The AEDP Ongoing Learning Community
with Natasha Prenn, LCSW and her able assistants.
The AEDP Ongoing Learning Community is a unique opportunity to continue your AEDP learning with a group of experienced AEDP clinicians. It is a didactic course, a gathering and a chance to stay connected and fully immersed in AEDP.
It’s especially designed for Advanced Level AEDP Social Workers, Psychologists, MFTs, Counselors and Nurses
We will divide our time between didactic, experiential exercises, demonstrations, role plays, videotapes of the work, and make sure to keep ourselves rooted in the theory as well. We will deepen our left-brain understanding by reading through the greatest hits of AEDP articles, books, and AEDP friendly authors.
An organic next step to the AEDP Advanced Skills, the first-ever AEDP Learning Community will dig even more deeply into the theoretical underpinnings of our clinical decision making and case conceptualization: emotion theory, attachment theory, transformation studies, mother-infant research, trauma studies will all be grist for the clinical mill. And most importantly we will expand our understanding of why we are doing what we mostly now know how to do!
Course Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Identify and utilize various ways to build receptive affective capacity.
- Define AEDP theoretical terms like the triangle of experience, `true self,’ `true other,’ attachment and `core state.’
- Utilize strategies for undoing unbearable aloneness
- Describe how core state is an end point in AEDP spiral of transformation, and distinguish it from state one: cognitive process.
- Formulate the shift from reporting to relating and from reflective listening to experience in the present moment.
