Couples Core Training • 2015-2016 • San Francisco

Meet the Course Supervisor, David Mars, Ph.D.

We will focus on the AEDP for Couples model of therapy, which privileges finding and amplifying the felt experience of love in the room from the first session and evokes powerful transformance drives for healing.

Teaching will focus on accelerated methods for creating safety and treating the underlying attachment level trauma that underlies marital distress and disconnection. We will be deepening the skills necessary to hold dyadic affect regulation within couple sessions, so couples can transfer these skills into their lives every day. Working with couples in these ways presents new learning challenges and opgportunities to therapists, as well as powerful new methods to evoke accelerated transformational healing of historical trauma and deprivation that inevitably “pops up” in committed relationships.

Topics for this year’s Core Training include:

  • Treating couples recovering from affairs
  • Addressing sexual issues within the marriage
  • Treating the impact of financial betrayals
  • Transforming patterns of chronic dissociation
  • Reviving and restoring “stale and bitter” relational patterns
  • Help hot and cold conflict transform to bring peace and justice to the whole family
  • Conducting healing portrayals within couple therapy sessions

A major theme of our work will be to catalyze couple therapists’ capacities to bring more experiences of dignity, deep fairness and the “undoing of aloneness” of young sub-parts of couple members that were historically neglected or abused. David will expand on and deepen the theory and practice of AEDP for Couples on the Saturday morning of each module with evocative videotape of a couple in treatment. Prior to each weekend of training, David will send participants a transcript with a micro-analysis of the session that will be presented, identifying the key interventions that emphasize how to apply the Four States and Three State Transformations of AEDP in couple treatment. Also featured each weekend will be invitations to practice deepening witnessing capacity for perceiving, receiving and expressing in the Seven Channels of Experience. (See the Transformance Journal or CFTTsite.com for more information.)

As a participant in this core training you will be sharing your own videotaped couple session each training weekend. You will receive supervision, constructive group witnessing and focused assistance directed by your request. You can also choose the opportunity for “live role-play re-dos” with alternative interventions to keep fine-tuning your work with couples. It is part of the intention of this training series to support those who practice EFT, PACT and other methods of treating couples to integrate the AEDP for Couples model into your palette of skills as a couple therapist.

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.

COURSE DATES AND TIMES:

Week 1:
August 23rd 2015 – August 28th 2015
Ben Lipton, LCSW  – Helm
Sunday, August 23rd 2015:  7:00 pm-10:00 pm
Monday, August 24th through Friday, August 28th, 2015:  9:00 am-5:00 pm

Week 2:

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

Diana Fosha, PhD • AEDP: State of the Union

As AEDP practitioners we are often asked questions such as  “what is AEDP?” and “what is the AEDP approach to … (fill in the blank)?”

In launching the 2013-2014 NYC AEDP Seminar Series, Dr. Fosha attempted to answer some of those questions – and explained why others can’t be answered.  In this nearly 3-hour seminar, she took this opportunity to offer an in-depth reflection on AEDP and in so doing, explored where we are; where we’ve come from and how we got here; and where we’re going.

Event Details

Schedule

Monday – Friday: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
There will be a 15 minute break in the AM and PM and a one hour lunch
(on your own).
No reading prerequisite.

The UBC campus has a lot to offer and because of that it will be easiest if you can refer to some of the links and documents too.

Here is something that Diana has sent out in the past;

“Being a devout believer in emergence, there isn’t a tight schedule.Since the combination of didactic, clinical tape presentations with moment-to-moment tracking and sprinkling of experiential exercises will depend on how things unfold. What is set, is that: on the third day (Wednesday afternoon), we will have a presentation from faculty member Dale Trimble; on Thursday morning, the morning of the fourth day, we will have presentations from Senior faculty members David Mars and Karen Pando-Mars, and on Thursday afternoon we will have the extensive (richly assisted) experiential exercises/practice, which will be followed by the cocktail party on Friday evening. I don’t think anyone wants to miss the closing on Friday afternoon. I so look forward to sharing in this work.”

