Harnessing the Enneagram: A New Tool for Addiction Recovery
When you look at addictions through the lens of your type, it's like: wow, this is how I spiraled down into addictions because I was avoiding all of these particular things and at the same time is: oh my god, these are the assets of my type and the resilience features and qualities of my type that I can use to embrace recovery in a really meaningful, full-bodied way.
Ever wondered how understanding your personality could help you on your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Recovery On-Air', Renee Siegel takes us on a fascinating exploration of the Enneagram, a personality typing system that categorizes human behavior into nine distinct types. Siegel breaks down how each type has its own motivations, fears, and coping mechanisms, offering a fresh perspective on addiction recovery.
She highlights how recognizing these patterns can uncover our blind spots and help us develop healthier coping strategies. But that's not all – Siegel also delves into the connection between trauma and addiction, introducing the 3M Triad for Wellness as a powerful tool for trauma resolution. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into using the Enneagram to foster compassion and understanding.
