AEDP was developed by Dr. Diana Fosha and borrows from many common therapeutic methods, including body-focused therapy, attachment theory, and neuroscience. The aim of AEDP is to help clients replace negative coping mechanisms by teaching them the positive skills they need to handle painful emotional traumas. Dr. Fosha’s approach is grounded in a creating a secure attachment relationship between the client and the therapist and the belief that the desire to heal and grow is wired-in to us as human beings.

— Michael Germany, Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin, TXIf you feel emotionally stuck, or as if you are living "on the surface" of experiences, AEDP is a caring way to helping you to expand and understand your emotional life. We will work on noticing patterns that maintain emotional patterns that don't work for you, and give you space to try new ones. AEDP is a great way to approach working on the adult impact of early life attachment traumas and issues related to family of origin. I am a Level 1 clinician, currently pursuing Level 2.

— AP Spoth, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in ,Level II Trained Therapist
— Tamara Odland, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Port Angeles, WAAEDP is my primary approach to therapy. AEDP practitioners believe that trauma happens when a person has to face overwhelming emotions without adequate support. We believe that helping people “undo their aloneness” in supportive, gentle ways can facilitate healing and transformation. AEDP is relational and attachment-focused (uses the relationship of the client and counselor heavily), experiential (focuses on experiences rather than stories/talk therapy), and somatic (uses the body).

This is an emotionally-focused approach to the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, and a host of other struggles.
— Istvan Dioszegi, Student Therapist in Phoenix, AZWe all have experienced trauma in our lives. Sometimes it's a big trauma and sometimes it's little traumas experienced over and over. We develop ways to cope with the difficult emotions and they help us survive at the time. The problem is that we outgrow the usefulness of these skills and the coping becomes stumbling blocks to experiencing emotions in healthy relationships. Together, we can identify these stumbling blocks, work to access emotions, and develop new healthy coping skills.
— Brad Warren, Licensed Professional Counselor in Fort Worth, TX
