    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know about the Enneagram and working with me

    Clarity and orientation for your personal transformation

    Here you will find the most important answers to questions about the Enneagram and how it can support you on your path of inner work. I also address what you can expect from working with me, and what you cannot.
    WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM?

    The Enneagram is a symbol connected to a profound wealth of knowledge. It combines ancient Western wisdom about fundamental aspects of human nature with modern psychological insights. The modern approach of the Enneagram assigns a specific personality type to each point of the symbol, nine in total. It allows us to explore the habitual behavioral patterns that control us.

    Our Enneagram type essentially represents those limited parts of our self with which we falsely identify. A type consists of attitudes, fears, motivations, beliefs, emotional patterns, thought patterns, and behaviors. It is important to emphasize that while we have a dominant type that acts as the central pivot of our psyche, we fundamentally carry aspects of all types within us. The type is not what makes us who we are at our core.

    The Enneagram is suitable and meaningful for everyone. It is about better understanding human nature, oneself, and the people around you. Since we live in social structures and interact with people daily, this knowledge is applicable in any situation. However, you will benefit from the Enneagram especially if you…

    ▷ …want to understand why people are so different and yet so similar.
    ▷ …are looking for a clear, easily understandable explanation of your behavioral patterns.
    ▷ …are curious why you often act the same way in different situations.
    ▷ …desire a solid foundation for your personal development.
    ▷ …long for a deeper connection to yourself and others.

    The Enneagram helps us recognize the habitual structures through which our experiences are filtered. It makes exactly that accessible to us which otherwise remains hidden in the subconscious. The Enneagram offers a non-judgmental and understandable language to work consciously with these structures and patterns. Applied in this way, the Enneagram is less about defining who we are, but rather about revealing who we have learned to be. And from this understanding, a space of possibilities begins to open up.

    Together, we identify your dominant Enneagram type. Based on this, we create an individual development plan to find the best possible path for your personal growth. I place a special focus on mindfulness and establishing a positive relationship with the structures of your personality. Only when we understand that these patterns are not an unnecessary burden, but can play a supporting role in our lives, can we perceive their true strengths and consciously use them for our further development.
