The Enneagram is a system that, when applied to your personality, will allow you to discover the characteristics of your ego: your character.

Intro

Introduction to the Enneagram

During this session you will learn about the main characteristics and mechanisms of this precise personality system. We will talk about its origins and its intrinsic dynamics. We will point out the passions and their respective fixations; necessary aspects before presenting each of the enneatypes.

Enneatype 1: Anger

We will begin with one of the instinctive characters, whose passion is anger, and whose fixation is perfectionism. There is in these people a tendency to do things under very exalted and apparently clear moral principles.
If other people do not conform to this subjective view of what is right, they are triggered by feelings of anger or resentment.

Enneatype 2: Pride

During this session you will learn about the main characteristics and mechanisms of this precise personality system.

We will talk about their origins and their intrinsic dynamics. We will point out the passions and their respective fixations. Necessary aspects before presenting each of the enneatypes.

Enneatype 3: Vanity

The passion of this character is vanity, and its fixation: deception.
These people base their worth on the external gaze, therefore, they have specialized in their image and achievement. Consequently, there is a disconnection with their own needs. They are extremely dedicated to work and very pragmatic.

Enneatype 4: Envy

We end the emotional triad with a personality type that tends to feel inferior to others.
No matter how optimal their situation is, there is often an underlying sense of lack. They feel special because of their sensitivity, their connection to pain, and the misunderstanding they experience.

Enneatype 5: Greed

People with this character are usually very reserved, and tend to go unnoticed.
Their passion, greed, is not so much material as knowledge and social involvement. They are the most intellectual of the Enneagram. They feel the world as invasive and are arguably more observers than participants in life. It is common for them to develop a minimalist life, reducing their needs to a minimum.

Enneatype 6: Fear

People of this enneatype feel underlying fear, which shows itself in the form of doubt, worry, hypervigilance, and as fear itself.

They experience a certain background anxiety, stemming from the conception that "the world is dangerous".

Enneatype 7: Gluttony

People with this character tend to adventure and fun. They try to obtain many, and diverse experiences, and when they do not obtain them they recreate themselves fantasizing about them.

In fact, this enneatype is continually in the future. It tires very easily of routine, and tends to avoid painful experiences at all costs.

Enneatype 8: Lust

We return again to the instincts. In this audio we will see a strong and energetic character. They are people of action, dominant and controlling. They are not comfortable with tenderness and weakness.
In general, they seek intensity in an attempt to break through the great armor they created to protect themselves during their childhood.

Enneatype 9: Laziness

We end with the remaining enneatype of the instinctive triad. This personality type does not tolerate conflict well. They seek comfort, and do not value themselves highly. In spite of their passion (laziness) they are very active people, but it is difficult for them to become aware of themselves, and therefore, of their needs.
Their desires are overshadowed by their over-adaptation to their environment.
