Here you will find an interactive and educational webinar introducing you to the Enneagram in couples therapy, led by Michelle Joy, MFT.

This unique and powerful training combines the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy with the Enneagram to help couples transform their relationship in areas they didn’t think was possible.

“I just watched the webinar that Michelle did for the Couples Institute. It was just fantastic. She is a gifted teacher!” ~Dr. Deborah Russo, Psy.D

A NEW WAY TO STOP OLD PATTERNS

Exploring the Enneagram types help you understand why couples keep repeating the same patterns over and over again, no matter how hard you try to get them unstuck. Using this framework helps clients grow and unite over their differences.
This well-researched system is often the missing key to understanding constantly recurring relationship issues. A huge lightbulb goes off for couples when introduced to this new way of better understanding themselves and their partner.

Learning the Enneagram can help your couples:

• Clarify their strengths
• Understand different communication styles
• Discover how to best support one another
• Explore potential conflicts of each type and how to navigate them
• Build compassion and understanding through appreciating differences
• Discover tools and insights to help partners grow into their best selves
• The Enneagram is easy to understand and can be applied in any session, at any stage of therapy. Clients love to learn more about themselves, and they love to have a framework for understanding.

“Michelle’s Enneagram course provided me with a valuable tool in my work with couples and for my own relationship. You will be surprised how much you resonate with your type or how well a type describes your partner!” Julia Pinsky, MFT
