Free Workshop: Dan Siegel's 10 Clinical Tools from Interpersonal Neurobiology

Key Findings
  • Free live online workshop by Dr. Dan Siegel (UCLA School of Medicine) on April 28, 2026 — covering his 10 most effective brain-based clinical tools rooted in Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)
  • Hosted by PESI UK — a recognized CPD provider for mental health professionals. CPD-eligible
  • Covers practical interventions for trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational healing using the IPNB framework
  • Siegel is the founding editor of the Norton Professional Series on IPNB (100+ published titles) and author of five New York Times bestsellers

Dan Siegel's Interpersonal Neurobiology framework has become one of the most widely cited bridges between neuroscience and clinical practice. This free workshop distills his most practical tools into a single session — and it costs nothing. For clinicians who reference "bottom-up" and "top-down" processing without having studied the original framework, this is the source.

What IPNB offers the practitioner

Interpersonal Neurobiology is not a therapy modality — it is a transdisciplinary framework that connects neuroscience, attachment theory, and relational processes. It does not compete with CBT, EMDR, or DBT. It provides a common language for understanding why those modalities work at the neural level.

Siegel's 10 tools translate this framework into specific clinical interventions. The "Window of Tolerance" concept — now ubiquitous in trauma training — originated here. The "Hand Model of the Brain" — used by therapists worldwide to explain amygdala hijack to patients — is his. These are not abstract constructs. They are tools that clinicians already use, often without knowing the source.

Why this matters now

Training directly with Siegel typically costs hundreds of dollars per workshop. PESI UK is offering this as a free live event — likely as a lead-in to their paid IPNB certification programme, but the standalone session has real clinical value.

For early-career clinicians, this is foundational neuroscience literacy packaged for immediate clinical application. For experienced practitioners, it is a chance to revisit the framework with the person who built it and identify tools you may have absorbed secondhand without fully understanding the mechanism.

Dan Siegel's Interpersonal Neurobiology framework gave us the Window of Tolerance and the Hand Model of the Brain — this free workshop teaches his 10 most effective clinical tools from the source.

Limitations

Free event likely serves as a funnel to PESI's paid programmes — though the standalone content has genuine clinical value. Live format requires schedule availability on April 28. CPD credits may vary by professional body.
