Upcoming Events
Intro to AEDP for BIPOC Clinicians
3 Saturday Workshops: 5/15, 6/12, and 6/26 from 11:00-3:00 each day.
This training space is specifically held for clinicians identifying as Black, Indigenous, Latin, Asian, and other traditionally underrepresented persons of color (BIPOC). We hope this will be a valuable contribution to our local, regional, AEDP, and mental health communities, and toward our collective struggle to dismantle racism. This training will be co-facilitated by a multiracial team of AEDP clinicians under the leadership of Dr. Kahlila Robinson.
Developed by Dr. Diana Fosha, AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) is an experiential, attachment-based model. AEDP’s key therapeutic action is the undoing of aloneness and the establishment of the therapeutic relationship, experienced as both safe haven, and secure base. AEDP is a precise, effective way of working with trauma and emotion, toward healing, transformation, and flourishing. AEDP is a really FUN, authentic, and freeing way of being with our clients!

Suggested fee for 3 sessions is $150-200, but we are committed to ensuring that cost is not a barrier for anyone.
CEUs are available.

Join us in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York for a weekend retreat devoted to growing our skills and capacities as therapists. Natasha has two great passions: (1) How to help clients tune into and stay with their current experience in the here-and-now rather than talking about past experiences of themselves in the there-and-then. (2) How to use the therapist’s self and judicious self-disclosure to facilitate secure attachment in each therapeutic relationship. She is best known for her love of specific interventions, the practice scales of
AEDP’s music, and her clear, practical, experiential teaching.
Natasha’s teaching will guide us didactically and experientially to settle into our own moment to moment authentic selves so that we can more effectively help our clients stay with their internal experience. The retreat weekend will provide deep learning experiences and collegial connection, as well as some time for informal fun.
Diana Fosha, founder of AEDP, says, “The emotional atmosphere (of the healing process) should be one in which the patient feels safe and the therapist feels brave. The patient’s sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship is enhanced by the therapist’s risk taking.” This retreat weekend will be a time for us to take some risks, and to explore strategies to be more fully present in our own felt experience as we connect with clients in our work.
Natasha Prenn is eager to help clinicians learn to do less of what helps while being more present, in order to allow clients’ self-righting capacities to come on line. Her mission as a teacher is to bridge the gap between theory and clinical practice in experiential emotion-focused therapy, and in this workshop she will be leading us in activities that will help build that bridge. Natasha is dedicated to teaching therapists how to help clients tune into and stay with their experiences in the here-and-now, rather than talking about past experiences of themselves in the there-and-then. She will teach us experiential language skills so that we know what to say and ways to settle into ourselves, get out of our client’s way and help both therapist and client stay with present-moment experience.

As an AEDP teacher and supervisor, Natasha emphasizes the value for therapists in using themselves in the healing process; she has extensively written and taught about effective use of language and the use of judicious self-disclosure to facilitate secure attachment in each therapeutic relationship.
Natasha Prenn, LCSW, is a Senior Faculty member of the AEDP (Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy) Institute. Natasha was drawn to AEDP because of its focus on how to actually help people change! Natasha is an engaging teacher, is noted for her ability to translate AEDP theory into user-friendly steps, and for her enthusiastic belief that the mechanisms of AEDP are teachable and therefore learnable skills. With Diana Fosha, she is the author of the guidebook for AEDP supervision: Supervision Essentials for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (2016). |
This workshop is suitable for you if you are curious about AEDP, would like to learn some skills you can use right away, and hope to cultivate or deepen your stance as an experiential, relational therapist. We also welcome seasoned AEDP practitioners from near and far. AEDP of the Finger Lakes invites you to come and make new friends and connect more deeply with old ones.
The workshop will begin at 2:00 on the afternoon of Friday, May 8th, and will conclude Sunday, May 10th, after lunch. All meals and light snacks will be included. The workshop will be held at Light on the Hill, a beautiful retreat center in the hills of Central New York State. See this link for an idea of the idyllic place. There is room for 30 overnight guests in the main lodge, with opportunities for more participants to stay in cabins on site.
