Course Description:
Memory Reconsolidation at Work Across States in AEDP: Portrayals and Metaprocessing
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, the work of Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy (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 workshop 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:
- 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.
Prerequisites: AEDP Advanced Skills Courses are for licensed practitioners who are Level 2 or above; i.e. they have completed both AEDP Immersion and either AEDP Essential Skills (ES1), Core Training, or its equivalent in AEDP Supervision hours. If you are unsure of your Level and would like to participate in an Advanced Skills Course, please contact admin@aedpinstitute.org.
Daily routine: AEDP skills are introduced each morning first with their theoretical foundations and then with illustrations by way of clinical videotapes; skills are then practiced in group experiential exercises each afternoon.
Faculty, Experiential Assistants and Clinical Video: These are the hallmarks of all AEDP trainings. In AEDP, we pride ourselves in how thoroughly and deeply we seek to both undo professional aloneness and engage in rigorous clinical teaching. Our faculty are excellent as academics, clinicians and teachers. Participants deeply appreciate how effectively faculty presenters’ clinical video demonstrates “AEDP in action.” And faculty have skilled accompaniment from a large number of Experiential Assistants – up to and often including one Experiential Assistant for every three participants. Participants rave about the excellent attention and support they receive in this unique learning environment.
