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.
This model reveals how these patterns influence the way we process emotions, focus attention, find meaning, and engage with the world around us. They not only explain individual differences in how we navigate life’s challenges and opportunities but also provide a map for personal growth toward wholeness. Consistent with academic studies of personality, this “Patterns of Developmental Pathways” (PDP) model offers a new lens to understand how our personalities emerge over time and how these patterns each offer unique “growth-edges” that guide healing and integration in our inner and relational lives.
Inspired by tens of thousands of personal narratives explored through the lens of the Enneagram system of personality, this PDP framework offers key insights into how we become who we are across the lifespan. It opens the door to practical strategies that move us from being “stuck” in fixed patterns of personality toward exploring a dynamic landscape of possibilities. This shift allows us to transform personality from a tumultuous battleground we may experience as a prison into a creative playground of growth and exploration, with opportunities for deeper inner and interpersonal connection, awareness and transformation.
Moreover, by illuminating the specific routes that lead to emotional overwhelm and burnout for each personality pattern, this model offers tailored strategies to reignite our sense of passion and purpose. It helps us to rediscover resilience and meaning, promoting regeneration and a renewed commitment to our personal and relational wellbeing. Through this lens, we can see not just how we navigate the world but also how we can intentionally steer ourselves toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Summarize the interplay of temperament and attachment in the development of personality and human flourishing.
-
Identify and describe nine Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDPs) and how they help illuminate distinct growth-edges for lifelong development.
-
Explain how an individual’s insights into their own PDP and those of others can give powerful avenues for understanding life journeys and personal relationships, and the many ways we can be at risk of burnout and stress.
-
Outline nine patterns of personality and how these emerge from early temperament and are intensified by non-secure attachment experiences.
-
Analyze the role of deep motivational drives (agency, bonding, and certainty) and attentional orientations (inward, outward, and dyadic) in shaping personality.
-
Explain the ways PDPs shape emotional experiences, attentional focus, and meaning-making throughout life.
-
Describe 2 or more strategies/ interventions to help clients transform fixed personality patterns into pathways of connection, growth and possibility.
-
Identify tools to identify and address specific burnout pathways within each PDP and strategies for reigniting passion, purpose, and resilience in both personal and professional contexts.
