The Enneagram Explanation and Diagram
The Enneagram is a personality typing model that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and regulate and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes 9 personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to show how the types relate to one other.
As we grow into adults we will find our motives and fears are described by one of the nine Enneagram types. Your basic type is influenced by biological factors, but also is affected by our environment and influences growing up. Our family dynamics and parental relationships are huge influence as well.
The Enneagram is used mostly for personal self knowledge and personality. It offers a powerful tool to help you better understand your core motivations and applying those tools to all areas of your life such as, conflict resolution, romantic, emotional intelligence, leadership roles, work dynamics, friendships, and all around life.
I am a 2 on the Enneagram with a stronger 1 wing, but can also adopt my 3 wing. I am very much in the heart triad and feel ALL my emotions. I go to my 8 arrow in stress, but also when I am feeling healthy and strong mentally and emotionally.(but, not overbearing LOL) I go to my 4 arrow in my healthy place. As a 2 I have had to learn strong boundaries, which to me has always meant loss, conflict and rejection. I've also learned not to over give of myself hoping people would love me more if I did. I could go on and on, but I'll save that for our session together!
As an Enneagram Coach I enjoy using this tool when my client is interested in digging deeper into the "why's" of who they are. I love seeing my clients thrive in their strengths and realizing and identifying their shadows or weaknesses.
Being an Enneagram Coach is a speciality kind of coaching alongside my conventional coaching. I can implement it or not. I have some clients who aren't interested and some who are. I am here to make this YOUR safe space and time.
