This continuing education workshop weaves mindfulness practice and Enneagram wisdom to help clinicians recognize how personality patterns emerge as adaptive responses to suffering. Through meditation, inquiry, and embodied awareness, participants learn how to work skillfully with shame, fixation, and reactivity—supporting clients with complex PTSD in moving from defensive patterning toward grounded presence and self-compassion.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to see:
- A framing of Enneagram as a map of psycho-social conditioning— not as a typology to label clients, but as a lens on how trauma crystallizes around core fears and strategies.
- Tools to use mindfulness and meditation practices as nervous-system support— practices that cultivate tolerance for experience rather than bypass it.
- Working with manifestations of shame as central to therapy— how each type organizes around avoiding a specific wound, and how mindfulness softens that structure.
- Embodiment and gentleness— aligning with somatic psychotherapy by staying close to lived, felt experience rather than abstract insight.
- Learning how to help our clients move from fixation to freedom— reframing personality not as pathology, but as a doorway to awakening.
The tone of this workshop is non-pathologizing and invitational—less about technique and more about cultivating our own therapeutic presence as the primary healing field. Attendees will experience a workshop that is:
- Experiential rather than overly theoretical
- Focused on befriending rather than fixing
- Emphasizing compassion, specificity, and curiosity
- Framing the Enneagram as a map of ego survival strategies that can be met with mindfulness awareness
