Dreaming Hope: AEDP and the Natural Creativity of the Sleeping Self
an Advanced Skills and Supervision Workshop at the YWCA in Vancouver, British Columbia
with Miriam Marsolais, PhD
In this daylong seminar Dr. Miriam Marsolais, a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst and Faculty member of the AEDP Institute, hopes to inspire and offer guidance for therapists wishing to access the exquisitely rich and subtle treasury of patients’ dreams in service of transformation and healing.
Dr. Marsolais will summarize recent neuroscientific research on the role of sleep and dreams in processing intense emotional experience. Drawing upon her Jungian roots, she will show how AEDP’s theoretical and clinical framework lays the groundwork for effective, transformative application of this research in trauma treatment. Using videotape of her work, she will demonstrate how AEDP taps into the deep wells of resilience of the sleeping mind and how dream experience can be accessed through AEDP to facilitate healing from complex, early relational trauma.
Dr. Marsolais’ deep engagement with dream experience began when she recognized in her own dreams the seeds of emotional recovery from a nearfatal burn injury. Her consequent three decades of work with dreams and trauma treatment has led to her conviction that dreams are intimate expressions of our mind’s natural creativity that, when processed in conjunction with AEDP, open new pathways to healing, to intimacy in relationships and to a life rich with meaning.
This daylong training will be useful for those who are experienced in AEDP as well as those who are attending for the first time.
Meet the Presenter
Miriam Marsolais, PhD
Miriam Marsolais, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and Jungian Analyst in private practice in Berkeley, California. She is also Founder and Head Instructor of White Magnolia Tai Chi School in Berkeley. Dr. Marsolais first encountered AEDP in 2006, completed three years of Core Training in Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area, became a certified AEDP practitioner in 2009, a certified AEDP supervisor in 2011 and an AEDP faculty member in 2014. She is currently helming the Bay Area Multi-Faculty AEDP Core Training in Kensington, California and is facilitating two ongoing AEDP supervision groups.
Dr. Marsolais experiences life as a spiritual exploration that is easier to live than explain. As a young adult she performed as a violinist, was a nun and taught high school science and mathematics. Following a near-fatal burn injury, her life took a major turn and her passions were redirected towards the study of history, psychology and Eastern mind/body practices. Dr. Marsolais has completed degrees in Biology and Sociology (Stanford University); Theology (Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley); History (UC Berkeley); and Analytical Psychology (C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich). She has completed training in Collaborative Couples Therapy and in Tibetan Studies, has served as Adjunct Faculty at the Wright Institute in Berkeley and as a clinical supervisor at the East Bay Agency for Children.
Dr. Marsolais is inspired and challenged by AEDP’s dynamic, integrative clinical approach and is grateful to have found her professional home in the AEDP community. She is deeply engaged in extending AEDP practice into the domain of the sleeping self through relational, phenomenological work with dream experience, and through this work is opening new pathways to healing from early relational trauma and PTSD. She is also exploring the resonances between AEDP and traditional Eastern mind/body and meditation practices, and how awareness of these resonances can enrich AEDP practice, training and supervision.
