Experience Teaches: A Deeper Exploration of Our Own Capacity for Therapeutic Courage Through Experiential Practice with Colleagues

Presented by AEDP Faculty Member Kate Halliday, LCSW

“An opportunity for some collegial connection and to take risks and have some fun with AEDP.”


PRE-REQUISITE:

This course is for AEDP Level 1 and above – you must have completed Immersion.

It is for Licensed Mental Health Providers including Counselors, Doctors, Nurses, Psychoanalysts, Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Social Workers, other Behavioral Health Therapists and related professionals. If you have a question about the relevance of this course for you and/or your eligibility for this course please contact admin@aedpinstitute.org with your credentials before registering. For information about whether this course offers Continuing Education credits for your license, see the bottom of the page.

Important Note: This training does not count toward AEDP certification because this will not include clinical supervision time.

DESCRIPTION:

Many of my students and supervisees have told me that they wish for more “hands-on” training to keep their skills alive and to grow their confidence in the model. After the Skills courses have been completed they tell me they return to their own communities and struggle to maintain the momentum they felt while they were taking the classes. My hope is that this experience with me will help meet some of those needs for you.

The topics for each of the four meetings in this course are as follows:

1) AEDP starts inside us: practices to jump start, and inhabit, our Therapeutic Presence, including practices to support this process in “tele therapy.”

2) The gentle art of purposeful interruption in AEDP; honing skills to help move our clients out of content and into process from the get-go. We will include considerations for working on line.

3) State One work is AEDP! Ways to track, celebrate, and amplify possibilities, glimmers and sparkles; how this bravery in ourselves often permits State Two Core Relational and Core Affective experience. And yes, how we deepen experience when working “remotely”.

4) Inviting the body into sessions: AEDP interventions work to deepen experience. Expanding our repertoire and comfort with inviting and exploring body-based input from our clients. With special recognition of the benefits and challenges inherent in sessions where the client’s body is not physically in the same room as the therapist’s! 

AEDP Level 2 participants are invited to consolidate and extend their mastery and artistry as AEDP clinicians. Here’s an opportunity for some collegial connection and to take risks and have some fun with AEDP.

Each meeting (3.5 hours) will provide opportunities to refresh understanding of interventions learned in the Skills courses.

The meetings will consist of a didactic component, each time focusing on specific interventions, using videotaped clinical sessions or demonstrations to illustrate. Participants will then be dispatched to breakout rooms in groups of four peers to practice using the interventions with one another. There are four rotating roles in each group of four peers: therapist, client, assistant/coach, and witness/observer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this series, participants will be able to:
1) Identify Therapeutic Presence, as conceptualised by AEDP.
2) List specific AEDP skills used to invite clients towards internal focus.
3) Describe AEDP’s conceptualization of State One processes of Anxiety and Defenses.
4) Identify areas of constriction in clients’ physical experience to access avenues for exploration and emotional remediation.
5) Recognize and describe how AEDP conceptualises the therapist as the “unit of intervention”.
6) Deploy AEDP theory and interventions to support their own internal regulation as they develop Therapeutic Presence in practice sessions with colleagues.
7) Identify how tele-therapy offers unique opportunities for AEDP clinical effectiveness.
8) Demonstrate expanded repertoire of AEDP skills practicing specific interventions during experiential exercises with colleagues.

READING LIST

For each meeting, Kate has offered a couple of articles. “One of the best aspects of AEDP articles and books is that like all AEDP training, they includes actual sessions… transcripts of sessions, in articles. It makes the reading come alive!” Go here for the reading list.
