The Traveling Enneagram

We have learned so far in our journey into the Enneagram that understanding ourselves and others creates a space for compassion and empathy, and also a space to see people for the goodness that lies within them. What we haven't talked about, until today, is of course all of that, but also how we can empower ourselves to also see what is right about us. My guest for this beautiful episode is Da...

It's hard to think that we all as a human race fit into 9 different types... until you start to dip your toe into the proverbial pool that are the instincts and subtypes.

During this episode, I have a repeat (Read: Ahhhhhmazing) guest, Dr. Jerry Wagner, a ps...

As George Gurdjieff said, and as is true with the program,...

Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and therapist unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal. It's throug...

There's a reason people read the Type 7 description and wish they could be the Adventurer/Enthusiast.
