POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Grief and trauma often show up together in the therapy room, and they can be hard to tell apart. When a client is stuck, is it the loss itself, or the trauma wrapped around it?

In this live online seminar, Abigail Nathanson, LCSW, DSW, APHSW-C, ACS, explores the clinical distinctions between grief and trauma. Case examples, video and reflective exercises support the application of AEDP techniques to facilitate adaptive emotional processing in mourning.

What transformational change are you carrying into this week?

In AEDP psychotherapy, transformational change refers to significant and profound changes in thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or perceptions that lead to personal growth and development.

Sometimes it's a breakthrough. Sometimes it's a subtle shift in how we think, feel, or connect.

At AEDP, we believe in undoing aloneness, and that includes clinicians. This is a space to reflect, learn, and support one another as we grow in our work.

💬 What transformational change are you carrying into this week?

Share as much or as little as you'd like. Your experience might be exactly what another clinician needs to hear.

Thank you for being a part of our community.

For decades, we’ve heard the phrase “The Body Keeps the Score.” But what if that’s not quite accurate?

In my latest article for Psychotherapy Networker, I explore what affective neuroscience reveals about emotions, trauma, and healing.

A few key ideas from the article:

🔻 “Healing is less about releasing stored trauma and more about helping the nervous system rediscover its capacity to move fluidly through emotional states without becoming stuck or trapped by them.”

🔻 “Mental health may depend less on avoiding emotions than on learning how to safely feel them in our bodies.”

🔻“Emotions are not just feelings in the mind—they are physical experiences in the body.”

The article begins with Melissa, who sat frozen in her parked car after receiving routine feedback from her boss. Intellectually, she knew her reaction was disproportionate. Yet her heart raced, her chest tightened, and anxiety and shame took over.

Why does this happen? And what does neuroscience tell us about how we heal?

What if the emotion in front of you isn’t meant to be deepened?

In AEDP, some affects signal transformation.
Others signal collapse.

Join Yuval Moses, LCSW-R, for All That Glitters Is Not Gold: Discerning and Transforming Maladaptive Affects in AEDP.

This live online, highly interactive seminar is designed to help clinicians navigate some of the most challenging moments in AEDP work, including deep states of hopelessness, helplessness, toxic shame, despair, and psychological pain.

Participants will learn a deeper understanding of maladaptive affects — including how to identify them as they emerge in session rather than further collapse. Learn more using the link in our bio. Registrations end at midnight on Wednesday, June 11th.
