Why do we behave the way we do? Why do we judge others for the way they act and is it, at all, related to how we see ourselves? Why do people suffer for so long?
Those who have committed the worst crimes are the ones who have suffered unspeakable cruelties done to them. People who have been labelled 'criminals' have learned violence, addiction and rage from those they trusted most in the world. As a child, they looked to those around them to protect them and keep them safe. Oftentimes, that was not the case. We need to change the dialogue around personalities, learned behavior and coping mechanisms later in life.
On this powerful episode of the Baby Steps Nutrition Podcast, Argavan speaks with Susan Olesek, the founder of The Enneagram Prison Project (EPP), a non-profit offering self-awareness education to the incarcerated through the Enneagram.
Susan graduated with a BA in Sociology from Occidental College. She became a certified Enneagram teacher in 2009, and in 2012 Susan founded The Enneagram Prison Project. In her words, her mission is to "inspire transformation - on both sides of the bars - through self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-regulation".
Argavan and Susan discuss her own deep personal experience with trauma and how it lead her to work with the Enneagram, the knowledge and wisdom she gained through working closely with inmates and how the Enneagram is a useful tool that all parents can benefit from to gain self-awareness in order to foster calm, positive and mindful relationships with their child(ren).