Advanced Skills • 2014-2015 • New York

AEDP Advanced Skills is aimed at practitioners with some experience of AEDP work already established. Practical in its orientation, this course focuses both on helping you (i) learn new advanced AEDP skills, and (ii) cultivate and fine-tune the AEDP skills you already have. Our aim is to teach, in both left-brained and right-brained ways, specific interventions and techniques that are concrete and specific. Participants will emerge with strategies for doing AEDP with our more challenging clients. While reviewing and deepening your AEDP essential skills throughout, the Advanced Skills course 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 upcoming New York Advanced Essential Skills course will be led by Natasha Prenn, LCSW, along with guest faculty from the AEDP Institute. The course takes place at Friends In Deed in New York City over five weekends and is a great hands-on experience for anyone furthering their AEDP training.

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

Module 1: Seven Channels of Experience
Friday, October 24th- Sunday, October 26, 2014
with David Mars, PhD
Seven Channels of Experience

In this first module we will be delving into deepening affective somatic experience beyond a focus on emotion. We will explore the question, “How do we empathize with a feeling that has not been expressed?”

We will experience how to deepen the patient’s and our own Seven Channels of Experience (energetic, sensation, emotional, imaginal, visual, auditory, movement) to bypass defense and move into a broader band, bottom-up core affect. We will experience together through lively exchanges and vivid videotaped clips how to expand our connection to our own channels. We will see, hear, sense, move into, energetically track, open and amplify our imaginal channel to “find” and “bridge to” the channels our patient already occupies. We will learn how to select for and deepen this practice of whole body attunement. In your experiential practice sessions you will discover how you bring your own gifts and former defensively excluded blocks to bear fresh, real and healing fruit.

Module 2: Advanced Defense Work
Friday, December 5th-Sunday, December 7th, 2014
Guest Faculty: Steve Shapiro, PhD
Advanced Defense Work: How to Help Patients who do Not Take Easily to AEDP

The focus of the module will be advanced defense work, learning to restructure mechanisms such as denial, splitting, projection, and dissociation. Specific techniques will be reviewed such as: transforming resistance, regulating anxiety and other inhibitory forces; separating anxiety and defense from expressive core affective phenomena; encouraging a new and corrective experience; utilizing the therapy relationship and relational interventions to access underlying healing resources and their associated adaptive action tendencies, restructuring defenses.

Module 3: Working with Trauma & Dissociation
Friday, February 6th- Sunday, February 8th, 2015
Guest Faculty: Kari Gleiser, PhD
Transforming Trauma, Dissociation and Fragmentation with AEDP

Complex attachment trauma can sever and/or inhibit the formation of deep and lasting bonds between self and other, self and self, self and emotion. In this module, we will explore, in depth, the explicit use of relational interventions to build safety and containment, dyadic regulation of intense traumatic affects of fear, shame, and overwhelm, as well as reconnection to healing emotion via processing of core affect – all in the context of patients with severe trauma histories and dissociative disorders. We will also view these cases through the lens of intra-relational interventions, which place dual emphasis on internal attachment relationships formed through affective interchanges between distinct parts of the self, and on the intrinsic healing power of new emotional experiences. Parallel relational processes unfolding simultaneously within the external dyad (i.e., therapist/client) and internal dyads (i.e., client/dissociated ego-states) facilitates and accelerates the internalization of secure attachment dynamics.

Module 4: Transforming Pathogenic Affects
Friday, April 17th- Sunday, April 19th, 2015
Guest Faculty: Jerry Lamagna, LCSW
Working with Pathogenic Affects

“Pathogenic affects,” overwhelming states of distress, shame, guilt, anxiety and existential loneliness will be the focus. Learn to help patients to manage their emotions and gain important insight into the nature of their suffering. Learn to detect where such unwanted, overwhelming experiences can provide “compost” for the transformation process. Interventions involving somatic grounding, explicit relational engagement and empathic reflection and intra-relational (ego state) work with resonance and compassion will be demonstrated as skillful means for fostering self- building, self-regulation and integration.

Module 5: Advanced Metaprocessing
Friday, May 15th- Sunday, May 17th, 2015
Guest Faculty: Benjamin Lipton, LCSW
Advanced Metaprocessing

Reflecting upon the experience of change for the better is in and of itself a transformational process that fosters resilience and flourishing. In this module, we will delve into AEDP’s State 3 (metaprocessing) and State 4 (core state) phenomenology to ensure that you have a clear and detailed roadmap for the unfolding and thorough processing of transformational phenomena as they emerge in the practice of AEDP. Didactic and video examples will provide you with a roadmap to help you both sharpen and expand your technique for both “Big M” and “Small m” meta-therapeutic processing in the service of helping you and your patients to thrive.
