Transformative Healing with AEDP Therapy
Discover a path to profound healing and transformation. AEDP is a powerful approach based on the understanding that humans are fundamentally wired for healing and growth. AEDP is a healing-oriented, experiential therapy that focuses on accessing and processing core emotions to unlock your innate capacity for resilience and growth. Unlike traditional talk therapies that primarily focus on cognitive understanding, AEDP emphasizes the transformative power of direct emotional experience.
Often, emotional suffering and psychological difficulties stem from having to face overwhelming experiences alone. In AEDP, the therapeutic relationship is central; I work actively and empathetically with you to undo that sense of aloneness, creating a safe space for you to explore and process emotions that may have previously felt unbearable.
Through carefully tracking your moment-to-moment experience – including emotions, bodily sensations, and relational connection – we work experientially to access your innate capacity for healing and resilience. This process involves processing core affective experiences towards completion. The goal is not just symptom relief, but a transformation of suffering into flourishing, leading to a deeper sense of self, vitality, and the ability to live more fully. AEDP aims to decrease experiential avoidance and heighten emotional and somatic experiences in a regulated way
