Danny Yeung, MD
Experience of Awe in Psychotherapy: Working wwith Spirituality in AEDP

In this workshop, presenter Danny Yeung, MD, will demonstrate how, in AEDP, awe and spiritual experience can emerge as part of the healing process. Through lecture and video illustrations of clinical sessions, Dr. Yeung will provide a theoretical framework of AEDP and the essential skills required to accompany the client through the transformational process, where regulated by the emotional presence of a caring and empathic therapist, the patient emerges from the experience with a sense of relief, lightness and hope.

Dr. Yeung will pay particular attention to the Third and Fourth States of the model. The Third State, focusing on the experience of transformation includes the emotional pain of mourning-the-self, the emergence of healing affects, and a new understanding of Self and other.  State Four, Core State, the grand finale of an AEDP session, follows on the heels of the third state transformation. Phenomenologically akin to an aesthetic experience, core state is marked by emotional serenity, wisdom, the sense of things being ‘right’ and the truth sense. Enriched with mental clarity and coherence, experiencing core state is, in turn, another golden opportunity for the patient to create a new, adaptive and transcending autobiographical narrative.

Dr. Yeung will also be addressing the application AEDP to Asian cultures from his extensive work and experience in expanding AEDP to therapists in Shanghai & Hong Kong China.

Workshop Outline:

Participants will learn about:

  1. The Frame: An overview of theory and practice of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
  2. The Tree: The rich and complex theoretical roots of AEDP including attachment theory, emotions theory and neuroscience.
  3. The Drive: Transformance as the overarching drive for healing and transformation in AEDP
  4. The Map: Phenomenology of four states and three state transformations of AEDP.
  5. The Set: An overview of the set of essential skills for AEDP with focus on the horizontal and vertical interventions
  6. Moment-to-moment AEDP work as illustrated through video of an actual clinical treatment with emergence of the phenomenology of awe and spirituality.

Learning Objectives

After the workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Have a deeper understanding of how to apply the AEDP model in therapy.
  2. Track moment-to-moment the 4 States and 3 States Transformation
  3. Track moment-to-moment the Triangle of Experience
  4. Harness the healing power of aesthetic / spiritual experience in psychotherapy

 

Note: If you are new to AEDP we recommend attending the following introductory workshop on the evening of Sept 8/17. You may also attend the evening on it’s own. 

Friday, September 8, 2017
Dale Trimble, MA
Healing Attachment Wounds: Introduction to Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) engages clients in the process of healing from the first moment of therapy. AEDP focuses on somatic experience, emotion and the therapy relationship to melt defences, process emotion that is frozen and awaken innate healing energy. Dale will present the four-state model of change and the very unique elements that AEDP brings that accelerate healing. Videotape of a therapy session will demonstrate how Dale applies AEDP with a client to help him move from a distant and defended stance to softening and the release of emotion. You will leave this two-hour workshop with some practical and powerful skills for your work as a therapist. For more information on AEDP see archive.aedp.ca .

Danny Yeung, MD 
Master Class and Supervision Workshop 

This is an advanced training event for those who have attended the AEDP Immersion or Essential Skills courses. The group is limited to 25 and there will be the opportunity for a few participants (3-4) to show tape of their work and receive feedback from Danny Yeung and Dale Trimble. Your tapes do not need to have State 3 & 4 work as a focus. They can be of a client you are struggling with how to engage more deeply. Equally welcome is a tape that shows work you are very proud of and want to understand more deeply. A strong emphasis will be placed on creating safety and an open-hearted atmosphere as we all share transformance strivings, of both our clients and ourselves.
