On 9 and 11 July 2026, the AEDP Institute will host Feeling Felt: Expanding Receptive Affective Capacity, an Intermediate seminar presented live online by Senior Faculty member Kate Halliday, LCSW.
At the heart of the seminar is a simple but powerful premise: expanding and deepening Receptive Affective Capacity, the experience of “feeling felt,” turbo-charges AEDP’s consolidation of brain growth and neural integration. Many clinicians notice that after a full day of intense AEDP sessions they emerge not depleted but invigorated, and that the transformative qualities of authentic relational experience begin to find their way into everyday life with friends, family, and colleagues.
This seminar offers an opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge of AEDP and to deepen understanding of how the model works from the bottom up and inside out, beginning with the clinician’s own experience. Through didactic and video presentations, participants strengthen their clinical application of AEDP principles and build confidence and effectiveness in practice, while connecting with a wider AEDP community.
Offered across two half-days of seminar instruction, this track is ideal for those who prefer focused learning without experiential practice. It is open to AEDP Level 1 graduates of Immersion, and those who have also completed Essential Skills may find it easier to grasp the more advanced AEDP content.
For therapists who want to deepen their understanding of AEDP and their capacity for authentic relational connection, this is a rich invitation to learn from one of the model’s most experienced teachers.
