The Enneagram
Reconnect with yourself and others by discovering who you are beyond the level of personality
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Carl Jung
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-discovery, personal growth, and fostering empathy in relationships. It is a dynamic personality system that outlines nine interconnected personality types, each representing distinct patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It offers a comprehensive framework to understand individuals’ core motivations, fears, desires, and potential growth paths. At its core, the Enneagram conveys to us that we are much more than our personality and guides us back to our true nature.
Benefits of Working with an Enneagram Coach for Personal Growth:
Getting Started: Identify Your Type
If you do not know your type, I will help you identify your type and subtype through interview questions or online assessment. From there you will explore your instinctual sequence, the three centers of intelligence, your wings and arrows associated with your type to understand your core motivations, fears, and patterns of behavior as well as to provide insights into your strengths, blind spots, and areas for growth.
Customized Approach
Once you have identified your Enneagram type, I will tailor my guidance to your specific Enneagram type, subtype, personal needs and interests. I will help you identify and navigate your unique challenges and opportunities for growth. Together we will identify specific qualities and behaviors to cultivate to move towards a more balanced and harmonic state. I will provide a source of structure and partner in your accountability to suit your needs.
Identification of Blind Spots
I can assist in uncovering your blind spots/shadows —those aspects of yourself that you may not be fully aware of or reluctant to acknowledge. Our sessions will be guided by your current, everyday life circumstances, giving you real-time feedback when your thoughts, feelings and actions are being driven by personality or distorted instincts. This insight can be transformative for personal healing.
Identify Triggers and Automatic Responses
The Enneagram helps you recognize the patterns and triggers that lead to unhealthy reactions. By becoming aware of your automatic responses, you can interrupt negative patterns and consciously choose healthier, more constructive behaviors. This self-awareness enables you to make conscious choices rather than being driven solely by unconscious reactions.
Emotional Healing
With my support and guidance, you will explore unresolved emotional wounds tied to your type and work towards healing and emotional well-being. I will guide you in identifying stress triggers and offer coping strategies that align with your type’s tendencies. I will incorporate various therapeutic and self-care techniques, creating a comprehensive approach to your personal healing and growth.
Improved Relationships
Understanding your Enneagram type and learning about other types can improve your relationships. I will offer insights into the dynamics between different types and help you communicate and connect more effectively. I can provide strategies to navigate conflicts and challenges based on Enneagram insights, promoting more constructive and empathetic interactions.
Goals and Intentions
I will guide you in setting meaningful goals aligned with your Enneagram type and establish your personal intentions in various areas of your life, such as relationships, career, health, personal development, or spirituality. While goals provide direction and structure, your intentions shape how you approach and experience your life as well as provide a framework for living with purpose and mindfulness.
Supportive Partnership
You are not alone. I will provide a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental partnership as you explore deep-seated beliefs, emotions, and experiences. I will guide you to work with your own inner wisdom to unlock the powerful resources already within you to rebuild trust and confidence in yourself and with life.
Spiritual Growth
The insights gained through Enneagram coaching can lead to lasting transformation, as you integrate your newfound self-awareness, strategies and practices into your daily life. Those willing to put in the necessary work have the opportunity to truly move beyond ego into their true nature and reside there even in the most challenging circumstances. It’s a personal journey that often leads to greater fulfillment, inner peace, and a harmonious relationship with the world around you.

I really cannot say enough about the power and wisdom within the Enneagram’s complexity. It can be daunting to take on alone. Working together, I could help you focus on what would most benefit you based on your type, where you are in your life and your personal growth intentions. Each session will be customized to you, where we will focus on key aspects of Enneagram wisdom as it relates to what life circumstances are currently arising for you.
By incorporating the wisdom of the Enneagram and integrative healing practices, I equip my clients with the tools and insights they need to overcome obstacles, cultivate self-awareness, and achieve lasting positive change. Whether facing career transitions, relationship difficulties, seeking personal fulfilment, or wanting to deepen Spiritual Growth, I provide a holistic and personalized approach tailored to each client’s specific needs.
I look forward to hearing from you. -Darnelle
