Learn how co-regulation and relational attunement — the bidirectional, shared regulation of emotional and autonomic states — form the We-quadrant foundation of emotional development.
Learn how co-regulation and relational attunement — the bidirectional, shared regulation of emotional and autonomic states — form the We-quadrant foundation of emotional development.
An orientation to the Interpersonal developmental line in AQAL — defining relational development, mapping Kegan's subject–object stages as the developmental arc, grounding the line in attachment theory and Buber's I–Thou, and situating it within the broader psychograph.
An Interpersonal Line module distinguishing affective empathy, cognitive empathy, and compassionate empathy; grounding empathic accuracy in Zaki's trainability research and Epley's egocentrism findings; and mapping AQAL 1st/2nd/3rd-person perspectives as the developmental sequence of perspective-taking capacity.
Understand the mechanics of interpersonal rupture and repair — the developmental engine of relational trust. Learn Gottman's Four Horsemen, the repair sequence, NVC as a practical repair tool, and how developmental stage shapes conflict navigation.
Build practical capacity for trust-building dialogue across meaningful differences in role, culture, and worldview.
A capstone module on how emotional maturity and relational capacity develop together, where they commonly fall out of sync, and how to design an integrated 30-day practice.
A reference matrix showing how the Interpersonal developmental line characteristically differs across Amber/Mythic, Rational/Orange, Pluralistic/Green, and Integral/Teal, including Kegan stage mapping, characteristic shadow patterns, and growth edges.
Structured pilot protocol for validating the 4-module Interpersonal Line suite with 15–20 diverse participants over 8 weeks. Covers Kegan stage-based participant criteria, consent and screening for conflict material and cross-difference dialogue, facilitation requirements with cross-cultural experience, data collection instruments including perspective-taking accuracy measures, safety protocols, and revision triggers.
