Seminars & Seminar Series Overview
Our Seminars and Seminar Series offer a dynamic opportunity to deepen your AEDP knowledge and enhance your clinical skills. Led by experts, these sessions blend insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and practical applications. Whether refining foundational concepts or exploring advanced techniques, these seminars foster continuous growth, empowering you to confidently apply AEDP’s transformative methods and make a lasting impact in your practice.
Understanding Seminar Levels and Experiential Work
Some seminars are designed for All AEDP training levels: Foundational, Intermediate and Advanced. Whether you’re brand new to the model or you are an advanced AEDP therapist seeking to expand your proficiency in a special area, these seminars are designed to meet you where you are in your learning journey. You’ll gain new perspectives and engage in discussions that promote both personal and professional growth.
Intermediate and Advanced Seminars are designed for therapists who have at least completed Immersion – they are ready for an Intermediate course – and are ready to elevate their practice. These seminars offer a focused opportunity to deepen your skills, refine your interventions, and explore advanced or niche concepts within the AEDP framework.
Little to No Experiential Work: AEDP seminars do not include experiential work guided by assistants. Some seminars include participant-only break out groups. Check out each seminar page for details.
