For Therapists

Upcoming Enneagram Introductory Courses

From Lynn Turner, PhD, LCSW

Welcome to the Enneagram. This amazing therapeutic tool will give you insights into your clients’ emotions, behaviors, and cognitions (internal messages).

We are born with our Enneagram temperament, the template for our personality. Family, culture, and history form the childhood influences, which are written onto the background of temperament.

For example, the happy-go-lucky Enneagram 7 child is adored in an emotionally healthy family that likes fun and humor. In a strict, upright, or demanding family, the same Joyful child will be seen as hyperactive, a nuisance, and too much. Instead of a gift, the 7 child becomes a burden. As a burden, the child develops life-long insecurities. Later, they may look for therapy to understand themselves.

This class starts with learning your own Enneagram temperament. You will then learn to identify traits in family, friends, and clients. You will then, learn the Mandala of Triads and Triangles and dive deeper into practical application in therapy. For advanced lessons, we move on to other nuances like Wings, Subsets, Research, and Strange Questions.
