Dynamic Enriched Experiential Psychotherapy™
(Grounded in AEDP)
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
— John O'Donohue

About the Trainer
My extensive training in, work with, and teaching of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and other experiential therapy models, combined with ongoing study of attachment, interpersonal neurobiology, and emotion research confirms for me every day that experiential therapy provides healing and meaning like no other form of therapy. In addition, AEDP practice, combined with enrichments to AEDP that I have developed over time, has proven to be very teachable. Because of this combination of teachability and profound reward for patient and therapist, instructing therapists on how to practice experiential therapy has become a major focus of my work. Thus Dynamic Enriched Experiential Psychotherapy (DEEP™) Training for Therapists was born.
The wide variety of trainings I offer privately to therapists through DEEP represents a rich blend of intensive AEDP training enriched and expanded to include aspects of experiential therapy that I believe are important additions to AEDP. I have chosen to ground my trainings in AEDP because I find AEDP to be a strong, clearly defined, science based, ever-evolving, overarching therapy model. However, there are several key aspects of therapist training I believe are important to working with the close-in experiential realm, that are missing from AEDP. All of my trainings include aspects of therapist self-discovery and expanded cutting edge practices that fill in some foundational pieces that strengthen the therapist to do this work. All trainings are expanded and enriched to include:
- both AEDP theory and intensive personal self-building of the therapist so that the learned AEDP skills will emerge from a solid internal foundation in the therapist;
- existential ideas about the nature of suffering, and our role as therapists in attending to suffering, to provide a strong grounding for the therapist when the going is hard;
- detailed integration of Porges’ polyvagal theory and Shore’s right-brain-to-right-brain research into AEDP practice to strengthen understanding and application of theory via multiple viewpoints;
- integration of specific body-based work in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy to supplement the body arena that is not well defined in AEDP theory.
