The Enneagram is a system that describes nine personality types, based on thought patterns, inner motivations and basic beliefs. It is a self-understanding method that brings the awareness to aspects of our behavior and explains the motivation for our way of thinking, acting and reacting.
Through bringing the awareness to the functioning of our ego-structure, the unconscious thoughts and behaviors lose their power over us. We can stop living on automatic pilot, take more conscious choices and reduce our suffering. The Enneagram helps us also to understand other people and have compassion for them, improving the relationships to our loved ones and at work.
