New to the Enneagram? Welcome to your introductory class.
At its most basic level, the Enneagram is a framework that says there are nine personality types, and each of the nine types has a different core motivation driving their behavior and beliefs.
Why do you do the things you do? What motivates you? How do you see the world? How does the world see you?
We all have a little of every type in us, but one of the types is our core type and it doesn’t change. You might wonder why people of the same personality type might outwardly present as very different. There’s several reasons for that, but a primary one is because they have a different subtype.
I don’t want to overwhelm you, so today I’ll focus on walking you through the nine types, and we’ll save subtypes and wings and stress and security points and triads and all that other Enneagram magic for another day. Just know that there is a lot of beautiful nuance to the Enneagram and the point is not to box us into a certain type, but to free us from the negative patterns that hold back our type.
Don’t stress if, after listening to this episode, you’re not sure what your type is. It can take months for people to narrow down their type because it's the first time they've given themselves this time for self reflection.
If you’d like me to guide you through this discovery process, I’d be honored to do an Enneagram typing session with you.
