The Enneagram and Object Relations:  Finding a Niche

Following a thread of interest and insights, we are led to define offerings unique to our skills and experience.  Energized by creativity and a desire to discover, we can find a niche feeds us inwardly while we make a contribution to the field of Enneagram studies and to our clients.

In this presentation I will talk about how I first learned about object relations, why it is important to me, and how I seem to be able to be of service while enjoying myself.  I will review the basic matrix for the object relations patterns underlying the Enneagram and track some of the discoveries that have enriched my teaching and consulting over the years.
