Enneagram Coaching
Empowering Individuals to Empower Change
You love the Enneagram, and you are dedicated to doing the work of your type. The Enneagram isn’t a simple personality model that shows you just your traits and characteristics. You see yourself intimately in it. It’s like looking into a mirror and seeing yourself clearly for the first time. Learning your type illuminated how you unintentionally create disconnection from others and get in your own way. It showed you that, despite your best efforts to show up for yourself and the people you love, sometimes you push them away and may even unintentionally hurt them. You see how your type impacts your ability to effectively stand up and fight for the causes you deeply care about. It has even shown you how you continuously harm and silence yourself.
You can see your Enneagram type showing up in every single area of your life- your relationships, your career, your down time, and your family. This kind of clarity hurts, and you know that the only way to keep growing is to understand and accept yourself fully. You believe in the power of self-work and self-knowing. You know that when an individual is growing and getting healthier, they impact everything around them. You want to have this kind of impact and be a part of the change that our world desperately needs, and you can sense your Enneagram type’s fears and patterns are holding you back from this.
The path forward to unlearning your type’s patterns may feel daunting and confusing. Listening to podcasts and reading about the Enneagram has helped you learn more about your type and the work you need to do, but there are aspects of your type that seem impossible and maybe even terrifying to work through. Though you are driven and even excited to do this challenging work, a part of you may fear that you are not actually capable of it. You may fear that you will always be stuck and not be able to create the kinds of meaningful love, connection, and change that you want for yourself and others. You may fear that your Enneagram type will always hold you back.
What will our sessions be like?
Finding it challenging to do the work of your type is normal. It’s one of the biggest signs that you’ve got your type right. During your first session, we will explore how your Enneagram type is manifesting in your life right now. This may include relationship struggles, challenges at work, or struggles with worth and believing in yourself. Your type is showing up in every area of your life, but we will focus on the areas that are currently the most challenging and relevant for you. During our sessions, I will ask you questions specifically designed to challenge and support you in your growth. I will get you to dig deep so you can understand the root of your type’s patterns. This includes tuning into your body and learning to understand what it’s communicating to you. While there are specific Enneagram types that are more disconnected from their bodies, every type has physical sensations and somatics that are sources of self-knowing and wisdom. Learning to identify these sensations and what they mean will help you do the most challenging work of your type. We will practice tuning into and integrating the three intelligence centers of the body, the heart, and the mind.
What will this work do in my life?
Working with the Enneagram on this advanced level can shift multiple areas of your life. Healthy empowerment in one area bleeds into others. All of the Enneagram types are held back in some capacity. Learning how to face the more challenging parts of your type leads to more connection, more courage, more inner strength, and more confidence in your capacity to make change. It leads to healthier relationships with others and with yourself.
Take a moment and imagine believing in your ability to challenge the deepest fears of your type. Imagine the feeling of showing up for yourself and others in a more grounded and empowered way.
When you believe in your capacity to show up for yourself and others, what might change in your relationships, your career, and your community? Our world is facing so many complex challenges, and your personal work can prepare you to know what to do in the face of them. When an individual is growing and getting healthier, they impact everything around them. When one individual is empowered to use their voice in a healthy way, it helps create larger change. Healing and empowering yourself gives permission for others to do the same.
Our world needs this, and I’m excited to help you use the Enneagram to get there.
When you’re ready to get started, the first step is to get in touch and schedule a free 20 minute phone consultation. You can ask me any questions you have about Enneagram coaching and get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. I look forward to hearing from you!
