Enneagram

What is the Enneagram test? The Enneagram is a personality typing system that explores nine distinct personality types, each with motivations, fears, and behavioral patterns. It serves as a roadmap for self-discovery as it reveals insights into our strengths, limitations, and areas for growth. Understanding your Enneagram type can be helpful because it provides a lens through which you can understand your reactions, relationships, and the way you approach challenges. It can help you identify the road back to your true self.

The benefits of using Enneagram during therapy sessions include:

• Self-Discovery
  Enneagram types can give insights into our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. This will help you become more self-aware.

• Self-Understanding
  Knowing your Enneagram type helps you identify your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth.

• Facilitating Change
  An Enneagram personality test enables you to recognize your patterns and motivations. When you are aware of these, you can work toward developing healthier behavior and coping mechanisms. Eventually, this can result in personal transformation and growth.

At Trust Mental Health, we use the Enneagram as a tool in therapy sessions. 

Assessment Using Enneagram Tests and Questionnaires

We start by using Enneagram tests and questionnaires as an initial assessment tool. These tests serve as a starting point, as they provide insights into a client’s possible Enneagram type. Finding your Enneagram through our assessments will also guide our understanding of your core motivations and behavioral patterns.

Encouraging Self-Reflection

We encourage clients to explore their Enneagram type and discover what motivates them and drives their intentions. Self-reflection is a key component in the therapeutic journey.

Tailoring Treatment Planning to Enneagram Types

Understanding a client’s Enneagram type enables us to tailor interventions and treatment plans specific to their needs. By aligning therapeutic approaches with the nuances of each Enneagram type, we can effectively address issues.

Therapist-Client Communication and Rapport

Considering each client's Enneagram type strengthens communication and creates a deeper therapeutic rapport.
