By definition, the nine Enneagram personality types are problematic, and issues related to the ego affect close relationships.

It's easy to see how the other person brings problems into a relationship, but it's much harder to see how we bring challenges, too. Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes explain the challenges that each of the nine Enneagram types creates in close relationships.

Bea and Uranio are giving a workshop called Art of Conscious Connection: Healing Through Dialogue in January and February of 2025. Participants will explore how styles of communication can help bridge gaps and help overcome challenges. Reserve your spot today by visiting our event calendar. https://cpenneagram.com/live-courses

When you own your Enneagram shadows, the parts of yourself that remain unconscious, it helps ease pressure on the collective Enneagram shadows in society. 

Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes discuss what shadows each Enneagram type has that can cause roadblocks to connecting with others. When facing these unconscious shadows, we can see a path forward to bridge the divide in increasingly more challenging times.

Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes discuss how early childhood development is impacted by Enneagram types. As adults, if we make the connections between our current struggles to unattended needs that come from childhood, it can make behavioral changes easier. 

This valuable theme is taught in the CP Enneagram Academy’s professional Enneagram Skills workshop, which is offered online each year.  

They reference Sigmund Freud, Claudio Naranjo, Karne Horney, and many others who have paved the way to understanding this relationship between nature and nurture.

Humility is an important concept in inner work according to many spiritual traditions. In some ways, it’s a key part of what the Enneagram is about, which is disidentifying with ego. 

Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes will discuss how humility is commonly understood but also how we might understand it when we are using the Enneagram for inner work.  They discuss how pride shows up in all nine types and all three dominant instincts, and how humility can help us discern the difference between ego and our true selves.

Our personality is a defensive coping structure to protect us from pain, including traumatic injury. This defense mechanism was necessary when dealing with trauma at the time, but afterward, we tend to have problems that flow from that defense that block our growth. It becomes like a wound that hasn’t been healed and creates challenges for change. Uranio Paes and licensed psychotherapist Beatrice Chestnut share specific cases they had with clients of each Enneagram type when healing trauma. 

CP Enneagram Academy has Enneagram inner work retreats that use trauma healing to help students. 

If you are working through trauma or know someone who is, go to ⁠https://cpenneagram.com/live-courses⁠ to learn more about our inner work retreats.
