Personality and Wholeness in the Cultivation of Well-Being

With Daniel Siegel, MD

Description:

In this presentation we’ll explore an interpersonal neurobiology approach harnessing the insights of developmental neuroscience to illuminate how early temperament interweaves with attachment experiences in the cultivation of nine patterns of personality. Agency, bonding, and certainty are deep motivations that combine with an attentional orientation of inward, outward, and dyadic as both to form nine patterns of personality that shape the developmental pathways of our lives. These patterns mold how we experience and express emotion, focus our attention and find meaning in life, and even how we interact with others in our world. These nine patterns offer us ways of growing toward wholeness, a lifelong journey this “Patterns of Developmental Pathways” model helps see and shape in our inner and relational lives. Inspired by tens of thousands of narratives from the perspective of the Enneagram system of personality, this PDP framework helps us to gain insight into how we became who we are and offers practical steps into how we can intentionally open what may have become a prison of personality into a playground of possibility. Informing us about the individual-specific routes of overwhelm and burnout, this model of personality also provides strategies for reigniting passion and purpose in our lives as we regenerate and reignite with a renewed sense of resilience and meaning. This presentation offers approaches that can be effectively integrated into the clinical assessment and treatment plan of our client population.
