This seminar is intended for Psychologists, Psychoanalysts, Social Workers, Counselors/Marriage and Family Therapists, Creative Arts Therapists. Course Content Level: Beginner + Intermediate
Seminar Description:
Attachment, embodiment, resilience and transformation are all buzzwords in the psychotherapy zeitgeist. Many models reference one or more of these concepts as their core therapeutic principles. Fewer models explicitly translate these broad concepts into specific and refined intervention strategies that operate moment-to-moment in the clinical process. In other words, understanding change processes intellectually is a very different skill set from working with them experientially in clinical work. AEDP, with its dual clinical focus on: a) directly translating attachment and resiliency research into the clinical practice of fostering a greater sense of security within oneself even in an often insecure world and b) naming, tracking and experientially amplifying the specific, physiological, moment-to-moment markers of positive transformation, offers specific, strategic techniques that foster a client feeling deeply recognized and understood, safe enough and secure enough, and as a result, curious and increasingly capable in relation to Self and others.
This seminar is designed to lift the AEDP theory we will be learning off the page (or Powerpoint slide) and deliver it to you as a lived, embodied experience. For therapists new to AEDP, this workshop will provide you with a starter kit of these techniques. For those of you who are more experienced in the model, this seminar will collaboratively build upon what you know and address common challenges we face when working experientially as we watch actual clinical video over the course of the day.
Main Points of Seminar:
- The main theoretical foundations for AEDP: an attachment-based, emotion focused, experiential, body-centered, and transformation-based model
- How to utilize nonverbal, physiologically focused “Right-Brain to Right-Brain” interventions in the service of facilitating secure attachment
- How to track physiological and affective markers moment-to- moment in order to soften defenses and gain access to adaptive emotions
- How to apply the foundational AEDP technique of experiential meta-processing to guide your work moment to moment in a session
- How to share your own emotional experience in ways that deepen rather than divert from the healing process
- How to stay “dropped down” and focused on experiential exploration of emotion when the urge to explain wants to overtake you or your client
Learning Objectives:
- Name 3 core concepts of AEDP
- Utilize 1 right brain to right brain intervention to create greater safety
- Practice moment-to-moment tracking
- Express judicious self-disclosure of therapist’s experience to foster connection, soften defenses and regulate shame
- Classify defense, anxiety and emotion
- Practice the intervention of meta processing
