S1 Ep38. Using the Enneagram to Heal Childhood Trauma

"Trauma happens to us, our friends, our families, and our neighbors," says Bessel van der Kolk, seminal author in the study of trauma. And in our work at the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, we know it's true. At every retreat we host, a big portion of our work involves supporting our students in healing from trauma. But how does the Enneagram fit into the equation? Are there specific patterns in the ways that we see different Enneagram types and people of different instinctual sequences dealing with their trauma? In this episode, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes explore this intersection—of trauma and its manifestations in relation to our personalities. Tune into this important episode and learn how this is impacting your life and the lives of those around you.
