Therapeutic Metaphor
and the Enneagram
Using Storytelling to Change Life Scripts

CD-Set by Thomas Condon

An edited workshop to help you:
· Create and deliver effective therapeutic metaphors
· Transform Enneagram life scripts
· Change the metaphors you live by
· Learn to use anecdotes, jokes and humor

· Change Enneagram "Meta-patterns"
· Acquire metaphors and stories for your private practice or professional use

Therapeutic metaphor ­ telling stories to create change ­ is a powerful technique for helping yourself and others grow and change. Stories work so well because they bypass normal ego defenses and communicate directly with the unconscious. The listener often finds fresh perspectives, solutions to problems and new resources for coping and living fully. Derived from clinical hypnosis, therapeutic metaphor has many applications in daily life and is used naturally by good communicators.
In this unique audio program ­ edited from a live workshop ­ you will learn to create and deliver effective therapeutic metaphors as well as use anecdotes, jokes and humor. You will also learn to apply therapeutic metaphors to the needs and dilemmas of each Enneagram style ­ using stories to transform the existing unconscious metaphors and scripts that drive each style.

This CD set is for anyone in the helping professions and also will be valuable to anyone interested in combining effective techniques for change with the diagnostic power of the Enneagram. Thomas Condon demonstrates many useful ways to work with clients and offers dozens of metaphors and teaching stories. True to its content, this CD set offers powerful practical techniques in a highly entertaining way and help you make lasting positive changes.

Enneagram Subtypes
The Subtle Drivers of Unconscious Behavior
By Thomas Condon

    This edited workshop-based on years of experience and research-explores a subtle dimension of the Enneagram - understanding and working with the Enneagram's subtypes. Tom Condon will apply his unique blend of Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP techniques to illustrate ways of identifying and using these immensely helpful distinctions.
    Sometimes called "instinctual variants," subtypes are unconscious drives that alter your experience of your core Enneagram style. Subtypes relate to three key realms of life - how we take care of ourselves, the realm of close relationships and how we relate socially to the larger world.  Your subtype is determined by whether you are unconsciously preoccupied with personal survival (self-preservation), one-to-one relationships (intimate) or groups of people (social).
    Understanding subtypes is exceptionally useful for discovering what further motivates people within their core Enneagram style. Working directly on a subtype theme often leads you more quickly to freedom and change. Learning about subtypes will also help you clarify the confusing variety of expressions that can occur within the same Enneagram style.

Easy In Your Harness: 
The Enneagram and NLP
By Thomas Condon

CDs to help you: 
* Understand yourself and others 
* Combine NLP & Ericksonian tools with the Enneagram 
* Resolve conflicts & improve communication 
* Find new avenues and techniques for personal growth

     The subject of several recent best-selling books, the Enneagram is a powerful overview of human psychological types. It describes nine distinct personality styles, their inner motivations and relationships. Each personality style is characterized by a consistent set of themes - scripts people live out that repeat conflicts as well as strengths & possibilities for growth. 
     This new tape series, edited from a Lifethemes workshop, is an excellent introduction to the Enneagram and offers powerful tools for therapeutic change. Newcomers appreciate Thomas Condon's vivid descriptions and everyday examples of personality styles. 
     Those familiar with the Enneagram will enjoy a new perspective on the system - one that emphasizes growth and change and possibility. Those with therapeutic or "people-helping" back-grounds will find a large range of new techniques for promoting change and working well with others. 
      The Enneagram is also an excellent guide for personal evolution. These tapes offer many ideas for making changes,improving relationships, and enhancing the gifts of your style. They offer a rich mixture of lecture, case histories, interviews and discussion. They are for anyone seeking new horizons in your personal or professional growth.

What People Say:
     "Freedom is relative. We can never be free of our Enneagram proclivities - our harness, if you will - but we can adjust our compulsions so we can be comfortable and productive. This is what NLP does with the deep Enneagram patterns.
     "In this series, Thomas Condon, author of the popular series of video reviews in the Enneagram Educator and founder of The Changeworks, explains and demonstrates how these two traditions enrich each other. Because of the clarity of the examples and the masterful use of metaphor and humor, Condon is easily understood by beginners, even though this is advanced material for his audience of practicing therapists and teachers. He is also effortlessly entertaining." - The National Catholic Reporter
     "The Enneagram is an ancient system for understanding the structure of personality. According to the Enneagram, there are nine basic personality styles, although within each style there is much complexity. Thomas Condon has been studying and working with the Enneagram for almost 20 years and his depth of understanding is apparent. His fascinating, rich descriptions of each personality style allows for an easy recognition of your own.
     "The Enneagram points to patterns of behavior, but more importantly to patterns of perception that are powerful because they are repeated unconsciously. Condon shows us the internal workings of personality-the inner motivation rather than the outer behavior, the driving unconscious belief rather than its surface expression. Condon says, "The Enneagram is about the thought that we think all day long... our central operating strategy." In NLP terms, it shows us what we are moving towards or away from all the time.
     "NLP provides a model for understanding how people function based on how we represent the world to ourselves. Based on that understanding, we can change patterns of thought, belief, or behavior. Or enhance and improve what already works well.
     "Condon uses NLP techniques to work directly on the internal sructure of each Enneagram strategy. Using NLP this way tends to make changes more generative; they tend to last through time and generalize throughout the client's life.
     "The Easy In Your Harness tape series was taped at a live workshop. In order to demonstrate his method of using NLP combined with the Enneagram, Condon actually does changework on the tapes. After his description of each Enneagram number, Condon works with a participant who identifies him or herself as having that personality style.
     "Throughout this tape series, Condon demonstrates the power of the marrying the Enneagram's insights with the effectiveness of NLP techniques. He has an informal, conversational style that makes both listening and learning a pleasure. As Condon explains and demonstrates, the Enneagram is not about labeling ourselves or others but about understanding and moving forward." - Anne Ward, Inner Quest

Stress / Security Points and Wings
By Thomas Condon

Each Enneagram style has built-in relationships to four other styles, called Stress and Security Points and Wings. As you work with the Enneagram, you'll recognize an intuitive, unconscious link from your core style to these additional styles. These connections reveal natural aptitudes that you can cultivate and develop as well as potential traps to be identified, worked on or avoided.
This CD series explores these subtler dimension of the Enneagram, focusing on how to identify and work with them. Learning about Stress and Security Points and Wings will give you an unusually clear and detailed map of your character. Thomas Condon also applies his unique blend of Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP techniques to illustrate ways to use these distinctions in the service of change. Therapists and counselors, especially, will discover how clients get stuck and the hidden resources that can free them. Each of these connections represents a "direction of health" that can lead more quickly to freedom and change.

"Thomas Condon has been studying and working with the Enneagram for 20 years and his depth of understanding is apparent. Through examples, stories and analogies he conveys a clear understanding of each personality type. His approach is fascinating, dynamic and richly observed!" � Inner Quest
