AEDP psychotherapy is an experiential model that seeks to alleviate psychological suffering by processing the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma in a way that facilitates corrective emotional and relational experiences, mobilizing positive changes in our neuroplastic brains.
 

Crisis and suffering provide opportunities to awaken extraordinary capacities that otherwise might lie dormant, unknown and untapped. The AEDP model is about experientially making the most of these opportunities for both trauma processing and healing transformation. Key to the therapeutic action of AEDP is the undoing of aloneness and thus, the co-creation of a therapeutic relationship experienced as both a safe haven and secure base where transformational healing can occur. Through the undoing of aloneness, and the in-depth processing of difficult emotional and relational experiences, the AEDP clinician fosters the emergence of new and healing experiences and, with them resources, resilience and a renewed zest for life.
