It’s terrifying when you’re in a session with a client suffering from waves of intense emotions…
Clients trapped in devastating flashbacks holding their body and emotions hostage…
Watching them struggle in a push-pull battle of disorganized attachment while navigating the inner turmoil caused by their traumatized, fragmented sense of self…
And as the clinician, it’s natural to be cautious of working with their intense emotion and to avoid directly using the therapeutic relationship to transform attachment patterns for your clients.
You need a proven process that takes you from avoidance, bypassing and fear to confidently navigating the deep waters of emotional processing and transformative relational healing in treating complex trauma and PTSD.
Rooted in attachment theory, affective neuroscience, body-based approaches and parts work, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is designed to equip clients with the skills they need to address and deal with their painful emotional traumas, rather than resort to defensive tactics.
And in this all-new online course, you can join AEDP Institute Senior Faculty Kari Gleiser, PhD, and Natasha Prenn, LCSW, to discover how to harness the power of AEDP’s intra-relational interventions.
You’ll walk away with a proven map of how to work step by step with your patient’s emotional and relational experiences to guide your clients with attachment-based, experiential and transformative trauma interventions.
Kari and Natasha have trained therapists all over the world in this innovative new way to treat trauma and now it’s your opportunity to put AEDP to work in your practice.

Kari Gleiser, PhD, completed her doctoral work at Boston University and her internship through Dartmouth Medical School with a focus on trauma and PTSD. In her practice, she specializes in applying AEDP to the treatment of complex trauma, dissociative disorders and personality disorders.
Dr. Gleiser is the co-founder and co-director of the Center for Integrative Health in Hanover, New Hampshire, a trauma center dedicated to multi-modal healing of mind, body and spirit. She has served a term on the board of directors of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation (NESTTD), where she chaired a committee on education and outreach.
In collaboration with Jerry Lamagna, Dr. Gleiser has developed an "intra-relational" model of therapy, which imports AEDP's relational and experiential interventions to patients' internal systems of dissociated self-states.
Dr. Gleiser has written several clinical papers and book chapters and has presented on applying AEDP to treat dissociative disorders at various international conferences.
Natasha Prenn, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, speaker, educator, author and life coach. As a senior faculty member of the AEDP Institute (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), she pioneered the AEDP Essential and Advanced Skills Courses, and is well known as a therapists’ therapist across the US and abroad.
Natasha, an engaging presenter, is noted for her ability to translate AEDP theory into user-friendly steps, and for her enthusiastic belief that the mechanisms of the magic of experiential-dynamic work are teachable and therefore learnable skills. Her obsession with languaging interventions and skills training has led to her co-authoring a monograph for APA: Supervision Essentials for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. This book, which Natasha wrote with Diana Fosha, is filled with practical skills to wield the power of AEDP’s theory and practice into psychotherapy supervision.
Natasha offers coaching and psychotherapy to individuals and couples and consults with psychotherapists individually and in small groups by invitation. She is a founding editor of Transformance: The AEDP Journal, a blogger for CSAR, and the author of the forthcoming AEDP Skills Manual. Some of her articles and book chapters are available on the AEDP website.
