A deep exploration of tens of thousands of autobiographical narratives reveals an exciting new view of how temperament early in life may become engrained by attachment relationships to shape our personality—ways we experience and express emotion, focus our attention and thinking on what has unique meaning in our lives, and how we interact with the world around us.

We’ll explore how the consilient field of interpersonal neurobiology can focus a lens on a popular “Enneagram of Personality” system to shed light on the quest of our lifetimes to regain a sense of wholeness and meaning. Understanding these “patterns of developmental pathways” can help individuals and mental health professional to discern what is innate temperament we are born with and what are the learned mechanisms of adaptation, empowering us to transform our personality patterns from the prisons they may have become, into playgrounds of possibility that facilitate connection and creativity in our ongoing life journeys.
