Heart Work: Defence Mechanisms of the Enneagram - 3 Monday Evenings

heart shape laid into brick work
 
 

“Come and reconnect to your heart” 


We all come in to this world with unique gifts and equally unique ways of uncovering them.  The compulsions of my enneagram space helps me see where my patterned behaviour is, but what about my work on meeting my heart? 

 
Enneagram showing each defence mechanism
 

Defence mechanisms are shock absorbers or buffers, that protect us from the big reactions we meet as we live our lives. They are coping strategies that smooth out our experiences of anxiety, shame, anger, sadness, etc. 

Over three 2.5-hour sessions we will shine a light on those times where our unique defence pattern helps us skip over our hearts and creates an inauthentic response to the people we love, cutting us off from opportunities to grow.

If you have worked to understand your enneagram space and are looking for a new angle that will challenge you, the work with the defence mechanisms of the enneagram is a great next step.When we begin working with our enneagram number, we think we can quickly figure it all out and then we can go back to our lives. The challenge is that we are very creative creatures. The more we understand something the craftier we are at avoiding it. People who have attended this group in the past have been amazed at the places in their lives that they are no longer attuned to. You will be surprised how you may be passing off a sense of transformation, but you may just be lying to yourself. Some people call this spiritual bypassing.
