Description
This presentation will explore the Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDP) framework of personality and how traumatic attachment experiences may interact with innate temperament – influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors – shape the enduring patterns of emotion and its regulation, thinking and meaning-making, and behavioral habits that we call “personality.” Understanding the role of subcortical influences on motivation and affect can greatly help in gaining insights into how overwhelming experiences early in life may impact the cortical learning that contributes to our adaptive strategies of survival. Practical applications of this PDP approach to working clinically with those who’ve experienced various challenges to secure attachment including developmental trauma will be explored. Cultural influences on how each of these patterns of personality express themselves in life will be discussed.
