Love and the Enneagram

Let's face it - relationships can be challenging. You see the world one way; your partner sees it another. As a result, conflict can abound. In this episode, Certified Enneagram Facilitator Dr. Kelly Wright joins us to discuss how our Enneagram number or type can help us better understand ourselves and how we interact with those around us.

At 4:00, Kelly explains what the Enneagram is, the nine types and why we typically don't "like" our number.

At 7:20, Kelly explains the specific challenges that each type brings to relationships.

At 13:30, Kelly answers the question, "Is there an Enneagram match made in heaven?"

At 17:45, Kelly discusses how couples get "triggered" by one another and explains how long it takes to get "un-triggered."

At 20:00, Kelly, Rachel and Robin discuss how to be OK when the people we love aren't.

At 25:20, Kelly offers additional tips for individuals and couples who are interested in how the Enneagram can enrich their relationships.
