“The Enneagram helps put words to clients’ experience of themselves in a non-judgemental way and start to notice the intricacies of their way of being in the world. It sheds light on ways of thinking and behaviors that are so ingrained and natural, that they might not even be noticed or questioned otherwise. It’s also these ingrained patterns that are the things that often get in the way of connection, that make us feel discord within ourselves. So when we have the words and a better understanding of our personalities and how they can keep us stuck, we can start to challenge them and add flexibility.”

“It allows me to understand why people do the things they do and operate the way they operate. Clients just want to be understood and I can do that easily when I use the Enneagram. It also helps me understand myself better so I can run my practice efficiently and take care of myself well.”

“I like using Enneagram with clients to help give words to experiences that often feel unconscious or automatic. In my own work, I have found the Enneagram has helped create a common language that has helped clients have more awareness of what isn’t conscious or simply automatic.”

“The Enneagram is a powerful tool to reveal the egoic and personality patterns that are protecting a person’s sense of themselves and their coping mechanisms. It reveals the shadow, limitations to healing; true self-awareness. In practice, this can be used to help someone see themselves more clearly and invite themselves to walk into the self-awareness required for healing and transformation.”
