Becoming an AEDP™ Certified Supervisor

“AEDP supervisors are taught an expert “recipe” for well-rounded, left-brain and right-brain learning. The same tenets of creating a delicious meal apply to AEDP supervision and training: explicit care, measurement, and balance are key. What is created together is a transformative, visceral, and professionally effective experience that — in one moment — therapeutically strengthens the core self of the therapist, nurturing emergent professional potential, receptive affective capacity, presence and psychological flexibility — and in the next — is infused with AEDP theory and essential skills, connected to the viewing of the videotaped client and session being shared between us.”
