SALON: Being together in the Strangeness of Positive Change

Presenter: Richard Harrison, PhD

Together we will view and discuss State 3 AEDP work with a relatively new patient who experienced a powerful sense of freedom and accomplishment early in treatment, after having processed emotions related to an abusive romantic relationship, for which she had always held herself to blame. We will witness and identify emergent State 3 transformational affects (pride and joy, gratitude and awe, tremulousness, grief for self, realization, enlivenment) that spontaneously arise through metaprocessing, as well as the patient’s inner working models of attachment, which begin to shift before our eyes. We will also explore important choice points that arise for the therapist in the unfolding transformational process.
