IDENTIFYING AND WORKING WITH OUR
SWEET SPOTS, BLIND SPOTS, HOT SPOTS AND DESIRED SPOTS:
Using The Enneagram’s Spots to Understand our Intrapsychic and Interpersonal Dynamics
We’ll explore what each style brings to the table and what would be missing if they weren’t there.
Each Enneagram style has sweet spots where there is a clarity of vision, an intuitive edge. We look for what we value, what is important to us. We see some things clearer and sooner than others do.
Each style has blind spots, some aspects of ourselves, others, and the world that we overlook but that others see more easily. Some see others’ needs but not their own; some notice ideas but miss feelings; some accentuate the positive but eliminate the negative.
We also have hot spots: vulnerabilities that are usually found around our early childhood hurts and vulnerabilities. Our personality style develops to make sure we don’t get hurt again. Ironically our defensive strategy invariably causes the very state we’re trying to avoid.
Each Enneagram style also has desired spots – what each style really wants and needs. Our deepest desires are what make us truly human and lead us to our true selves.
Workshop objectives:
- Participants will appreciate the gifts of each style and what each has to offer us – their sweet spot.
- Participants will see what each style might miss or avoid – their blind spot.
- Participants will understand what each style is particularly sensitive about and how they protect this vulnerable part of them – their hot spot.
- Participants will become acquainted with what each style really seeks – their desired spot.
