Personality and Wholeness with Dr. Dan Siegel

CE Hours 1.5

About this course

This training introduces an integrative, neuroscience-informed model for understanding attachment and personality patterns across the lifespan. Drawing from Interpersonal Neurobiology, the Attachment Array, and the Personality Palette, participants will learn how early relational experiences and innate temperament shape adaptive strategies, emotional regulation, and patterns of relating. The program emphasizes practical clinical application to support resilience, integration, and therapeutic change.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the core principles of the Attachment Array and identify secure, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized attachment patterns and their regulatory strategies.
  • Apply the Personality Palette to recognize agency, bonding, and certainty patterns, and assess how adaptive strategies influence emotional and relational functioning.
  • Integrate attachment and personality frameworks into clinical formulation to support greater coherence, flexibility, and resilience in therapeutic work.
