The core distressing emotions of anger, shame, anxiety, and sadness can disrupt relationships, work, and faith for many people. This workshop is for a coach, spiritual director, pastor, pastoral counselor, or lay counselor to learn how to use the Enneagram as a coaching tool to help Christian clients identity their type’s maladaptive schema that is shaped by anger, shame, anxiety, and/or sadness. A path is charted for each type to overcome its self-defeating personality pattern and grow in emotional health through coaching that fosters self-awareness, empathy, and relying on Jesus as the perfect expression of their type. Different Scriptures and spiritual disciplines are recommended for each type to learn to trust in God’s compassion for self and others. This model for emotional health coaching and Christian spiritual formation has been field-tested with clients in coaching and spiritual direction and students earning a certificate in coaching and/or spiritual direction.
