Seminars & Seminar Series Overview
Expand your AEDP learning through focused seminars and seminar series exploring a range of clinical topics, populations, and applications of the model.
Learn from AEDP faculty and guest presenters through clinical teaching, case material, discussion, and practical approaches you can bring into your work with clients.
Expand Your AEDP Learning
AEDP® Seminars and Seminar Series offer opportunities to deepen your understanding of specific clinical topics and explore how AEDP can be applied across a range of therapeutic challenges and populations.
Led by AEDP faculty and guest presenters, these focused trainings combine clinical teaching, case material, discussion, and practical applications. Offerings range from introductory topics open to clinicians at all AEDP training levels to more advanced seminars designed for clinicians who have completed Immersion.
Seminars vary in length and format, allowing clinicians to continue their AEDP learning while choosing topics that are most relevant to their interests and clinical practice.
What to Expect
Throughout AEDP® Seminars and Seminar Series, participants may:
- Explore focused clinical topics through an AEDP lens
- Deepen their understanding of AEDP theory and interventions
- Learn from clinical examples, case material, and presenter demonstrations
- Engage in discussion with presenters and fellow clinicians
- Explore applications of AEDP with specific populations and clinical challenges
- Develop ideas and interventions that can be integrated into clinical practice
Understanding Seminar Levels and Experiential Work
Open to All Levels
Some seminars are designed for clinicians at all AEDP training levels, from those new to the model to experienced AEDP therapists interested in exploring a particular clinical topic.
Intermediate & Advanced
Some seminars require prior AEDP training, typically beginning with completion of Immersion. Please review the individual seminar page for specific prerequisites.
Experiential Work
AEDP® Seminars do not include the assistant-guided experiential work that is part of Immersion, Essential Skills, and the Full Program of Advanced Skills courses. Some seminars may include participant-only breakout discussions or exercises. Please review the individual course page for details.

A couple of things I would do
I would not put times, CE credits, “Live Online,” training levels, early-bird dates, sold-out notices, or registration information in the archive. The title, type when relevant, presenter, dates, and View Course are enough.
