Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy: A Crash Course in AEDP
Monday, September 21, 2026 / 12-1 PM Eastern / 1 CE available
Virtual: Join Zoom Session
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is an attachment-based, emotion-focused approach that helps clients heal by processing core emotions in the safety of a deeply attuned relationship. Rather than focusing on pathology, AEDP harnesses the mind’s innate “transformance drive” toward growth and recovery. Through moment-to-moment tracking of emotional and bodily experience, therapists guide clients from defenses and anxiety into core emotions, and onward to states of clarity, self-compassion, and connection. The process of “undoing aloneness” — meeting emotions together instead of in isolation — is central to its transformative power. AEDP integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, and experiential methods to foster rapid, lasting change.
