Putting Personality Into Practice With Dr. Dan Siegel

$459.99 Standard

In this presentation, we will delve into an interpersonal neurobiology approach on how we become who we are, drawing on developmental neuroscience to illuminate how early temperament intricately intertwines with attachment experiences, forming the foundation of nine distinct patterns of personality. These patterns are shaped by deep motivational forces or “vectors”—agency, bonding, and certainty—that interact with three core tendencies of attentional orientation or “attendencies” : inward, outward, and dyadic (a toggling between inward and outward). Together, these vectors and attendencies lead to adaptive strategies that shape our emotions, thinking, and behaviors that form the basis of personality patterns that sculpt the developmental pathways guiding our lives.
