Description

Regardless of our clinical orientation, much of what we do starts with offering clients new, creative ways of connecting with their authentic selves. The Enneagram—a dynamic personality typing system with nine core personality types—can be one of those ways, providing an accessible blend of psychological and spiritual concepts. In this session, you’ll discover how to use the enneagram with clients and have an opportunity to experience the transformative power of the enneagram firsthand. You’ll explore:

  • Details about the nine core personality types that compromise the Enneagram
  • How to use the Enneagram to join with, relate to, and empower your clients quickly and effectively
  • How to integrate the Enneagram into your current practice
  • Enneagram-informed somatic and mindfulness techniques to foster balance and openness in clients
