Transformance Journal: Event Region: US & Canada, East

ES2 Boston 2016 – 2017

AEDP Advanced Skills (ES2) is for practitioners who have completed AEDP Essential Skills (ES1). Practical in its orientation, this course focuses on helping you both (i) learn new advanced AEDP skills, and (ii) cultivate and fine-tune the AEDP skills you already have. In both left-brained and right-brained ways, we aim to teach you specific interventions and techniques that are concrete and specific that will help you with your more challenging clients. While reviewing and deepening your AEDP essential skills throughout, the Advanced Training will teach the different advanced skill sets necessary to the in-depth practice of AEDP, with theoretical foundations and clinical videotapes, as well as with group experiential exercises.

How-To, Videotapes and Experiential Learning

The AEDP Advanced Skills course aims to help you to really “work it,” AEDP style, while troubleshooting what stands in the way of your doing so. This course focuses on learning new advanced skills and reviewing, deepening and improving basic AEDP skills. You will develop more of a felt sense of how to entrain the quintessentially AEDP practice of “stay with it and stay with me” and how to keep the transformational process unfolding in all states. Experienced AEDP practitioners will closely assist with the experiential practices.

AEDP Institute Senior Faculty SueAnne Piliero, Ph.D. will helm the Advanced Skills course. As course leader, SueAnne will lead off teaching Module 1, and thereafter will co-teach the remaining modules with other AEDP Institute Faculty members.

Please note: Essential Skills (ES1) is a prerequisite for this course.

AEDP for Couples Hybrid Course: Immersion + Essential Skills • July 2016

Retreat Style 5-Day Course

At the Columbia School of Social Work, New York, NY

July 11 – 15, 2016

 

 

Register Now!

This new AEDP for Couples course is a five-day, retreat style course that is a hybrid of our “traditional” Immersion and Essential Skills courses. This intensive course is designed to introduce this method that often leads to fast transformation of the internal working model of couples. The skill sets necessary to practice AEDP for Couples will be introduced with theoretical foundations and videotape illustrations in the morning, followed by group experiential exercises in the afternoon.

AEDP for Couples harnesses powerful biological drives to heal. The method, guided by the AEDP model, incorporates attachment research and Polyvagal theory. It creates a somatic holding of each of the couple members through the Seven Channels of Experience: Sensation, Emotion, Energetic, Movement, Auditory, Visual and Imaginal. From this place of safety, new experiences of love – and the longing to be loved – emerge and guide both the therapist and the couple to transformation.

The course will be co-taught by beloved teachers David Mars, Ph.D. and Karen Pando-Mars, MFT both senior faculty of the AEDP Institute. David Mars is the developer of AEDP for Couples.

In addition to presenting the theory and practice of AEDP for Couples this course will provide experiential exercises including small group supervision to help participants somatically track and affectively regulate two people at a time in couple treatment. Our goal is to equip therapists to effectively treat couples with greater confidence, enjoyment and ease.

Course Objectives: Participants will learn how to

  • Distinguish the four states of AEDP in couple treatment
  • Identify three ways to reduce defenses to build an atmosphere of safety
  • Detect and follow the healthiest aspects of each couple member
  • Demonstrate skills to regulate emotional reactivity in each couple member
  • Define and be able to regulate at least three early signs of dorsal vagal response (Porges’ Polyvagal Theory)
  • Utilize methods to assist couple members to process emotional experience to completion
  • Apply three types of healing portrayals to treat trauma in couple treatment
  • Recognize and use each of the Seven Channels of Experience (Sensation, Emotion, Energetic, Movement, Auditory, Visual and Imaginal)

Further Objectives: By the end of this program participants will be able to:

  • Recognize and facilitate the AEDP Four State model of transformation in the context of couple treatment.
  • Navigate defenses and anxiety to build an atmosphere for sharing regulated affective experiences in couples treatment.
  • Detect and follow transformance drives and selectively amplify positive affective experiences between the couple members.
  • Expand each partner’s receptive affective capacity.
  • Broaden the window of affect tolerance by addressing both deactivating (avoidant) and hyperactivating (anxious/ambivalent) attachment strategies.
  • Recognize and regulate the early signs of dorsal vagal response (Porges’ Polyvagal Theory) and dissociation related to unresolved trauma.
  • Help each couple member process emotional experience to completion in the presence of and accompanied by his or her partner.
  • Facilitate a range of healing portrayals to treat the trauma that underlies the stuckness and reactivity in each couples’ patterning.
  • Metaprocess change moments through all Seven Channels of Experience (Mars) to help transform each couple member’s internal working model to integrate and stabilize gains.

