How the Enneagram and Somatics Work Together to Support Deep, Lasting Healing

You can’t think your way into healing.
And you can’t feel your way through it without a guide.

That’s why the Enneagram and somatics work so beautifully together.
One helps you see the pattern.
The other helps you shift it.

This is the work of presence.

Your Enneagram Type Is Not Who You Are...It’s What Protected You

Most people find their type and feel seen.
“Oh… that explains so much.”

But understanding the why behind your pattern is only the beginning.
The deeper transformation comes when you realize:

This pattern lives in your body.
And your body learned it for a reason.

The tension in your shoulders when you take on too much.
The shallow breath before you speak.
The clench in your jaw when you say yes but mean no.

Each type holds a distinct flavor of protection.
A story your body learned to tell - not because you were broken,
but because you were trying to stay safe.

Somatic work helps you hear that story.
Not to judge it. But to honor it.

Insight Without Embodiment Can Only Take You So Far

The Enneagram gives language to the unconscious pattern.
Somatics gives your body permission to respond differently.

Together, they create the bridge between:

• Awareness and action

• Personality and presence

• Insight and integration

Because it’s one thing to know you over-function out of fear.
It’s another to feel that fear… pause… and choose differently.

That’s the power of this integration.
It doesn't rush.
It roots.
In micro-shifts.
In nervous system capacity.
In embodied awareness that changes how you move through the world.

This Is Not About Becoming Someone Else

It’s about returning to who you’ve always been underneath the pattern.

When you work with both tools, it starts to look like:

• Saying no without guilt
• Resting before the burnout
• Softening where you once tensed up
• Letting yourself be seen - without the armor

These are sacred shifts.
They may seem small, but they add up to a whole new way of being.

Why This Matters Inside The Space Between

This is the work we hold here:
• Where pattern meets pause
• Where your type meets your truth
• Where your nervous system can relearn safety

Because deep healing doesn’t come from fixing yourself.
It comes from learning to listen to yourself - fully.
In mind and body.
In insight and sensation.
