New York State Society for Clinical Social Work Mid-Hudson Chapter with The Advanced Clinical Education Foundation of the NYSSCSW Presents:

TIME & SLOWING, ATTACHMENT & LOSS IN TIME-LIMITED 16-SESSION AEDP THERAPY

Program Description

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, or “AEDP”, is an attachment therapy which provides a neurobiologically-based map to flourishing where the warm, safe, affirmative relationship between therapist and patient opens up wired-in capacities for healing and transformation.

This workshop will demonstrate exciting results of AEDP therapy in a time-limited 16-session format. We will explore how the benefits of slowing to attune to somatic experience and core emotion—key AEDP concepts— are enhanced within the foreshortened time-frame of 16 sessions. By viewing video excerpts showing key change moments from beginning, middle and end of complete time-limited treatments, we will discover how awareness of ending from the beginning, mobilizes the transformance drive. Particular attention will be given to issues of grief and loss.

Registration Options

*NYSSCSW Discount applies to NYSSCSW current members only.
