How to Select Online Staff Training for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) with Moment-to-Moment Affect Tracking

Written by Annika Nagy | Oct 16, 2026, 6:18:46 PM

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a relational, emotion-focused treatment model that helps clients work through difficult feelings as they arise in session, with a counselor who stays closely attuned to each change in their emotional state. The basis for counselor attunement is moment-to-moment affect tracking, which provides a foundation for dyadic affect regulation and attachment-based healing. Building competence in moment-to-moment affect tracking requires not only reading but practice, which can pose a challenge for organizations selecting online training workshops for an entire staff. Leadership choosing training for a group should seek workshops that incorporate lectures, clinical videos, experiential exercises, and structured practice. Strong online training programs in AEDP should establish a thorough understanding of emotion-focused interventions at an organizational scale and produce verifiable competencies in affect tracking, attachment-based healing, and dyadic regulation.
