From the moment a child is born, they are shaped by the world outside themselves. However, if you look at a young child, it is evident that they have their own unique personality. Because of this, various personality typing tools have evolved to help a person understand one’s self and others better. The Enneagram has its roots in ancient tradition, and has become a modern way to synthesize various personality types. The Enneagram outlines only nine personality types; however, this seemingly simple system is quite complex when you look below the surface. In Episode 36, we invited Enneagram Coach Ramona Reid to provide a broad overview of the Enneagram types. Ramona shares the importance of the Enneagram, how groups of Enneagram types operate in similar ways, and how we can approach understanding our own Enneagram type. Whether this is familiar or your first time hearing about the Enneagram , this episode will provide you with a better understanding of yourself and others. Key TakeawaysRamona’s journey to getting into the enneagramHer view on what enneagram isOn understanding enneagram for emotional wellbeingHow she correlates somatic experience of emotion and the enneagram typesHer explanation on the nine enneagram types according to the centres of intelligenceHow she distinguishes what enneagram type a person isHer recommended resources on the enneagramHer view on understanding the enneagram types to help people understand things betterHow she uses enneagram to analyze what a person needs in a situationHow she uses enneagram in relationshipsHow enneagram helps in searching for life’s purpose or meaning for herLinksRamona Reid on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-reid-103187b1/Ramona Reid on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rooreid/Enneagram Institute - https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/Holistic Revolution Radio Shows - http://www.mynashvillecenter.com/Green Circle Initiatives - https://www.greencircleinitiatives.com/but-really-how-are-youBookThe Body Keeps the Score by  Bessel van der Kolk M.D. - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18693771-the-body-keeps-the-scoreThe Brain-Based Enneagram by Jerome D.
