Nine Lenses On The World: Using Cognitive Therapy To Check Our Enneagram Prescriptions

Schemas are stable and enduring patterns of thinking that develop during childhood and are elaborated throughout our life.  We view the world through our schemas or lenses, which are important beliefs and constructs about the world and ourselves.  Since we accept these schemas without question, they become self-perpetuating and are very resistant to change.  To the extent that our schemas accurately represent reality, they clarify our vision and are useful and self-serving. If our schemas are out of date, they distort reality and end up being self-defeating.

We’ll discover some adaptive or useful schemas for each Enneagram style and what are some typical maladaptive not-so-helpful schemas for each type.

Schemas exert their influence on our behavior and strive to ensure their own survival through three processes of schema maintenance, schema avoidance, and schema compensation.  In this workshop we’ll consider how these processes operate in the nine Enneagram styles.

We’ll see how our schemas maintain themselves by exaggerating information that confirm them or minimizing data that contradict them.  We’ll discover how we cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally avoid triggering our maladaptive schemas to escape the negative emotions they stir up.  And we’ll investigate how we compensate for these schemas by doing the opposite of what they suggest so we can evade triggering the pain they cause.

Finally we’ll learn how to recognize and challenge our maladaptive schemas and replace them with more adaptive ones.

This workshop will involve input, personal reflection, small group sharing, and large group feedback.

There Is Wisdom In The Shadows

Whenever we identify with idealized aspects of our personality (me), we tend to dis-identify with our opposite attributes (not-me).  For example, if we think of ourselves as being loving and kind, then we don’t want to be thought of as being selfish and cruel.  To avoid these unacceptable parts of ourselves, we put them in the basement (our unconscious) where we can forget about them.  We manage this through repression and splitting.  We can also throw out our garbage into others and process it there.  We do this through projection and projective identification.

When we are divided against ourselves, we appear as one-dimensional personalities with internal conflicts and exasperating relationships.  Re-owning our disavowed parts and integrating our inner polarities lead to inner wholeness with an enriched sense of self, increased energy, and undistorted connections with others.

Through illustrations, exercises, and dialogue this workshop will explore each Enneagram style’s ego identifications (me) and their shadows (not-me), the defenses used against our unacceptable parts, and ways of reacquainting us with and reintegrating our disowned characteristics. In short we’ll learn how to re-label, re-own, and re-use all of ourselves. This workshop presumes some prior knowledge of the Enneagram.
