| Description | Enneagram personality typing system integrated with NLP to form a powerful methodology for therapy and personal evolution. A very different take.
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 practice type-specific changework.
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 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 out subjective experience. These two models enrich and enhance eachother: 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.

"The authors have discovered links between NLP techniques and the Enneagram of personality types. I know little about NLP, but if it is as clearly defined as the Enneagram side of their equation, it will all add up to an excellent handbook."

"The authors are therapists. The language is moderately technical, the examples are case histories and the observations are clinical. But while the book has enough depth to make it valuable for fellow therapists, the 100 pages of extended appendices make it clear it is for anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge of either discipline."
