Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Healing-oriented and attachment based, AEDP\u2019s practice is radical in its translation of current neuroscience and developmental research into moment-to-moment clinical practice. Experiential in its relational work and in using in-depth emotional explorations, AEDP\u2019s interventions are deeply rooted in the phenomenology and dynamics of the transformational process that emerge in environments where the individual feels safe and known. Intuitively resonant, AEDP has been called \u201cdeceptively simple.\u201d
\nThe AEDP Essential Skills course, aimed at clinical practitioners, will be practical. Our goal is to teach, in both left-brained and right-brained ways, AEDP skill sets, that are concrete and specific. Different skill sets will be introduced, explained, illustrated and practiced each module, so that participants will emerge with both an understanding & a felt sense of how to practice AEDP. The basic skill sets necessary to practice AEDP will be introduced each module, with theoretical foundations and faculty videotapes in the morning, and closely assisted, group experiential exercises in the afternoon.
\nThis European AEDP Essential Skills (ES1) course will be offered in a format of three modules, of four days each. This format arose in response to requests over the years from people throughout out the world \u2014 for whom the five weekends of travel a year required by the standard AEDP ES course was just not feasible. In response to popular demand, we now launch the 3 module format AEDP Essential Skills course in Europe (in Stockholm, Sweden; and Parma, Italy), the first ever in Europe.<\/p>\n

Ron J. Frederick, PhD AEDP Institute Senior Faculty member, will be leading this course along with guest faculty (TBD) and a group of highly skilled assistants.<\/p>\n

Throughout this training, essential skills will be experientially explored and didactically demonstrated so that participants will develop both a (right brain mediated) felt sense as well as a (left brain mediated) understanding of them. The training will include didactic material, clinical videotapes of actual sessions, daily experiential exercises, and small and large group processing. A key component of the experiential practices is the opportunity to \u201ctry on\u201d sets of interventions as a therapist and to receive them as a client. So, learning new skills can give rise to experiences of safety, attachment security, transformation, and related phenomena that occur with AEDP treatment. The concentrated time that participants spend together immersed in learning AEDP aims to foster a culture of trust and generosity that allows for risk-taking and a supportive environment that is uniquely suited for optimal learning.<\/p>\n

Learning Objectives:
\nAt the end of this program, you will be able to:
\n\u2022Accurately moment-to-moment track and differentiate different aspects within the Triangle of Experience, including both verbal and somatic processes, to optimize attunement and accelerate the healing process
\n\u2022Understand how to utilize the therapeutic relationship both implicitly and explicitly to establish safety, undo aloneness and foster exploration that leads to transformational experiences
\n\u2022Understand various ways to regulate anxiety, bypass defenses and other inhibitory forces which block progress in therapy
\n\u2022Access core affective experiences
\n\u2022Utilize the healing potential of innate transformance strivings as a catalyst to maximize patient\u2019s healing<\/p>\n
