By knowing your type, we can further understand and support you in this course. We can explore how your type shows up in you as a climber and in your climbing partnership dynamics.
What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is an ancient framework for seeking self-awareness that was brought into modern psychology in the 1970s. The nine core personality types are nine lenses for which to see the world. They reveal distinct motivations, beliefs, defense mechanisms, gifts and unconscious fears. When we can see ourselves and our patterns, we get closer to consciously choosing how we act, instead of operating on auto-pilot. Rather than putting us in a box, the Enneagram framework helps us become aware of the box we have unconsciously developed around ourselves. In gaining awareness, we engage in the challenging and beautiful work of acceptance and change to become more free.
