The Nuts and Bolts of AEDP What do I Say, How Do I Say It and Then What Do I Do?
a one day AEDP Workshop in Denver, Colorado
with Natasha Prenn, LCSW
As clinicians make the shift from the language of the left-brain and thinking to the right brain and emotion, there is a very real gap between the theory and clinical practice of an experiential, emotion-focused, attachment based treatment. This workshop fills that gap.
Natasha will present her two great passions:
- How to help clients tune in to and stay with their current experience in the here-and-now, rather than talking about the past experiences of themselves in the there-and-then.
- How to use the therapist’s self and self disclosure to facilitate secure attachment in each therapeutic relationship.
She will start with a straightforward AEDP protocol of steps to take to deepen the work, and then with handouts of the actual words and phrases of AEDP interventions, she will teach what she calls ‘the experiential language’ of AEDP. Natasha will show videotape examples of self-disclosure and its metaprocessing to demonstrate this most effective and challenging AEDP relational intervention. Therapists are often afraid to disclose their affect, their reactions, the impact of the patient upon them because they haven’t known how to do it. Natasha will unpack the -how-to’ of self-disclosure so that it is effective, in the service of the client and titrated according to the receptive affective capacity of each client. This workshop will be accessible to clinicians new to AEDP, and appropriate for those with more experience. Participants will head back to work armed with immediately applicable clinical interventions and a framework for the different interventions they may already be using.
What You’ll Learn
- To define the AEDP therapist’s stance, moment-to-moment tracking, self-disclosure, and metaprocessing
- The AEDP theory and practice of both self-revealing and self-disclosing self-disclosure
- To use experiential language in your clinical work
Meet the Presenters
Natasha Prenn, LCSW
Natasha Prenn, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, speaker, educator, author and life coach. As a senior faculty member of the AEDP Institute (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), she pioneered the AEDP Essential and Advanced Skills Courses, and is well known as a therapists’ therapist across the U.S. and abroad.
Natasha, an engaging presenter, is noted for her ability to translate AEDP theory into user-friendly steps, and for her enthusiastic belief that the mechanisms of the magic of experiential-dynamic work are teachable and therefore learnable skills. Her obsession with languaging interventions and skills training has led to her co-authoring a monograph for APA: Supervision Essentials for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. This book, which Natasha wrote with Diana Fosha, is filled with practical skills to wield the power of AEDP’s theory and practice into psychotherapy supervision.
Natasha offers coaching and psychotherapy to individuals and couples, and consults with psychotherapists individually and in small groups by invitation. She is a founding editor of Transformance: The AEDP Journal, a blogger for CSAR, and the author of the forthcoming AEDP Skills Manual. Some of her articles and book chapters are available on the AEDP website.
Half-Day Master Class
A Supervision Group option is also offered. This additional 4 hour Experiential course with Natasha Prenn will be limited in size and requires that you’ve had exposure to previous AEDP training.
