Expired Solving the Energy Crisis One Transformation at a Time: AEDP Systematically Puts Positive Neuroplasticity in Moment-to-Moment Clinical Action

In this workshop, Dr. Diana Fosha will introduce the Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy therapy model, also known as AEPD. This therapy model assumes a healthy core within all people and emphasizes the importance of experiential work with attachment, emotion, and transformation.

AEDP is an integrative, non-pathologizing, transformation-focused therapy model that draws on affective neuroscience, attachment theory, mother-infant developmental research, and research documenting the undreamed-of plasticity in the adult brain. AEDP has developed a healing-oriented practice and leverages safety and connection within the therapist-client relationship to facilitate healing.

With clinical examples, participants will discuss AEDP’s precise articulation of the four state and three state transformations that characterize transformational experiences.

Learning Objectives:

• Three ways of putting positive neuroplasticity into clinical action
• Facilitate the dyadic affect regulation of previously feared to be unbearable emotions
• Process emotions to completion and systematically entrain flourishing
