Penelope Andrade, LCSW

Penelope is an AEDP Certified Therapist and Supervisor and author of Emotional Medicine Rx: Cry when you’re sad, Stop when you’re done, Feel good fast with over 40 years of experience in San Diego, CA and on Zoom. Penelope found AEDP in 2010 and knew it would be her forever therapeutic home when she discovered how elegantly AEDP integrated her decades long commitment to body-mind-spirit-relational healing and mindfulness. Of the many aspects of AEDP she treasures: being with clients in the embodied present moment, undoing aloneness, trusting those continually arising self-righting impulses, allowing love to flourish relationally, and facilitating clients’ ever increasing self-love-confidence-clarity.

As AEDP can be tricky to master, Penelope enjoys helping new AEDP learners relax into discovering how their innate gifts as therapists thrive and develop in this organic, emergent model. Penelope knows, personally, she will never be done learning AEDP as it challenges her personally and professionally to grow in the most important aspects of consciousness, love and will.  (more…)

Annika Medbo, Licensed Psychotherapist

Annika Medbo is a faculty member of AEDP Institute. She is a Licensed Psychotherapist and Licensed Physiotherapist in private practice in Stockholm, Sweden.

She is one of the founders of the Swedish AEDP Community and has played a key role in spreading and developing AEDP in Western Europe, particularly in Scandinavia. Together with Anna Christina Sundgren, she continuously arranges and teaches Core Training in Sweden, Norway and online. In addition to teaching Core Training, she is an appreciated teacher in the Institute’s Essential Skills courses.

Annika has always been deeply interested in exploring and expanding her understanding of the natural, innate forces that drive growth and healing—both within the individual and in the profound interactions between people. In AEDP, she found a model and framework that allowed her to cultivate this passion and eventually begin structuring her discoveries through her clinical work with patients.

Through this work, a particular interest in working with the deepest attachment traumas has emerged—specifically in addressing various forms of profound neglect. Drawing on infant research, she integrates insights both to understand the phenomena that emerge in the therapeutic process and to deepen her comprehension of early attachment formation.

Building on this evolving understanding, Annika has refined her AEDP approach and skills to better meet patients’ needs at this level of trauma work. Her commitment to advancing the AEDP model is reflected in her recent article, Finding, Forming, and Transforming the Self: A Journey From No Self to Core Self, published inTransformance, the AEDP Journal, volume 13
