Spiritual Identity, Idealized Self, and Avoidance Patterns | Lisa Vischer (Ep. 7)
Notas del episodio
In this conversation, Lisa Vischer explains how the Enneagram helps us understand identity, ego, and spiritual growth. We walk around the Enneagram circle and explore how each type forms an idealized self-image, who we think we must be in order to be loved, and the avoidance patterns we use to protect that image.