The clinical video featured each day will include heterosexual and same-sex couples in treatment for the following:

  • Chronic Dissociation and Distancing
  • Sexual abuse and neglect
  • Hot and Cold Conflict including the threat of divorce
  • Addiction issues
  • Infidelity
  • Sexual dysfunction

June 20th – June 24th, 2016

with Diana Fosha, Ph.D.
and members of the AEDP Institute Faculty

at Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (ERUUF)

COURSE CLOSED

This 5-Day Immersion Course in AEDP is intended for practitioners interested in AEDP, in its transformational theory, and in exploring its applications to the treatment of attachment trauma. Our focus is on AEDP and the theory and practice informing AEDP work at the edge of healing experience to repair attachment trauma. Making extensive use of clinical videotapes of actual therapy sessions, the aim of this course is to foster proficiency in the practice of AEDP, as well as facilitate its integration into clinical practices that make use of other experiential, body-focused, trauma-based, relational and/or psychodynamic methods.

Theoretical Framework: Clinical Teaching from Videotapes

AEDP seeks to undo the patient’s aloneness in the face of overwhelming suffering and to engage innate healing forces within, i.e., transformance, so as to heal trauma, restore vitality to self experience, and engender resilience.

AEDP engages the process of deep emotional change and features a theoretical framework for transformational work. Seamlessly and organically integrative of attachment, emotion, affective neuroscience, mother infant studies, experiential techniques and body based trauma treatments, AEDP’s attachment based transformational framework scaffolds AEDP’s hallmark moment-to-moment to moment clinical work, which traces an arc whereby emotional suffering is seamlessly transformed into flourishing. This course will teach you how to work at the edge of transformational experience and how to use somatic-affective transformational markers to guide interventions. You will learn how to use AEDP’s rigorous transformational phenomenology to closely track clinical processes. Extensive use of clinical videotapes will demonstrate hallmark AEDP techniques such dyadic affect regulation; experiential work with attachment experience; working with receptive affective experience, such as feeling felt, feeling seen, and feeling cared for; processing emotion through to a transformational shift; and the metaprocessing of transformational experience. Experiential exercises will allow you to both practice AEDP interventions and experience how brain, body, psyche and the experience of human connection and transformation intertwine to unleash deep emotional change and heal attachment trauma.

What Does an Average Day Look Like?

  • Each day begins with a 90-minute theoretical presentation grounding the clinical work in the conceptual framework of AEDP’s healing oriented transformational theory.
  • The remainder of the day will consist of clinical teaching revolving around clinical videotapes, with a focus on the phenomenology of transformation and techniques, and strategies of intervention. Special attention will be accorded to working with the experience of transformation, the healing affects, offering and receiving affirmation, and promoting core state experiencing, all in the context of transforming attachment trauma. In essence, this Immersion course is a soup-to-nuts course in AEDP.
  • The format will be highly interactive and emphasize the back and forth with participants, thus activating dyadic processes of communication. There will be an opportunity to practice aspects of AEDP through structured-in experiential exercises.

Videotapes Will Help You Learn and Practice How To:

  • entrain neuroplasticity and harness healing forces from the get-go
  • be a transformance detective
  • work experientially with the experience of attachment in the here-and-now therapeutic relationship
  • use affective/somatic affective markers to moment-to-moment track clinical process and guide interventions
  • recognize the phenomenology of the transformational process: the 4 states and 3 state transformations of AEDP
  • use dyadic regulation to undo the patient’s aloneness in the face of overwhelming emotional experience
  • use dyadic affect regulation to transform shame and fear; restore connection, flow and awe
  • regulate and process emotion to a transformational shift, from negative to a point where positive affects and adaptive action tendencies are released
  • use healing affects to foster True Self experience through being a True Other
  • metaprocess transformational experiences to engender upward spirals of resilience, health, creativity, & well-being, i.e., flourishing
  • promote core state and experiences of openness, compassion, self-compassion, flow, ease, wisdom, generosity, and calm

It is the vision of the course to bring together clinicians from different perspectives who share an interest in AEDP specifically and/or in dynamic-experiential work in general, but who also each bring his or her own very special expertise, interest and experiences. In this way, not only will the course be exciting and enlivening, but AEDP will continue to grow, be enriched and enhanced by being in communication, or dyadic coordination with these other lodes of knowledge and wisdom. Given the interest expressed in this course, it looks like that vision might be actualized, which is a very exciting prospect.

