In this episode, join Dr. Mona and Dr. Deborah Egerton for a powerful conversation about using the Enneagram for personal growth, social justice, and creating a more unified world.
Dr. Deborah Egerton, affectionately referred to as “Dr. E,” an internationally respected psychotherapist, best-selling author, and President of the International Enneagram Association. In her conversation with Dr. Mona, Dr. E dives deep into the Enneagram, which she describes as the "blueprint of the soul,” and explains to listeners how understanding all the points increases self-awareness, empathy for others, and human connection.
