Exploring Diversity, Belonging, Equity & Inclusion (DBEI) in AEDP
-an introductory dialogue facilitated by Dr. Maria Angelina & Dr. Michele Bowers
Over the last several years, DBEI (diversity, belonging, equity and inclusion) issues have been a focus within the AEDP Institute. As AEDP Vancouver re-ignites, we’re interested in furthering a DBEI dialogue within our AEDP community here in BC.
An initial meeting for those who are interested in exploring DBEI. Some possible topics for ongoing exploration:
- decolonizing therapeutic practice
- deconstructing the theoretical underpinnings of AEDP from an anti-racism lens
- AEDP & intersectionality
- how do we integrate DBEI into our AEDP therapeutic practice
- allyship
Date: Sunday, May 26th from 10am-12pm
Location: This will be a virtual meeting on Zoom.

The Healing Power of AEDP: Viewed Through the Lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Early Bird Rate available until May 8th at midnight (Eastern time)
This workshop is specifically crafted for EFT-trained therapists interested in AEDP, and features extensive video examples from therapy sessions. I will explain and demonstrate AEDP theory and interventions, using language familiar to EFT therapists. We will explore commonalities and differences between the two models. Unique aspects of AEDP will be highlighted, and participants will learn how these can applied to deepen and expand EFT practice with both individuals and couples.
Together, we will witness the power of AEDP in action, while tracking and discussing the change processes at play. We will explore the potential for synergy between AEDP and EFT. Participating therapists will discover new ways to accelerate change, heal attachment wounds, and nurture a felt sense of security that clients take with them into their lives!
