Course Description:
Even though we don’t want to believe it, we bring the good, the bad, and the ugly into the therapy room with our clients. Who we are as clinicians greatly impacts the work of the client. It is vital as therapists that we know ourselves in order to best service our clients.
For centuries the Enneagram has been one of the greatest tools for providing insight and understanding into one’s life. By knowing your Enneagram number, you can maximize your strengths as well as identify your weaknesses in working with your clients. You will be able to identify when you are moving into integration or wholeness and when you are moving into stress, thus potentially negatively impacting your clinical work.
As you learn to use the Enneagram to navigate through the various personalities, you can teach your clients to do the same. Through working with this personality tool, your clients will gain personal insight and find more freedom and wholeness in their lives. They will understand themselves in the context of their relationship with you, which in turn will bring healing in other relationships such as with their partners, family, coworkers, and friends.
