Summoning Courage: The Evolution of an AEDP Therapist – POSTPONED
What does it take to be an AEDP therapist?
The challenge begins.
an AEDP TriState Seminar
at Mt. Sinai West in NYC
with SueAnne Piliero, Ph.D.
This workshop has been postponed. New date TBD.
Being an AEDP therapist requires not just learning the theory or the techniques, but also building the knowledge, awareness, and capacity within our SELFs to“be with” and “stay with,” the depth of emotional pain, shame, anger, grief, unbearable aloneness…
It requires a strong therapeutic presence; leading boldly, fiercely advocating and championing our patients’ in a verbally and affectively explicit way; finding and “gluing the glimmers” of light when your patients see and feel nothing but darkness within them.
It requires accompanying our patients on emotional journeys that we ourselves may never have been on (and perhaps avoiding because we, too, are afraid to touch that guarded space within us).
It requires that we tend to not just our patients’ affective and relational wounds, but also our own.
It requires an openness to love and be loved by our patients, even in our authentic moments of doubt or ambivalence.
In short, being an AEDP therapist requires the courage to bring our SELFs more wholly into the room with our patients despite our fears and doubts. Not an easy task.
In this workshop, we will explore in depth what therapeutic presence really means, and how to bring our Whole SELFs more fully into the therapeutic relationship in order to enhance, deepen and accelerate the healing process.
Through lecture, videotape, and personal anecdotes from my own journey as an AEDP therapist, you will see, hear, and witness how the most powerful tool in our clinical toolkit is our own embodied presence.
Workshop Objectives:
- Strengthen your ability to be more present, engaged, and make more explicit use of your own emotional experience in your work with patients
- Explore the ways in which your own “affect phobias” and discomfort with emotional closeness and self regard may be impacting your clinical work.
- Learn the power of letting your whole Self be viscerally impacted by your patients’ histories and core affective experiences and using the visceral experience of that impact to guide your interventions.
- How to actively Join vs. Merge with your patients, and the difference between the two.
- How to use your own emotional pain, your own resonant experiences, to deepen and enhance the healing process.
