Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez

This has been an incredible season to create with amazing guest teachers on the podcast as well as incredible people just like you that jumped into the coaching space with me for the live coaching episodes. I feel honored & humbled when I look back through the episodes at the many people gracious enough to share in those conversations with me.I started this podcast in August this past fall releasing episodes each week, but as my kiddos transition out of the school year, I've realized that I have to set some parts of my work aside so that I have the space to show up & be present with my kiddos.So, Enneagram Friends, here is what you can expect from me this summer. You can expect that I will keep learning & growing this summer. I'm currently half-way through a 100hour Somatic Stress Release training so that I can add somatic stress coaching into my Enneagram coaching. As I work with individuals in the coaching space, so often these moments of overwhelm & chaos surface no matter what the Enneagram Type and so this program is another set of tools & skills to best support my clients.You can also anticipate that I will have less availability this summer as I spend time with my kiddos. If you're interested in starting a coaching relationship to meet weekly in the coaching space or even to just schedule an initial session, I want to encourage you to do that sooner than later as my availability will fill up quickly. Don't wait to get the support you need.And lastly you can anticipate that I'll be back on the podcast this coming fall - continuing to provide spaces for you to increase your self-awareness through the lens of the Enneagram & invite you to consider some of the tools & practices you can incorporate to move out of feeling stuck into truly thriving. This is the farewell to Season 2 and a promise to join back with you in the fall. I hope that your summer is filled with hope, possibility, & joy - and if you find that it's not - come join me in the coaching space. Until then friends!Interested in Enneagram coaching?

Chichi Agorom joins the podcast today to share about her new book The Enneagram for Black Liberation and to offer deeper insights on some of what she shares in her writings. We explore the idea of our Enneagram Types as armor with the awareness that those who hold marginalized identities aren't always safe to put down the armor of their Type. Chichi contends that the Enneagram is not just a system for individual freedom & wholeness, but rather one that can move us towards collective wholeness & liberation. Chichi Agorom is a lifelong student of what it means to be fully human. She is a Certified Enneagram Teacher & Practitioner, Adjunct Faculty with the Narrative Enneagram, and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Post-Master's Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.

In this coaching session with an Enneagram Nine, we explore the deep desire for both peace & autonomy. She shares the experience of digging her heels in when others are pushing or pulling her as well as the internal desire to not have such stubborn boundaries with others. We explore the “too muchness” & overwhelm that's felt in the Type Nine structure and how we can help support ourselves so that we don't instantly collapse or hide when we feel swept up in the undertow of others. In our coaching conversation, we give some language to the felt-sense of boundaries and the overwhelm so that we have more awareness of our experience in real-time. I hope you'll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience.Interested in Enneagram coaching?

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Eight from the other side of the globe in Cape Town, South Africa. In our conversation, we explore how the protective-nature and energetic intensity of the Type 8 structure often causes us to react in more controlling ways than intended. We sense into the somatic experience of both the charged-up intensity of protecting others as well as the gentle calmness that we settled into as we processed the emotions coming up for her. Her presence in this coaching conversation beautifully demonstrates how strength AND gentleness are both a part of those of us that lead with Type Eight. If you lead with Type Eight or have Enneagram Eights in your life, this episode is for you. Let's listen in with curiosity & compassion as we transition into the coaching space.Interested in Enneagram coaching?

In this coaching session with an Enneagram Seven, we explore the orientation of positivity and the avoidance of negative emotions as part of her Type-structure. We consider the experience of idealizing a situation and the incredible disappointment that's experienced when the situation doesn't meet what we'd hoped for. We talk about how to experience & metabolize emotions so that they don't keep “hanging out in the passenger seat” unresolved & ignored while we just keep driving on. This Type Seven is a part of a coaching group I facilitate with women that are all in the Assertive Stance, so it was great to have an opportunity to connect with her 1-on-1 in the coaching space. I hope you'll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience.Interested in Enneagram coaching?

Lee Fields, Certified Enneagram Facilitator, offer insights around the intersection of Somatic Experiencing & the Enneagram. In our conversation, we explore how an awareness of our felt-sensations can offer us incredible insight into the manifestations of our Enneagram Types. We also consider some practical steps you can take towards increasing your awareness of your somatic experiencing so that you can begin to work with your felt-sense. Lee offers us a wealth of knowledge in this conversation from her background with the Narrative Enneagram, her Enneagram Applications Certification, the Awareness to Action International School, and Marion Gilbert's Somatic Enneagram program.Connect with Lee Fields for Enneagram coaching or to work with your organization at enneagrammatic.com or on Instagram at @enneagrammatic.Connect with Abbi on Instagram at @enneagramspace or at www.abbirodriguez.com to ask questions about the episode or to explore Enneagram Coaching!

In today's episode, I'm joined in the coaching space by an Enneagram Six that wants to explore the worst-case scenario aspect of her personality. In our conversation we take a look at what's happening under the surface in our nervous system during Six's hyper-vigilance & how we better cope so that we aren't derailed when concerns arise. This Enneagram Six has attended previous workshop series with me & so it was a gift to connect with her in the coaching space for this session.Individual Coaching: Interested in Enneagram coaching?

