Advanced Skills Course Overview
Practical in orientation, every Advanced Skills Course focuses on helping you both learn new, Advanced AEDP skills, and cultivate and fine-tune the AEDP skills you already have. Each course will include didactic presentations of theory along with video of actual clinical sessions conducted by AEDP Faculty followed by an afternoon of small group experiential exercises.
In both left-brained and right-brained ways, our Advanced Skills faculty will teach concrete, specific interventions and techniques that will help you with the in-depth practice of AEDP and help you with your more challenging clients.
Course Description
The experiential focus in AEDP aims to harness positive neuroplasticity. Our effectiveness is tripled in its impact when we make use of AEDP’s three representational schemas: The Triangle of Experience, the Self-Other-Emotion Triangle, and the Triangle of Relational Comparisons to guide our interventions and clinical decision making. With the four-state transformational process map in the background, this training illustrates the value of these three triangles. Using clinical videotape, we will notice how they provide underlying structure for moment-to-moment therapeutic activities and fortify the AEDP therapist’s use of self: our presence, precision, and persistence.
Therapists’ use of self, and clarity of recognizing markers of our patient’s experience, play a huge part in how we attune to and engage with our patients: 1) how we perceive and respond to how they show up, 2) how we identify transformance motivational forces at play, and 3) how we search to discover the roots of each patient’s suffering and the dynamics that underlie their functioning. Understanding how each triangle provides a window into patterns of emotional regulation, internal working models and relational strategies will help us befriend the triangles: appreciating how they organize experience and help us to meet our clients and help them to feel met. How AEDP therapists lean into AEDP’s transformational focus and make use of these three representational schemas maximizes our effectiveness to potentiate positive neuroplasticity and helps us help our patients have the specific healing transformation they need.
We will have both didactic teaching with video illustration and experiential exercises guided by our dedicated and knowledgeable experiential assistants.
