THE ENNEAGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES

Know your pattern. Choose your practice.

You know the thing you do. You've promised yourself you'd stop. Then pressure rises and you do it again.

The Enneagram shows you why. Then we practice something better.

Nine patterns. One map.

The Enneagram maps nine patterns of motivation. It doesn't describe what people do. It explains why they do it, and what they reach for when pressure rises.

Two people can do the same thing for different reasons. One works late because the work has to be right. One works late because someone might need them. Same behavior. Different pattern. Different practice.

Three centers.

  • Body 8, 9, 1

    Leads with instinct. Under pressure, reaches for control.

  • Heart 2, 3, 4

    Leads with feeling. Under pressure, reaches for approval.

  • Head 5, 6, 7

    Leads with thinking. Under pressure, reaches for certainty.

The Enneagram does not put you in a box. It shows you the box you are already in.

Your type is where it starts.

I use the iEQ9 from Integrative Enneagram Solutions. 175 questions. About 30 minutes. A report of more than 40 pages that reads five layers deeper than a number.

Wings.
The neighboring types that color yours.
Lines.
Where you go under tension, and where you find release.
Subtype.
Your type combined with your strongest instinct. There are 27. This is why two people with the same type can look so different.
Integration.
How much of your day runs on autopilot.
Strain.
How much stress you are carrying right now, across five areas of life.
FOR INDIVIDUALS

30-Day Enneagram Practice

Understand your pattern. Practice a different response.

Reading about your type feels like progress. It is a start. Understanding everything changes nothing.

So this is built around practice. One pattern. One month. One review of what happened.

WHAT YOU GET

DAY 1

  1. 1

    The iEQ9 Professional assessment. 175 questions, about 30 minutes, and a report of more than 40 pages.

  2. 2

    A 90-minute debrief. We confirm your type, read the report together, and pick one pattern in a situation that matters.

  3. 3

    A one-page practice plan. What keeps happening. How you will catch it earlier. What you will practice instead. How we will know it worked.

  4. 4

    A short written check-in each week.

  5. 5

    A 50-minute practice review at day 30. What you tried, what held, and what to change.

FOR COUPLES

Couples Foundation

Two patterns. One practice.

You keep having the same fight. The topic changes. The pattern stays. One of you moves toward. One of you moves away. Both of you are protecting something.

When you can each see your own pattern, you can stop fighting your partner's.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Two iEQ9 Professional assessments and reports.
  • A private 50-minute debrief for each of you.
  • One joint 90-minute session. Twenty minutes on each pattern, then fifty building and rehearsing practices together.
  • A Couples Practice Map to take home.
  • An EnneagramGenius pairing read written about the two of you.

ABOUT SHAUN

I'm a Nine. My pattern is going quiet to keep the peace. It has cost me my peace every single time, and I practice speaking sooner.

I've been an iEQ9 Accredited Practitioner since 2020. I spent seven years taking every person who joined goodr through their type. I wrote Practice Everything.

QUESTIONS

Before you book.

The iEQ9 Professional from Integrative Enneagram Solutions. 175 questions, about 30 minutes, and a report of more than 40 pages. It covers your type, wings, lines, and subtype, plus how you handle communication, feedback, conflict, and decisions at work.

If you have an iEQ9 Professional report, we use it and you save $120. If your type came from a free quiz or a book, take the iEQ9. Self-typing misses often, and the report gives us far more to work with.

No. This is coaching. It builds awareness and practice. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and it does not replace a therapist.

Both. Individual and couples sessions are virtual by default. Travel outside Southern California is quoted separately.

If you can see the pattern, you can change it.

Tell me what keeps happening. I'll tell you where I'd start.
