Congratulations Magda Evans-AEDP Certified Therapist

November 18, 2024

On behalf of Malin Endrédi and myself, it is my tremendous pleasure to announce that Magda Evans is now an AEDP Certified Therapist! Malin has been Magda’s primary supervisor, and each of their reflections on their journey together are included below. I (Richard) have had the honour of supporting Magda as her certification supervisor, which has been a joy. Magda is remarkably steady, sensitive, spacious, and artful in her clinical work; and her warm, heartfelt, caring presence on behalf of her patients is powerful. She has a deep trust in the experiential process and in somatic, embodied work, and a thorough understanding of AEDP. Moreover, I am in awe of her exceptional tracking skills! Magda also has a tremendous appetite for learning and growth – her own and that of her patients. There’s so much more I could say, but instead, I encourage you to take in the richness of what follows below!

Seminar: Undoing Disempowerment | Cultivating Agency in AEDP®

Presented by Eileen Russell, PhD

Friday January 24, 2024- Monday 27, 2025
Live Online and Highly Interactive

Course Description:

Internalized experiences of trauma, neglect, or oppression can severely impair one’s access to and expression of one’s emotions, as well as the sense of safety with oneself and others. But these experiences, as well as subtler, but chronic, experiences of not being seen or recognized, can also impair the development of the sense of the self being an agent in the world and in one’s own life.
