Undoing Aloneness in Relational Trauma
Copyright :
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 traumatized 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
Diana Fosha, PhD
Diana Fosha, PhD, is the developer of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), a healing-based, transformation-oriented model of psychotherapeutic treatment and she is founder and director of the AEDP Institute. For the last 20 years, Diana has been active in promoting a scientific basis for a healing-oriented, attachment-emotion-transformation focused trauma treatment model. Fosha’s work focuses on integrating positive neuroplasticity, recognition science and developmental dyadic research into experiential and transformational clinical work with patients. Her most recent work focuses on promoting flourishing as a seamless part of AEDP’s therapeutic process of transforming emotional suffering. Drawing on affective neuroscience, attachment theory, mother-infant developmental research, and research documenting the undreamed-of plasticity in the adult brain, AEDP has developed an experiential clinical practice, which reflects the integration of science, research and practice in psychotherapy.
Based in New York City, where she lives and practices, Fosha has been on the faculties of the Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology of NYU and St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Medical Centers (now Mount Sinai) in NYC, and of the doctoral programs in clinical psychology at the Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University and at The City University of New York.
