Why is the Enneagram so useful?

“At first glance, the Enneagram seems to be just another system for pigeon-holing people. But look twice and you see it’s describing something central: your core strategy for making sense of reality, your basic life stance, the axis of your flat earth. As you investigate the system and compare its insights with your own experience, you may be amazed at its depth and accuracy."

Tom Condon: Enneagram Teacher, Counsellor, Author, Coach, Supervisor.

The patterns in the Enneagram model describe what Tom Condon calls "Reality Strategies".  
These develop early in life, shaped by our innate temperament and by the nature of the early holding environment.

The strategies were once marvellous adaptations, but the significant problem is that, in the adult here and now, they are a defence against a past that no longer exists. 

Used well, the Enneagram becomes a tool for understanding and freeing us from outdated forms of consciousness and their distorted preoccupations. 
The ultimate gift it offers is the freedom of more intentional life. 

A lens of compassion & a wake-up call

Begin to recognise and heal the wounds that underly the self-derailing patterns in your relationships, health, management of your finances, and your ability to actualise your full human potential.

It starts with recognising that unconscious suffering has been driving our behaviour, and that our Type is causing the very things that we have been trying to avoid.

We recognise that our outdated Type patterns are making our life, or a particular aspect of our life, unmanageable. 
The lies and traps of our type 

Deeper Enneagram teaching: The Enneagons of the Lies and the Traps

Lesser-known elements in the Enneagram - the Enneagons of the Lies and Traps - are particularly helpful wisdom in the Coaching context. Not to diagnose our clients, but to notice them in ourselves as practitioners. Sometimes we try to "teach" a coachee our coping strategy, and it is unfortunately a fake cure (Lie) and a Trap. This is a powerful reminder of the fact that we are all looking for the right things, just in all the wrong places. 

Do you know who are these people are?
