Description of the online course:
The course is based on AEDP theory and practice and adds important new theoretical and technical ideas on the subject of transforming pain effectively by using portrayals. The ideas are the fruit of Netta Ofer’s (main Presenter) and Hans Welling’s (guest Presenter) research and clinical practice while writing a book about portrayals. The course will help therapists gain the “know how” of portrayal work and enhance their ability to use this tool effectively in their sessions.
The course will combine oral teaching, clinical material in video from real sessions, and reading (6 webinars will be presented by Netta Ofer and 2 by Hans Welling and Netta Ofer together).
The main subjects covered:
- How is emotional pain created and how it is transformed?
- Principles of building transformative portrayals.
- Three paradigms of human pain and their complementary transformational processes: emotional pain, relational pain and self-pain.
- How to get into deep emotions in portrayals.
- How to help the patient express what he never could express and receive what he never received.
- How to work with low self-esteem, self-blaming and self-attack and revitalize the self.
- Basic principles when working with flooded patients
- Basic principles for working with defensive patients.
In the end of the course therapists will:
- have a new fresh understanding of human pain and its transformation.
- know how to create different types of portrayals with patients.
- understand the building blocks (principles) of portrayals so that they will be able to play with them creatively and asses their effectiveness.
- know how to follow and stay with deep pain, deepen it even more, and transform it.
- have practical tools for dealing with diverse blocks (defenses and flooded states) when using portrayal.
