Using AEDP to Treat Complex Trauma

A live demonstration of what Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) can look like during therapy

It's terrifying when you're in a session with a client suffering from waves of intense emotions. As a clinician, it is natural to be cautious of working with their inner turmoil and to avoid directly using the therapeutic relationship to transform attachment patterns for your clients.

You need a proven process that takes you from avoidance, bypassing and fear to confidently navigating the deep waters of emotional processing and transformative relational healing in treating complex trauma and PTSD. Rooted in attachment theory, affective neuroscience, body-based approaches and parts work, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is designed to equip clients with the skills they need to address and deal with their painful emotional traumas, rather than resort to defensive tactics.

In this video, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) experts Kari Gleiser, PhD, and Natasha Prenn, LCSW, along with °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ’s Jon Olstadt give us live demonstrations and role-playing to give you a better understanding of what AEDP can look like in-session.

See how easy it is to use AEDP to treat complex trauma in this brief video:

Meet the Expert:

Kari Gleiser, PhD, completed her doctoral work at Boston University and her internship through Dartmouth Medical School with a focus on trauma and PTSD. In her practice, she specializes in applying AEDP to the treatment of complex trauma, dissociative disorders and personality disorders. Dr. Gleiser is the co-founder and co-director of the Center for Integrative Health in Hanover, New Hampshire, a trauma cente dedicated to multi-modal healing of mind, body and spirit. She has served a term on the board of directors of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation (NESTTD), where she chaired a committee on education and outreach. In collaboration with Jerry Lamagna, Dr. Gleiser has developed an "intra-relational" model of therapy, which imports AEDP's relational and experiential interventions to patients' internal systems of dissociated self-states. Dr. Gleiser has written several clinical papers and book chapters and has presented on applying AEDP to tret dissociative disorders at various international conferences.
