The Enneagram and NLP: A Journey of Evolution

Here, for the first time, the Enneagram personality typing system is integrated with the powerful transformational techniques of NLP to form a methodology for therapy and a systematic approach for personal evolution. The authors, both therapists, have successfully integrated Enneagram theory with NLP patterns, so that once your Enneagram type is defined, you can learn and practise type-specific change work. Step-by-step guidelines for an array of therapeutic interventions are given, including: changing limiting beliefs and expectations transforming phobic responses reframing the meaning of experience building Time Lines to achieve goals recognizing sensory representational systems and visual cues creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment Therapists and NLP Practitioners alike will discover valuable strategies for changework with their clients-students in both fields and will gain better insight into each model - and those pursuing self-knowledge will find this book an enlightening guide on their journey. The Enneagram is an ancient typology of personality that provides an important key to our strengths and limitations, our preoccupations, passions and defenses. NLP is a model that identifies the perceptual, cognitive and behavioral patterns underlying our subjective experience. These two models enrich and enhance each other: increased self-knowledge and awareness combined with the tools of nonjudgmental thinking and the specific patterns of change give greater depth and meaning to our journey of evolution. Now therapists can refer to The Enneagram and NLP: A Journey of Evolution to help clients clarify their personality traits and resolve critical emotional issues.
