About Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is an empirically supported model that gives patients corrective emotional and relational experiences that mobilize changes in the brain. AEDP is transdiagnostic, i.e., it can effectively treat trauma, depression, emotion dysregulation, negative thoughts, experiential avoidance, and interpersonal problems.

AEDP establishes a therapeutic relationship of safety and trust, and enhances positive functioning such as self-compassion, well-being, and self-esteem in both therapist and client. Dr. Fosha’s synthesis of theory, research, and clinical practice termed AEDP, has become widely recognized as an important step forward in psychotherapeutic treatment.
