Product Information

We each work tirelessly for issues that impact our individual lives, but what if we could step into the field of engagement that is not our own and fight for the issue that is oppressing our sibling? The second part of the book focuses on our number’s “Stance” which has to do with which particular center we tend to repress in our stress responses. Because difference in the Western world is often used as a substitute for wrong, I knew that to survive I’d have to hide parts of myself away.

I messaged the seller and they refunded me for the book and let me keep it as a courtesy for the mix up. This book caused me to feel seen and understood, and also challenged me to go deeper, right here where I am.

The Journey Towards Wholeness” also explores the dynamics of relationships and the intersections between Enneagram types.

This fragmented understanding provided inquiry and healing in insurmountable ways and still, I was left with this unfinished tapestry and the question, “how am I meant to find unity, when all I know how to do is create separation? Stabile explores each of the nine Enneagram types in detail, providing insights into their core fears, desires, and patterns of behavior. Susanne has taught me well, but my question has been, “What work can I do to balance the forces of the centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling and doing In my everyday life to use my gifts and function with comfort and success. Many use the Enneagram as a crutch, "this is just who I am," but Suzanne helps you level up, go deeper under the surface, lift up the hood and get dirty, metaphor metaphor metaphor (bet you can guess my type).Using the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each number's preferred and repressed center of intelligence and its role in helping us find internal balance. This is the true gift of the Enneagram: an end to the train wreck of outside-in change with wallpapered righteousness that never reaches the heart.

The reward of this diligent soul work is a healthy working relationship with thinking, feeling, and doing. The book encourages readers to approach the Enneagram with humility, openness, and a commitment to ongoing learning and development. This book focuses in on how different Enneagram types respond under stress, and how one might grow into health. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to dig deeper into their study of the enneagram, and for those looking for practical ways to apply enneagram wisdom to their lives.The book does not lean towards any particular type and threads knowledge together in an understandable and necessary way. Stabile provides practical exercises and tools for self-reflection, such as journaling, mindfulness practices, and engaging in honest conversations with trusted individuals. This method is an endless battle towards the wholeness we seek because we will constantly be having new experiences. Suzanna Stabile explores the nine core Enneagram types, each characterized by distinct patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. The conversation about transformation at the heart of all stance work challenges readers to consider how the tendency to be dependent, withdrawing, or aggressive impacts our encounters with others.
