Enneagram wisdom teaches that we are born with distinctive personalities—a truth easily observed when we notice how different children can be, even when raised by the same parents.

​

As children, we are remarkably resilient and resourceful. Our personalities help us adapt and cope as we navigate the awkward, confusing, and sometimes painful experiences of childhood. These coping strategies serve an important purpose early in life—but because they are so effective, we often carry them into adulthood long after they are needed. When this happens, we can lose touch with who we truly are and begin living from outdated patterns rather than conscious choice.

An Invitation

​

The Enneagram supports self-awareness by helping us recognize these coping strategies and understand how they continue to shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As we become aware of our triggers and habitual reactions, space opens—space to respond as our authentic adult self rather than from a childlike survival stance.

​

Through this work, we can begin to:

​

• Rediscover forgotten strengths, interests, and talents that help us thrive.

• Understand what truly drives us, what helps us feel secure, and what we long for.

• Identify what holds us back, including blind spots, triggers, and reactive behaviors.

• Learn to more clearly recognize and communicate our feelings, wants, and needs.

• Reflect on how we use our energy—both constructively and destructively.

• Explore how we want to be seen and determine whether that image reflects our true self.

 

A deeper understanding of ourselves is a gift—to ourselves and to those around us. This process is often fascinating, sometimes challenging, and ultimately transformative.
