No matter how traumatic our histories, we are not just bundles of pathology.
Lodged within us are dispositions for healing and self-righting, there for the awakening.
(Diana Fosha, Ph.D. Founder of AEDP)
AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) is a cutting edge individual therapy model that fosters the resiliency within the individual along with working through the various issues that the individual is struggling with.
Here is a description of AEDP from the AEDP Institute website:
AEDP psychotherapy is an approach that seeks to alleviate patients’ psychological suffering by helping them process the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma in a way that facilitates corrective emotional and relational experiences that mobilize positive changes in our neuroplastic brains.
AEDP has roots in and resonances with many disciplines — among them interpersonal neurobiology and affective neuroscience, attachment theory, emotion theory, body-focused approaches, and transformational studies.
The AEDP model of psychotherapy:
- Is transdiagnostic, i.e., it can effectively treat trauma, depression, emotion dysregulation, negative thoughts, experiential avoidance and interpersonal problems
- Establishes a therapeutic relationship of safety and trust
- Enhances positive functioning such as self-compassion, well-being, and self-esteem in both therapist and client
Dr. Fosha’s synthesis of theory, research, and clinical practice termed AEDP, has become widely recognized as an important step forward in psychotherapeutic treatment.The model is currently practiced by thousands of clinicians worldwide.
I will be offering some slots for short-term, 16 session AEDP starting in 2024. Stay tuned for more information about this in the near future.
