Have you ever had a partner's innocent comment trigger an intensely negative reaction? Has your child's acting out pushed you beyond your ability to cope? Has your boss' anxiety, or your best friend's obsession with a partner generated feelings of frustration and boredom?

We all have trigger points from our early childhood, which can be unknowingly triggered by people and situations, causing us to respond with a variety of defenses that are not in the best interests of us, or those around us.

When we know the characteristics of our patterns and reactions of those close to us, it creates a bridge for traversing those times when we find ourselves in the grips of our unconscious, defensive patterns.

This site was created as a resource for both individuals and organizations. If you are unfamiliar with the Enneagram, or would like a refresher overview, we suggest beginning with, Enneagram. Most of your specific questions will be answered on our Programs page.
