Ep 28 - AEDP

Welcome to episode 28 of the Therapy Explained podcast. Today we head across the pond to speak with Dr Ronald Frederick, a clinical psychologist and senior faculty member of the Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Institute.

Ron carefully explains what AEDP is and how it came to be. Ron goes puts forwards and unpacks how AEDP is an attachment based, neurobiologically informed, emotion-focused psychotherapy.

We discuss what this means, the importance of the relationship between therapist and client, the bottom-up approach, experiencing emotions in a complete manner, how AEDP relates to memory reconsolidation, unique aspects of AEDP such as metaprocessing and our innate ability to heal.
