70 | Enneagram and IFS in the Narrative Tradition with Joan Ryan

Deedra and Megan welcome enneagram expert Joan Ryan to the podcast today! Joan talks about the overlay of enneagram and IFS, stress and security moves, how understanding your type can expand your freedom, and what each type’s focus of attention is. Joan's wisdom of the narrative tradition of the enneagram is unparalleled.
Joan Ryan has been teaching the enneagram to individuals, groups, businesses and organizations for more than 20 years. Using the experience gained in her previous practice as an attorney, she built a leadership coaching career which expanded into many sectors and internationally. When she found IFS she saw the possibilities of interweaving the two models as a very positive enhancement to both systems. She had the unusual honor of being directly mentored by two of the premier enneagram teachers, Helen Palmer and the late Dr. David Daniels. Her most recent work, with Tammy Sollenberger, focuses on the intersections between the enneagram and Internal Family Systems therapy. She lives in Boston.
