The Enneagram, a well-known psycho-spiritual model for describing personality types and their paths of growth, outlines 9 basic types of human behavior. In what follows, I share what each of those 9 types might do in a relationship when they are in their trance, i.e. when each type is at their lowest level of emotional intelligence and lacks self-awareness of their own shadow. (Of course each of the 9 types has a high side as well, but I won't be going into that as much today.) I also give an antidote for each type, i.e. things each type needs to do to befriend the shadow, progress on the path of personal growth and enhanced emotional intelligence and, consequently, enjoy healthy relationships.
