Therapist Panel | "Something Different Needs to Happen"

Michael Shahan to talk about what happens in the therapy room when “something different needs to happen” – and how our Enneagram type often **gets in the way* * of real transformation. We look at the sneaky ways ego disguises itself as “doing the work,” why simply venting or collecting tools isn’t the same as change, and how type-patterns show up when clients resist the very shifts they say they want.We walk around the circle:how 4s, 5s, and 9s can get trapped in their inner world,how 1s, 2s, and 6s outsource their thinking and chase shoulds and diagnoses,how 3s, 7s, and 8s try to outrun their feelings with action and efficiency.Along the way we talk about finding the right therapist, balancing the three centers, working with your repressed center through tiny “micro-moves,” and why noticing your patterns is often the first hard step. We also name a hard truth: Enneagram knowledge isn’t the same as doing the work.If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I know my type and still feel stuck?” this one’s for you.
