(all prices include lunch both days) WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is one of the fastest growing approaches to working with attachment trauma. Its transformational theory, a basis for putting neuroplasticity and attachment theory into clinical action, is similarly receiving increasing recognition. Until recently, the mental health field focused on pathology and lacked concepts to capture the motivational strivings for health. Drawing on neuroscience and developmental research, AEDP rectifies this bias towards pathology. AEDP asserts that we are wired for healing, self-righting and for resuming impeded growth.Building on our natural resilience, its therapeutics is based on these innate healing capacities. AEDP's clinical model shows how to entrain our innate resilience and harness it in treatment. Emphasizing the importance of experiential work with attachment, emotion and transformation, AEDP leverages safety and connection within the therapist-client relationship to facilitate healing through moment-to-moment tracking of the therapeutic process and innovative, experiential intervention strategies. This workshop will deepen your understanding of how attachment theory informs psychotherapeutic work carried out from an empathic, experience-near stance.Diana Fosha, PhD and Benjamin Lipton, LCSW will make extensive use of videotaped therapy sessions to demonstrate AEDP in action. The first part of the workshop will focus on illustrating (i) how to activate healing and self-righting tendencies from the initial moments of the initial session and thereafter throughout the therapy and (ii) how to work with the experience of attachment within the therapeutic relationship. Videotaped case examples will show a range of interventions that actively and explicitly show how to (a) work with the experience of the attachment relationship between patient and therapist; (b) use that relationship to regulate, deepen and work through intense affective experience; and (c) be a transformance detective in order to catalyze and make active use of transformational processes. The second part of the workshop will explore working with the experience of core affect until adaptive healing resources are released and harnessed in the service of transforming trauma and actualizing transformational potential. This will be an interactive workshop: a collaborative process will be entrained between the presenters and workshop participants to support the emergence of the positive transformational phenomena that are at the heart of AEDP. Workshop Objectives You will be able to: • apply the theory of transformance and its role in development and therapy. • use the patient’s experience of transformation to activate further healing and consolidation of gains already made, i.e., how to put neuroplasticity in action. • foster a therapeutic attachment-based stance to facilitate affect regulation between therapist and client. • support a client’s relinquishing of maladaptive defenses. • practice experiential techniques to help a client process intense, previously warded off emotional experiences. • identify some of the signs and markers of the moment-to-moment process of healing change. • identify and leverage the essential aspects of human environments and relationships that foster the emergence of secure attachment and transformance. additional course objectives (to come) “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places,” said Hemingway. Diana Fosha adds: “There is no better way to capture the ethos of AEDP than to say that we try to help our patients--and ourselves—become stronger at the broken places….and to discover places that have always been strong and never were broken.” PRESENTER BIOS DIANA FOSHA, PhD, is the developer of AEDP, a healing-based, transformation-oriented model of psychotherapeutic treatment, and Founder and Director of the AEDP Institute.
