How to Set Transformance Into Action by Natasha Prenn, LCSW
Transformational Affects and Core State in AEDP: The Emergence and Consolidation of Joy, Hope, Gratitude and Confidence in (the Solid Goodness) of the Self by Diana Fosha, PhD and Eileen Russell, PhD
November 12, 2025
Drawing from The Emergence and Consolidation of Joy, Hope, Gratitude, and Confidence in the Solid Goodness of the Self (Journal of Psychotherapy Integration), Diana and Eileen describe how, within a positively coordinated therapeutic relationship, dyadic regulation of painful emotion naturally gives rise to positive affects and states that foster resilience and emotional flourishing.
By closely engaging with the session transcript presented in the article, we will inhabit both the therapist’s and the patient’s perspectives, examining how relational interventions facilitate the transformation of unbearable affects and give rise to resilience and flourishing.
