Love & Sex
A Talk by Valerie Wanamaker (Therapist & Enneagram Teacher, Enneagram School of Awakening & Valerie Wanamaker Counseling)
About this Talk
The enneagram is a beautiful tool to help us investigate where we get stuck in our efforts to connect in love, intimacy, and sex, both with ourselves and others. By taking a close look at the patterns that evolve out of our enneatype and sub-type, we can be more observant of the defense mechanisms that block connection and the counterproductive boundaries that prevent intimacy. We will debunk some myths about sex as related to desire & arousal, and highlight some of the common attitudes that the different enneatypes have regarding sex. When it comes to love & sex, communication is key. Knowing what questions to ask ourselves and our partners is the first place to start the conversation.
