AEDP
AEDP focuses on creating a relationship with your therapist in which you feel safe enough to explore deeply held anxieties and issues.
Developed by Dr. Diane Fosha, AEDP aims for depth. Difficult emotions are often hard for most of us to reach. However, approaching these difficult places inside us can lead to a more stable sense of ourselves and we are less likely to feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Often, it is our underlying repressed emotions that are responsible for the feeling that we cannot cope.
How it works
Your therapist will guide you towards developing and finding your own resources to deal with your issues. It enables you to reconnect with skills that you have always had but that you may have had trouble accessing. AEDP has been shown to be very effective at treating depression and anxiety.
