The Neuroscience of Flourishing

$69.99 Standard

When you bring neuroscience into therapy, clients don’t have to wait to feel better. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, you can tap into the brain’s capacity to rewire itself toward resilience, connection, and vitality right away.

In this session, Dr. Diana Fosha, developer of AEDP®, will show you how to activate the brain’s inherent capacity for positive neuroplasticity, and thus transformation, connection, and flourishing in every session – even the first one. You’ll learn how to:

  • Shift clients’ capacity to tolerate painful emotions with dyadic affect regulation
  • Harness the brain’s capacity to reorganize toward well-being as it moves away from symptoms
  • Use the powerful tool of metatherapeutic processing to savor and expand the positive effects of change-for-the-better, setting flourishing in motion

Here's What You'll Learn

Reorient Clients Toward Well-Being After Trauma

  • Bring flourishing to the process of healing trauma
  • AEDP®’s roots in attachment theory and affective neuroscience
  • Activation of positive neuroplasticity for transformational change
  • Rewire toward resilience within the therapeutic bond

Toggle speaker biography

Diana Fosha, PhD, is the developer of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), a healing-based, transformation-oriented model of psychotherapeutic treatment and she is founder and director of the AEDP Institute. For the last 20 years, Diana has been active in promoting a scientific basis for a healing-oriented, attachment-emotion-transformation focused trauma treatment model. Fosha’s work focuses on integrating positive neuroplasticity, recognition science and developmental dyadic research into experiential and transformational clinical work with patients. Her most recent work focuses on promoting flourishing as a seamless part of AEDP’s therapeutic process of transforming emotional suffering. Drawing on affective neuroscience, attachment theory, mother-infant developmental research, and research documenting the undreamed-of plasticity in the adult brain, AEDP has developed an experiential clinical practice, which reflects the integration of science, research and practice in psychotherapy.

Based in New York City, where she lives and practices, Fosha has been on the faculties of the Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology of NYU and St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Medical Centers (now Mount Sinai) in NYC, and of the doctoral programs in clinical psychology at the Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University and at The City University of New York.