While reviewing and deepening your AEDP essential skills throughout, the Advanced Training will teach the different advanced skill sets necessary to the in-depth practice of AEDP, with theoretical foundations and with videotapes, as well as with group experiential exercises.

The AEDP Advanced Skills course aims to help you take your AEDP learning and practice to the next level. This course focuses on learning new advanced skills and reviewing, deepening and improving basic AEDP skills. You will develop more of a felt sense of how to entrain the quintessentially AEDP practice of “stay with it and stay with me” and how to keep the transformational process unfolding in all states. Learn to really “work it,” AEDP style, while troubleshooting what stands in the way of your doing so.

AEDP Institute Senior Faculty Natasha Prenn, LCSW will helm the course. As course leader she will teach Module 1 and co-teach the remaining modules with other AEDP Institute Faculty members. Experienced AEDP practitioners will assist with the experiential practices.

Please note: Essential Skills is a prerequisite for this course.

Essential Skills • 2015-2016 • Retreat Style Course in NYC (Sold Out!)

This retreat style ES course arose in response to requests over the years from people – both in the US and throughout out the world — for whom the 5 weekends of travel a year required by the standard ES course was just not feasible.  So in response to popular demand, we now launch the Retreat-style Essential Skills course. It. will be offered in two parts over two separate weeks in New York City.

In AEDP, we pride ourselves in how thoroughly and  deeply we seek to both (i) undo aloneness and  (ii) engage in rigorous clinical teaching with skilled accompaniment. We are proud to say that our  ES  courses feature a high number of highly skilled assistants – and this course is no different.

AEDP Essential Skills, aimed at practitioners, will be practical. Our aim is to teach, in both left-brained and right-brained ways, skill sets, concrete and specific. Different skill sets will be introduced, explained, illustrated and practiced each weekend, so that participants will emerge with both an understanding and a felt sense of how to practice AEDP. The basic skill sets necessary to practice AEDP will be introduced each weekend, with theoretical foundations and with videotapes and group experiential exercises in the afternoon.

Module details to follow; Ben Lipton, LCSW will helm Week 1 and Eileen M. Russell, Ph.D. will helm Week 2.  Guest presenters TBA.

WORKSHOP LOCATION:
The New York Open Center, Inc
22 East 30th Street
New York, NY 10016

Healing-oriented and attachment based, AEDP’s practice translates current neuroscience and developmental research into moment-to-moment clinical practice. Simultaneously experiential and relational in its in-depth emotional explorations, AEDP’s interventions are deeply rooted in the phenomenology and dynamics of the transformational process that emerge in environments where the individual feels safe and known. Intuitively resonant, AEDP has been called “deceptively simple.”

Essential skills will be experientially explored and didactically demonstrated so that participants will develop both a (right brain mediated) felt sense as well as a (left brain mediated) understanding of them. The training will include didactic material, clinical videotapes of actual sessions from AEDP faculty members and Dr. Diana Fosha, daily experiential exercises, and small and large group processing. A key component of the experiential practices is the opportunity to “try on” sets of interventions as a therapist and to receive them as a client. So learning new skills can give rise to experiences of safety, attachment security, transformation, and related phenomena that occur with AEDP treatment. The concentrated time that participants spend together immersed in learning AEDP aims to foster a culture of trust and generosity that allows for risk-taking and a supportive environment that is uniquely suited for optimal learning.

Objectives:

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • accurately moment-to-moment track and differentiate different aspects within the Triangle of Experience, including both verbal and somatic processes, to optimize attunement and accelerate the healing process
  • nderstand different attachment styles and utilize different interventions according to attachment style
  • understand various ways to regulate anxiety, bypass defenses and other inhibitory forces which block progress in therapy
  • access core affective experiences
  • utilize the healing potential of innate transformance strivings as a catalyst to maximize patient’s healing

Healing at the Edge of Transformational Experience

Diana Fosha, Ph.D.
with members of the AEDP Institute Faculty

This 5-Day Immersion Course in AEDP is intended for practitioners interested in AEDP, in its transformational theory, and in exploring its applications to the treatment of attachment trauma. Our focus is on AEDP and the theory and practice informing AEDP work at the edge of healing experience to repair attachment trauma. Making extensive use of clinical videotapes of actual therapy sessions, the aim of this course is to foster proficiency in the practice of AEDP, as well as facilitate its integration into clinical practices that make use of other experiential, body-focused, trauma-based, relational and/or psychodynamic methods.
