The Heat Is On: Anger Through the Lens of the Enneagram

A live, online workshop for mental health professionals

Anger can be one of the most challenging emotions to work with in therapy. Some clients avoid it, others are overwhelmed by it—and many clinicians feel unsure how to engage anger without escalating or shutting it down.

This live, online workshop offers a practical, clinically grounded way to work with anger using the Enneagram. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, you’ll learn how each of the nine Enneagram styles relates to anger differently—and how to tailor your interventions accordingly.

Includes 10 NASW-approved CEUs for LISCW, LMFT, LMHC, PCC, and similar

Who it’s for:  Mental health professionals with prior familiarity with the Enneagram.

👉 Register now to deepen your confidence and precision in working with anger—for your clients and yourself.
