearable aloneness.
With a focus on undoing aloneness and creating secure attachment in the therapeutic relationship, AEDP, when employed with cultural humility, offers the clinician the theoretical knowledge and operational tools well-suited for addressing experiences of marginalization and oppression. By authentically recognizing and exploring the effects of oppression, and the emotions associated with these experiences, the AEDP therapist seeks to dyadically co-create new, positive experiences by deeply processing core affect in relationship to a supportive, authentic and emotionally present therapist. For the marginalized client, and perhaps even therapist, this creates the possibility of undoing internalized messages and relating to self and others in new, healing ways.
.
By attending this workshop, participants will learn to:.
- Define how marginalization and oppression can be traumatic
- Name and define 3 types of microaggressions
- Describe how marginalization can negatively affect a client’s relationship to the self
- Recognize and know how to explicitly explore experiences of marginalization and oppression with your clients
- Demonstrate the AEDP stance, undo aloneness and foster secure connection with marginalized clients from oppressed social groups
- Identify and work with experiences of oppression explicitly in each of the 4 States of the AEDP model
- Recognize your own experiences of marginalzation, power and privilege and how this can intersect with your clients’ own identity and experiences
