Enneagramföreningen i Sverige

torsdag 8 februari, 2018

I många år har vi önskat få Tom Condon till Sverige, och nu blir det verklighet! 😃👏🏻21-23/9 i Ullinge. Boka av datumen och håll utkik efter inbjudan!

Vill du ha ett smakprov på Toms klokskap? Här är en färsk artikel om utmaningar kring att ’typa’ och vad Tom kallar ”upplyst skenhelighet”:

"Try to imagine instead a therapist who describes his current group of clients this way: “I have two Germans, a Kenyan, a Chinese, not to mention the Vietnamese couple. It’s good; I always get along with Germans, and Kenyans are easy to change, too. Chinese baffle me, of course, but at least I don’t have any French clients – God, those people get on my nerves! Next week I start working with an Egyptian. Now that should be a challenge.”

Strange as it sounds, I have heard people familiar with the Enneagram talk in the same way, saying things like: “Twos drive me crazy, they’re always invading me. I can’t stand Eights either – they’re so pushy. Fives are my kind of people, though; always so sweet and so shy. Of course, everybody loves Sevens.” I’ve met Enneagram enthusiasts who asked for my Enneagram number before they ever asked for my name.

There is a way to use the Enneagram that is much like bigotry. The two most important ingredients of common bigotry are seeing the other person’s identifying characteristic first and then continuing to see it in a way that eclipses the rest of them – mistaking a part of the person for the whole.

In Enneagram bigotry you look at someone, see their number first and then reframe all their behavior to fit your knowledge of their style. A complex individual then seems like a caricature, rather than a real person with a skewed point of view. His personality style becomes the most outstanding thing about him."

How have you seen "Educated Bigotry" in your experience of working with the Enneagram? ... Se merSe mindre
