Join us for this special IEA LIVE Event on Trauma-Informed (TI) Enneagram: Four Important Kinds of Knowing - Presented by Ingrid Hurwitz
This presentation will walk us through four kinds of knowing involved in Trauma-informed work, drawing on Cognitive Science and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®).
Beyond a foundational theoretical knowledge of Heart Wounds, Lost Childhood Messages and a scientific general knowledge of Trauma, three other kinds of knowing are required for our practice to be Trauma-informed.
Perspectival Knowing: How do we see our Role?
In Trauma-informed work are not there to be an expert nor to fix, but to create a space where the self-protective mechanisms of the Type can soften, where lost parts can come home, and where the deeper aspects of the self can be un-forgotten.
Participatory Knowing: How do we enact our Role?
In Trauma-informed Enneagram work our most core activity is to reduce the client’s need to to perform their idealized self-image, evade their feelings and stay out of their body.
Procedural Knowing: What Skills and Techniques should we master?
Whether we specialize in a particular modality or slowly build up a ‘library’ of tried-and-tested techniques and tools, all trauma-sensitive techniques create safety and sufficient resourcing to experience real-time inner processes in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming.
It becomes increasingly clear as we study these insights that a coach, facilitator, or therapist whose priority is to fix, to feel powerful, or worthwhile, or like an expert, is not going to be able to work in a trauma-informed way, but will burden the client with their own ego needs. Luckily the Enneagram, if we use it well, can assist us on the journey of cultivating the kinds of knowing we need to facilitate true self-remembering.
