Working on Your Shadow with the Enneagram


Listen Later

The Enneagram has been one of the greatest tools in my journey towards self-discovery. This episode is all about diving into what the Enneagram is all about and how it can be an excellent guide into beginning shadow work. "Shadow" is a term used by Carl Jung to describe the parts of our personalities that we actively and unconsciously suppress from a young age as a means of survival. Personality as a whole can also be called our "false self" (another Carl Jung term) as it is a story we tell the world about who we are in order to gain love and acceptance. If any of this sounds intriguing to you then by all means, come along for the ride!
