The Defenses and the Enneagram

Each type has a defense mechanism that is the “enforcer,” keeping the type going on automatic and off our screen of awareness. In this workshop, we will explore the way you (unconsciously) protect yourself when you are triggered by fear or stress and create an idealized version of yourself to present to others. This defense keeps you functioning rigidly within the limits of your type. Working somatically with your defense mechanism loosens your structure, giving you more choice, allowing the true gifts of your type to be expressed more freely. In 9 different ways, we are invited to pay attention to something that is largely undercover and automatic.
