(HS Fosha, Taylor 096488 2025) Going Deeper with Clients
Tracking # 20-1296841
Course overview
In AEDP, a healing-oriented therapy that holds undoing aloneness as a sine qua non of trauma work, affirmation is not a mere nicety but a robust experiential clinical intervention, activating the brain's intrinsic capacity for healing and self-repair. Through affirmation and AEDP's dyadic experiential work, people experience profound shifts in self-concept, attachment security, and overall quality of life. In this workshop, we'll examine pioneering developmental work on recognition, emphasizing its role in fostering secure attachment bonds and healthy emotional development. You'll discover: New, neurobiologically informed ways to help traumatized clients feel deeply seen, understood, and valued from the first session The key elements of attunement and moment-to-moment tracking to harness affirmation How to use relationally attuned affirmation to work with defensive walls traumatized clients have built
