What Enneagram Types Learn When They Invest In Their Self-Growth

Enneagram Coaching and Enneagram Therapy are different methods that often reach similar results. What Enneagram Types Learn When They Invest In Their Self-Growth:  

Enneagram 9’s learn how to stay present with themselves, especially in anger.  The power of this is incredible to witness.  9’s learn how to show up and stay with their core selves instead of merging into others or things. 

Enneagram 8’s learn how to embrace tenderness and feel safer in vulnerability.  They learn that embracing vulnerability creates opportunity for others to match their strength- creating deep connection. 

Enneagram 7’s learn how to embody all their emotions and access their deepest selves.  They learn how to not run away and tune into what they really want and need.  

Enneagram 6’s learn how to have trust in the unknown.  They learn how to trust themselves to navigate an ever changing world.  They learn that they can trust their perceptions and stop relying on hypervigilance. 

Enneagram 5’s learn that they have more capacity than they ever believed was possible.  They learn that they are strong and learn to lean into the joy of heart connection with others without fear. 

Enneagram 4’s learn how to empower themselves and challenge their belief of having an inner deficit.  They learn how to undo the pattern of creating separation and loneliness. 

Enneagram 3’s learn how to trust their own authenticity.  They learn to calm the anxiety (sometimes panic) that exists when they stop performing and tune into their hearts needs. 

Enneagram 2’s learn how to value themselves and challenge their shame that tells them that they are not worthy without giving to others first.  They learn how to reduce resentment and make choices that truly serve them (and only them). 

Enneagram 1’s learn how to stop punishing themselves and how to lean out of overthinking.  They learn the value of lightness, joy, and fun.  They learn how to take these experiences off a checklist and embrace them as a way of being.
