AEDP 101: Moment-to-Moment Client Tracking:

Attuning to Our Clients

Friday, December 5th, 2025

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Synchronous Online Training

AEDP Minnesota invites you to learn more about a foundational skill in psychotherapy practice – moment-to-moment tracking. In moments of distress, seeing a trusted, wiser other there with (and for) us, and subsequently feeling seen and understood by them, creates safety and a semi-solid foundation to step into unfamiliar experiences which we struggle to face on our own. Attuning through moment-to-moment tracking sets the stage for our clients to try new coping strategies, invite in flexibility, and coordinate with their therapist to navigate pain, suffering, and trauma. Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a healing-oriented, attachment-based model developed by Diana Fosha, Ph.D. AEDP draws from experiential and psychodynamic psychotherapy traditions, and integrates neuroscience, developmental research, attachment and emotion theories, and trauma and transformational studies. This model recognizes that even the most troubling symptoms have developed out of a patient’s best efforts (at the time) to adapt to adversity and trauma. 

 

This presentation will include didactic lecture, review of video demonstrating the use of skills, and an experiential exercise to support participants in implementing moment-to-moment tracking. 

Learning objectives:

  1. Identify and implement moment-to-moment tracking skills

  2. Differentiate between what is, and what is not, moment-to-moment tracking

  3. Identify and describe how attachment theory, emotion theory, and neuroscience support and inform the use of this skill in clinical practice
