AEDP

Welcome to Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

Discover Healing Through Connection

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a transformative approach that prioritizes the power of emotional connection and the innate drive for healing within each individual. Developed by Dr. Diana Fosha, AEDP integrates principles from attachment theory, neuroscience, and affective neuroscience to create a profound therapeutic experience.

What Sets AEDP Apart?

Unlike traditional psychotherapeutic approaches that focus solely on symptom reduction, AEDP seeks to harness the inherent resilience and adaptive capacities of each person. By creating a safe and empathic therapeutic environment, AEDP encourages the exploration and processing of emotions, facilitating rapid and lasting transformation.

Key Principles of AEDP

1. Emotion Processing: AEDP places a strong emphasis on the processing and integration of emotions. By guiding clients to explore and understand their emotional experiences in the present moment, therapists help them build emotional resilience and foster psychological growth.

2. Transformational Experience: AEDP views therapy as a relational experience where healing occurs through the attuned and compassionate connection between therapist and client. This therapeutic relationship serves as a secure base from which clients can explore and transform painful emotions and memories.

3. Neuroplasticity: AEDP is grounded in the understanding of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself in response to new experiences. Through experiential techniques and interventions, AEDP helps clients create new neural pathways that support emotional well-being and adaptive functioning.

4. Relational Focus: Central to AEDP is the belief that healing and growth happen within the context of secure and supportive relationships. Therapists actively engage with clients, providing empathic attunement and fostering a sense of safety and trust essential for therapeutic progress.
