Dr. Lennon may use an Alternative Personal Growth approach if a client is interested.  The Enneagram is a values based model for discerning and awakening to ones “Root Motivational Bias” style.  This RMB style, or “Enneagram Type”(one of nine ways of being), represent a mix of physical, mental and emotional energy that has a strong unconscious influence on the psyche, and can distort how we experience, see, and relate to ourselves, others, and the world. 

Dr. Lennon teaches this powerful transformative system as a tool for discerning and awakening to the Sacred within humanity, to our “Higher Nature” or to ones “True Self”.  The system is rooted in a brain theory that was developed independent of the Enneagram.  The three Centers of the Enneagram model are supported by an understanding of the Triune Brain Theory developed by Dr. Paul MacLean, M.D. at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, DC.
