Through emotional processing, we can help our clients break free from old patterns and realize
a broader range of personal and relational possibilities.
Course Description:
Early lessons about emotion and connection form instructional blueprints that get stored in memory systems outside of our awareness. Left unchallenged, they persist into adulthood and directly affect the ways we respond to our emotions and how we interact in our intimate relationships. With its focus on the here-and-now relational experience, AEDP is ideally suited to the unlocking and reworking internal working models of attachment. In particular, the use of portrayals in State Two and metaprocessing in State Three, primary interventions in AEDP, can be maximized to facilitate memory reconsolidation and deepen transformation. This course will focus on both the theory and technique of AEDP to illustrate how, through emotional processing, we can help our clients break free from old patterns and realize a broader range of personal and relational possibilities. This presentation will make extensive use of videotaped clinical material to illustrate how explicit therapeutic affective engagement and disclosure can facilitate emotional and relational transformation and memory reconsolidation.
Course Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the essential components of an internal working model of self and other.
- Recognize the different ways in which early relational learning shows up in the here-and-now experience of the client.
- List the factors that foster neuroplasticity and demonstrate how they can be put to good use in psychotherapy.
- Understand the essential elements needed to promote emotional processing and memory reconsolidation and how to make use of them in therapy.
- Identify and perform techniques to bypass and restructure defenses so as to allow for emotional experiencing/processing.
- Demonstrate ways of intervening across states Two and Three in AEDP that foster new learning and memory reconsolidation.
- Explain and demonstrate how one’s emotional engagement can be used to disconfirm early learning and promote a corrective relational experience in therapy.
- Explain and demonstrate how metaprocessing can be maximized to deepen transformation and the integration of new learning.
