  • Integrate the PDP framework seamlessly with your existing therapeutic approach, whether EMDR, CBT, IFS, somatic, or beyond.
  • Repair relationships and strengthen secure attachment through integration-based methods.
  • Teach fast, in-the-moment regulation skills to calm the nervous system and anchor presence.
  • Apply the PDP framework to anxiety, ADHD, trauma recovery, relational distress, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

This certification training is designed for mental health, educational, and wellness professionals—including psychologists, counselors, marriage and family therapists, social workers, and other clinicians—who want to deepen their understanding of trauma, attachment, and personality through a non-pathologizing, neuroscience-based lens.


PDP is Dr. Dan Siegel’s newest integrative framework that builds on decades of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB). It identifies nine patterns that shape the brain, body, and relationships—and offers key interventions to help clients move from defenses to integration and well-being.


You’ll gain practical, brain-based tools to:

  • Identify survival patterns underlying rigidity, reactivity, and disconnection.
  • Apply pattern-specific interventions drawn from CBT, EMDR, IFS, ACT, and somatic approaches.
  • Teach real-time nervous system regulation.
  • Create treatment plans using the PDP lens to foster secure attachment and integration.


Yes! The Live Online option lets you participate in real time with Dr. Dan Siegel through interactive chat, Q&A, and experiential exercises. You’ll also have access to all replays for 30 days and the same certification benefits as the in-person attendees. You can also purchase a self-study option if you can’t attend live in person or online.


Choose the Self-Study (On-Demand) format and complete the full training at your own pace. You’ll still receive up to 12 CE hours and be eligible for the PDP Certification once you complete the CE test.


All formats (in-person, live online, and self-study) include:

  • Access to the full two-day training
  • 14-day recording replay
  • Up to 12 CE hours
  • Six months of mentoring & community Q&A with Dr. Dan Siegel
  • $129 PDP Certification fee (covered for 2 years)


  1. Attend the event (live or self-study)
  2. Pass the CE test and download your certificate
  3. Submit your application to Evergreen Certifications—your $129 fee is already covered.

You’ll then receive your official Certified PDP Clinician credential, valid for two years.

*Professional and clinical standards apply. Click Here to Learn More About PDP Certification.


Yes. Participants can earn up to 12 CE hours depending on their professional board requirements.


Your registration is 100% risk-free. You may cancel anytime for a full refund—no questions asked.
