Enneagram and Defence Mechanisms: Moving Beyond Your False Self

Event Date(s): Sat, 2024/10/26 - 9:00am to 12:00pm
Event Location: Online - Zoom
Event Type: Tyndale Spiritual Formation Centre

Explore the way you protect yourself when you are triggered by fear or stress and create an idealized version of yourself to present to others. You do this in order to be acceptable to God, others and self. Awareness of your own and others’ defence systems can help you be more authentic, caring and understanding of others.

Learning Objectives:

  • To learn more about the vulnerability underlying your personality type
  • To see how the idealized version of yourself helps you cope.
A week ahead of the actual workshop date participants will be given access to videos to be viewed ahead of the class. The zoom time together will assume the participants have watched the videos. Please register early and come prepared to the zoom time with your questions and queries.
