This self-paced professional training Becoming a Transformational Therapist is presented by Jonathan Peretz, PsyD.

Rooted in the short-term psychodynamic tradition but informed by contemporary attachment theory, affective neuroscience, somatic approaches, and transformational studies, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) seeks to help clients traverse difficult emotional and relational experiences to release blocked energy and regain resources. Through lecture, clinical video, and experiential exercises, participants will learn the basic elements of AEDP’s transformational approach and develop a clear understanding of the affective and relational change mechanisms at the heart of this contemporary model. 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Describe how clients recognize and relinquish longstanding patterns of emotional avoidance

  • Describe the Triangle of Experience and AEDP’s “Four States and Three States Transformations” clinical map to conceptualize and guide treatment

  • Describe the affective receptive experience and the client’s sense of feeling felt, seen, and cared about to reduce shame and repair damage to the self

  • Describe nine change mechanisms inherent in AEDP

  • Describe four specific ways to modify AEDP for use with clients whose cultural backgrounds favor emotional restraint
