    Ep.39 "We disconnect from our emotions for 3 main reasons" (W/Andrew Joseph)

    Hello and thank you for your patience but we are BACK! Today we are joined by the utterly delightful Andrew Joseph. Andrew shares insights into his work at the AEDP Institute, where he conducts research on trauma healing. He discusses Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an emotionally focused, attachment-oriented model that emphasizes emotional responsiveness and real-time relational dynamics between therapist and client. He notes that attachment patterns can shift based on different interactions, making it vital to approach therapy with flexibility and openness.
