You're feeling overwhelmed with more demands on your time than you have energy to manage. Each morning you wake up and tell yourself, "Today it's going to be different," but by the end of the day nothing seems to have changed. Stress, anxiety, and depression have moved in, and it's hard to imagine a world where you don't feel this way every single day.

This season of life feels intense and you're unsure where to turn, and even less sure what you'd say to someone who asked you how you're doing. You pause for a moment and if you answered honestly you'd say you're overwhelmed or burnt out or stressed. Maybe you'd say that you could really use a friend right now. If you were brave, you'd say that this season has been rough; that your emotions are taking up more space than you know how to manage; that your marriage is rocky and you don't know how to heal it; that you simply don't feel heard, understood, or seen; that you wish your parent's would "get you"; that you felt less alone.

AEDP Therapists
Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
