OVERVIEW:

The Enneagram is a personality system that helps us understand ourselves and one another, like the Myers Briggs. This personality system is unique because it not only helps us understand our persona but also invites us to grow emotionally and spiritually. The Enneagram includes nine personalities and each of these personalities has considerable strengths and weaknesses. Each personality also has one particular Achilles heel, and once we become aware of this, we are more able to move toward transformation and life. The Enneagram says we have one primary number, but that all nine numbers live in us. This insight helps us know ourselves and those around us better – including clients, co-workers, and others – allowing for improved interactions and insight into psychotherapy as well. During our day of learning, we will be reviewing these nine Enneagram types, unconscious and needed childhood messages, arrows of strength, arrows of stress, and mantras around self-help with each Enneagram number. Using self-awareness and other interactive exercises, didactic learning, and insights of applying the Enneagram in day-to-day clinical practice, this introductory course will provide an excellent overview of this tool.
Participants will get the best experience during this event if they visit https://enneagramtest.net/ and take the test prior to the training. If you don’t have a chance, no worries, a short test will be available to take at the beginning of the workshop!

OBJECTIVES:

By attending our workshop, you will be able to:

• Identify at least three of the nine types of Enneagram personalities.
• State how unconscious childhood messages and needed childhood messages can affect each “number” of the Enneagram.
• Define the concept of “the arrows of strength” and the “arrows of stress” and the “wings” for each number.
• Associate the mantras around self-care of each of the Enneagram numbers.
• Identify ways the Enneagram might be used in psychotherapy and in our day-to-day dealings with others – including our clients/patients and co-workers.
