Testimonials from clients

I had over ten years of therapy and Twelve-Step programs before I got into this Inner-Child, look-at-your-numbers-and-letters therapy. All of that was helpful, I suppose, but none of it helped me go as deeply into my Real Being as this type of therapy did.

Reilly (INTJ-4)

I feel this combination of MBTI®, Enneagram and Inner-Child work is the most helpful form of therapy in which I have ever participated. I have seen more practical, tangible, positive results from this inner work . . . than anything else I've tried.

Rhonda (ENFJ-7)

Healing is, for me, such a slow process that I wonder, at times, if I'm progressing at all. Only when I look behind me and see where I've been do I fully acknowledge that I am healing!

Mary (ISTJ-4)

If I had gained nothing more than the release from depression as a result of this approach, the journey would have been worthwhile, but I also have gained "myself" too. . . . I'm getting a voice and standing up for myself.

Danielle (ENTJ-7)

Knowing what it means to live as an Ennegram Three versus my INFP helps me live an authentic life. My two young sons benefit .. . I am a better mother to them than I could have been without this knowledge. I like who I am-and all of what I'm about-because now I understand me!

Kayla (INFP-3)

My relationship with my body has changed. My husband and I are able to enjoy each other now more than ever. I have learned how to be responsible with my money. The Inner-Child work I have done has made all the difference in the world to me.

Kory (ESFP-8)

I can feel joy without the guilt of being "bad" and not deserving any happiness. I've felt safe enough to explore my spirituality.

Peggy (ENTJ-1)

My feelings of being defective have greatly diminished. . . . I am forever grateful and forever changed.

Julie (INFJ-1)

The biggest change is in my career. The year . . . started with a project that pushed all my triggers and ended with a project that was a wonderful experience in which I felt I did "shine," utilizing my talents and doing it all for me and not for other people.

Rhonda (ENFJ-7)

Testimonials from professionals

Pat Wyman thinks systematically, and often brilliantly. She has managed to elegantly demonstrate . . . where overlaps occur between the two systems [MBTI® and Ennegram], and where they do not . . . which is a very effective way of displaying the parameters.

The Enneagram: Understanding Yourself and the Others in Your Life and The Enneagram in Love and Work

Pat Wyman is a pioneer . . . Her cutting edge book deftly merges the MBTI® and the Enneagram into an easy-to-understand format. . . . a masterpiece in detail and thought. For professionals who work to discern 'what makes people tick,' Pat's work [is] an interactive system for all to use.

Sandra Ford Walston
Courage: The Heart and Spirit of Every Woman

There have been several previous attempts to 'correlate' the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) with the Enneagram, and as creative as those were, each time it brought up images for us of Cinderella's sister trying to squeeze her foot into the glass slipper. Pat's approach, however, is simple, elegant, and inspired: "Don't Correlate." Seems obvious with hindsight, doesn't it? But Pat gets the credit for presenting a coherent theory of how the Enneagram and the MBTI each describe different aspects of personality, each contributing important insights. Drawing on case histories, [it] illustrates how using both models of personality enables a greater understanding than either alone can give, illuminating the complexities, subtleties and inner contradictions inherent in human personality.

Pat's work is groundbreaking, synergistics, and accessible. Anyone interested in personality theory will learn something from reading this book.
