About Us

The AEDP community has been growing in San Diego for a number of years.

PenelopeAndrade 2Penelope Young Andrade, LCSW is author of Emotional Medicine Rx: Cry when you’re sad, stop when you’re done, feel good fast. Penelope began her Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) journey in 2010 and is now a Certified AEDP Therapist and AEDP Supervisor-In-Training. After decades of psychotherapy training and practice in Family Systems, Psychodynamics, Psychosynthesis,
Bioenergetics, Somatic Experiencing and Buddhist Mindfulness, Penelope was delighted to discover Diana Fosha’s AEDP — a method which incorporates the best of her previous learning while adding the essential focus of attachment and dyadic healing. Penelope has found a home in AEDP and is excited to be a part of growing and developing the San Diego AEDP Community. To reach Penelope visit EmotionalMedicineRx.com or email her directly at penelopeyandrade@gmail.com

Events

Upcoming AEDP Events:

We have very exciting news for our AEDP SD Learning Luncheons this year.  Over the course of the next year, we’ll be showing video from Diana Fosha’s new APA tape, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy Over Time.

“Aloneness is the center of emotional suffering, therefore undoing aloneness is key to processing the overwhelming emotions of Trauma. AEDP is a phase-oriented treatment that is attachment-based and developed with interventions to do several things simultaneously: undo the client’s isolation in the therapeutic dyad, dyadically regulate and experientially process the emotions of trauma, and metatherapeutically process the experience of transformation to systematically support the client’s sense of resilience, creativity, and wellbeing.  Over the course of six therapy sessions, Dr. Diana Fosha demonstrates AEDP’s intimate, moment-to-moment work as she helps a client suffering from intense unresolved traumatic emotions.”

We’ll hand out maps of the 4 states of AEDP (Defense, Core Affect, Transformational Experience, Core State) to help us collaboratively track Diana’s interventions and her client’s journey to healing and wholeness.

When: Saturday, February 22, 2020
Time: 11-2pm
Location: Sarah Nunnink’s home
2525 San Marcos Ave, San Diego, CA 92104
Cost: $20.00 for Psychotherapists, $10.00 for students

Please bring your own lunch/snack. Please RSVP to info@aedpsandiego.com.

Past AEDP Events:

Anthony Matthews LCSW and Penelope Young Andrade LCSW are pleased to invite you to join us for a special viewing of the video, “Using AEDP to Overcome Shame and Heal Attachment Trauma with Gay and Straight Men” by AEDP faculty Benjamin Lipton LCSW and Ben Medley LCSW.

This training video will show how men use defensive strategies like denial and dissociation to conceal shame and feelings of aloneness. We will see in-session excerpts how master therapists use AEDP to access and process emotions from a therapeutic stance of affirmation and authenticity.

This is the first time we have offered this video. We hope you can participate to learn both theory and practical techniques and interventions.  Whether you work with gay, straight, trans or nonbinary men or women we’ve found that watching the skillful use of AEDP methods is always informative for our own clinical practice.

We’ll hand out maps of the 4 states of AEDP (Defense, Core Affect, Transformational Experience, Core State) to help us collaboratively track clients’ journeys to healing and wholeness.

AEDP Immersion course with Diana Fosha
August 8—12 at Pt Loma Nazarene University

Dr. Fosha has opened up the world of psychodynamic therapy for moment to moment relational and emotional healing. In addition to a clear and grounded understanding of the healing power of emotion, Diana has profoundly shifted the view of therapeutic work from one of pathology and combatting resistance to positive psychology and encouraging transformance…a word she coined to reflect the innate self-righting drive all humans possess.

News Flash: Early results from our ongoing AEDP research project indicate that AEDP matches effectiveness with EFT and CBT for anxiety reduction and is even more effective for reducing symptoms of depression.

An additional benefit of AEDP training, is that the principles are applicable no matter what model of treatment you are using. Practitioners of EFT, IFS, EMDR, SE, Sensorimotor Therapy, Classical analysts of all persuasions, etc. find their practice deepen in effectiveness and professional fulfillment.

Did you know the AEDP Institute offers Diversity Scholarships?

Diversity Scholarships (DS) are awarded primarily on the basis of financial need. Applicants who work for underserved, financially struggling patient populations are given priority in receiving the DS. Socio-economic disadvantage is considered a legitimate and distinct diversity category while at the same time linked to other diversity categories.