I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Five and together we explore the orientation to the strong inner world that's a significant element in the Type Five structure. We consider the energy expelled in the mental to-do list that's consistently shifting based on the remaining energy & time for the day. We also explore the sensation of being snapped back into reality when someone abruptly interrupts our thoughts & pulls us out of that internal world. And we also consider the invitation to connect with our kiddos in parenting from a heart space rather than a mental problem solving space. I hope you'll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience. Individual Coaching: Interested in Enneagram coaching?

I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Four that desires to show up well in conversations with her Type Five partner. We explore the feelings of shame that can exacerbate these moments & how we might move out of the heart space into a more embodied approach to processing emotions. We also took a look at the dynamic of Type Four & Type Fives withdrawing and how they can communicate that need well to each other. We also touched on the moment of Type Four to Type Two in seasons of stress. The Type Four in the coaching space for this episode is someone I formerly supervised years ago now, so it was such a gift to be back into a one-on-one space with her again. I hope you'll listen in with curiosity and see what resonates in your experience. Individual Coaching: Interested in Enneagram coaching?

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Three that desires some reprieve from the burden of expectations his Type Three structure often creates for him. We explore the hustle & desire to accomplish that's intrinsic for Type Threes and how we can balance out some of the anxiety & shame around expectations by slowing down to check in with himself.  In our conversation, there's also a gentle invitation to be kind to himself when he notices his Type Three structure emerge, which is a good reminder for all of us as we become more aware of our blindspots. The Enneagram Three in this coaching space is a friend & former co-worker, so it was really a gift to get to share the coaching space with him.

Hey Enneagram Friends! I'm Abbi, an IEA Accredited Enneagram Coach & Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Welcome to my podcast: Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez.

In this season, I'll continue to offer you a glimpse into real live coaching sessions with people just like you that are just trying to live their lives well. As a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I'll incorporate contemplative practices, meditations & somatic breath-work that I have found to be instrumental in moving the Enneagram from intellectual knowledge to transformational wisdom.Outside of the coaching space, I will also teach you how to apply the wisdom of the Enneagram into different aspects of your life from self-care to setting boundaries to navigating relationships.The first episodes in the second season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez releases on January 2nd so follow or subscribe for free wherever you listen to podcasts.

We explore the natural stress response of Type 9s getting pushed over into the lower levels of Type 6 behavior, but we also take a look at some healthy practices to better manage stress by integrating to the higher side of Type 6 as a resource. In our conversation, we talk about the natural fight/flight/freeze response that get's triggered when we experience stress & how we can ground ourselves to reduce our emotional reactivity. This Type 9 was in my previous virtual workshops in the spring, so it was a joy to get to be back in an Enneagram space with her.

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Eight that desires to communicate well with her spouse who leads with Type Two. We explore how vulnerability comes up for Type Eights in personal conflict, and the common misconception that all confrontation is just easy for Eights because the reality is that it's not. We also take a look at the movement to Type Five as a stress point and how that can be a way of retreating for the Eight, but how it can also be a tremendous resource for us to step back and recover. Okay friends, let's listen in with compassion and curiosity to my coaching conversation with our Type Eight.Interested in joining a Type Group?

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Type 7 about navigating the frustration he experiences when what is hoped for or the “ideal” (so to speak) is not met. 7s often have these moments or seasons where their rosy colored glasses get cracked or they just can't find the silver lining in an experience & it weighs heavy on them. It's like all the tender feelings the Type-structure was avoiding come flooding in & it's exhausting & overwhelming. In our conversation, we talk about the loss that we naturally experience in transitions & how we can honor what was lost and find closure.

In this teaching episode, I share with you the process that I guide my coaching clients through when emotions get constricted or feel hard to let ourselves experience. I offer a step-by-step process for experiencing our feelings so that we are not pushing them down into our subconscious and causing a slow build-up of raw emotions that eventually results in some variation of feeling completely overwhelmed. At the end of this teaching episode, I also share with you an eight-minute guided meditation called The Welcoming Prayer.

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Six that has a desire to better navigate worry & fears that come up in relationships, but also that come up in life in general. We talk about how Type Sixes are naturally wired with a greater sensitivity towards potential threats and the invitation to view our fear-response to those threats with more self-compassion. In our coaching conversation, we also explore how to manage fear, worry, & anxiety - and that's truly applicable for everyone, whether you're an Enneagram Six or not. Okay, Enneagram friends, let's listen to this conversation with compassion for the Sixes in our lives as well as a curiosity as we are invited into this Sixes' world for this brief space in time.Register for the virtual Growth & Self Care series workshop series with Abbi at www.abbirodriguez.com/enneagram-sessionsInterested in Enneagram coaching?

In this teaching episode, I share with you some practical tips for incorporating self-care into your everyday rhythms so that you can move out of a place of just surviving each day. The concept of self-care is more and more common in our day and age, but often we are just pandering to our Enneagram Type and not our authentic self. When we think about self-care, we might have a list of self-soothing or comforting activities, but I want to explore with you how we might intentionally care for our heart, mind, & body with our Enneagram Types in mind.Connect with me on Instagram at @enneagramspace to learn more!Register for the virtual Growth & Self Care series workshop series with Abbi at www.abbirodriguez.com/enneagram-sessionsInterested in Enneagram coaching?
