Enneagram-Informed Therapy
The Enneagram draws from ancient spiritual and philosophical wisdom and has evolved into a meaningful tool for self-discovery. Today, it is used in therapy, coaching, and personal growth to help people better understand themselves, recognize recurring patterns, strengthen relationships, and move toward lasting change.
Understanding Patterns
In therapy, the Enneagram offers a meaningful way to explore the motivations, fears, and emotional needs that shape how you think, feel, and respond. As you begin to recognize patterns that may have once helped you feel safe but now keep you feeling stuck, you can approach yourself with greater compassion, build healthier relationships, and make choices that more closely reflect the life you want to create.
The Three Centers of Intelligence
The Enneagram describes three centers of intelligence: the Head, Heart, and Body. The Head helps us think, plan, and seek security; the Heart guides our emotions, relationships, and sense of identity; and the Body connects us to instinct, intuition, and action. While we use all three, we often rely more heavily on one. Therapy can help bring these centers into greater balance, allowing us to respond to life with more awareness, compassion, and intention.
