Description

The experience of aloneness, especially in the face of overwhelming emotions, is central to what makes an event traumatic. Undoing that aloneness is a key to rewiring neural pathways to enable the processing of trauma and relational wounds. Yet many traumatised clients distrust the very connections they need most to heal. Backed by empirical research, AEDP provides a creative, relational, affective/somatic, 4-state map of transformation and precise interventions that help make attachment safe and help heal attachment-based trauma. In this workshop, you’ll see actual videotaped sessions and experience: 

  • How to undo aloneness through here-and-now relational processing and use moment-to-moment tracking to assess the impact of interventions on clients 
  • How to harness the transformational power of affirmation and an affirmative therapeutic stance 
  • How to use AEDP's 4-state map of the transformational process to orient and inform clinical decision points 
  • How to help clients integrate emotional shifts from the session so they stick
