AEDP FOR COUPLES: Community Healing Workshop “Deepening Intimacy Through Processing Unresolved Trauma and Deprivation”
an AEDP WEST Workshop at the San Francisco Theological Seminary Alexander Hall in San Anselmo, CA
with David Mars, PhD
This workshop will feature a live couple meta-processing their treatment with David through viewing videotapes of selected change moments.
The audience of therapists will be invited to participate directly with the couple.
Learn the structure and practice of the AEDP for Couples model, so you can increase your skill set to:
- Construct earned secure attachment between the couple members, so their relationship becomes a vehicle for transformation
- Develop individuation and toleration and even enjoyment of differences between couple members
- Navigate the terror of being loved when past attachment figures have betrayed trust through violence and sexual abuse
- Combine the Four States of AEDP with the Seven Channels of Experience to create deep safety, more momentum and joyful experiences in treatment Expand your freedom as a therapist to more fully access your somatic capacity in couple and individual treatment
This course will present the theory and practice of AEDP For Couples to help participants somatically track and affectively regulate two people at a time in couple’s treatment. AEDP for Couples is a powerful, somatically-oriented and affective neuroscience and attachment-based method. Left-brain and right-brain learning will be combined to equip you to effectively treat couples with greater confidence, enjoyment and ease.
Participants will cultivate accessing the Seven Channels of Experience and will practice methods to most effectively create safety and amplify the felt experience of love in couple’s treatment.
Meet the Presenter
David Mars, M.F.T., Ph.D.
David Mars, Ph.D. is the developer of AEDP For Couples. He has specialized in the somatically focused treatment of couples and groups for four decades, as an innovator in developing process-oriented, somatically, and empathically focused couple treatment. David has trained, supervised and consulted with Dr. Diana Fosha, the originator of AEDP since 2005.
David develops and presents training seminars and workshops nationally and internationally that focus on the AEDP for Couples model. He is the lead supervisor of the AEDP for Couples Core Training. He teaches at AEDP Immersion Courses, the Essential Skills Program and leads two ongoing AEDP for Couples supervision groups. He is one of the founders of AEDP West. David is also on the adjunct faculty of the California Institute for Integral Studies in San Francisco where he infused AEDP into his teaching of courses on the Clinical Relationship.
David’s style as a presenter is described as inspiring, warm and deeply personable. He quickly evokes trust from his audiences, which ushers in a deep level of transparent exchange of ideas and points of view about how therapists can more effectively treat the historical trauma and deprivation that underlies marital dysfunction. Perhaps most importantly, participants are moved to apply what they learn in these training programs, due to the depth of experience they take in while witnessing videos, live demonstrations and engaging in experiential practices.
