What is the human person, and how shall we best understand him or her? Why do we react to others the way we do? Why do we fall into the patterns we do? Most importantly, how can gaining a greater understanding of our interior worlds help is to grow in health, in sobriety, in presence and connectedness, and grow closer to Christ?
Rhys Pasimio and counselor colleague, Orthodox friend, and fellow podcaster Christian Gonzales take a surface level look at the Enneagram and the Internal Family Systems counselor modality. Literature abounds to describe both of these powerful tools; in this conversation, Rhys and Christian reflect primarily on their own experiences of finding their Enneagram Number and getting to know their own Parts. They compare and contrast the language and frameworks of each, and further look at them through the lens of Orthodox Christianity.
