Through the Lens of The Enneagram
With Deb Lyman and Linda Carroll
October 21-23, 2016
Deb and Linda have been the best of
friends for 15 years. Their friendship
is deeply bonded, working together,
full of fun, soulful adventures, and a
few challenges. Managing the
inevitable conflicts has made them
aware of the importance of learning
the skills for a “wholehearted”
friendship.

Linda Carroll, LMFT has been an
author and psycho-therapist in
Corvallis, seeing couples and
individuals, and running groups. Her
recent book, Love Cycles, is now in its
third printing. After writing about the
stages couples go
through to find
wholehearted love,
she began to wonder
(and research) about
the cycles of friendship between women.

“Transformation happens when our
ordinary perspective shifts and we attain a
new understanding of who we really are

Five that we will explore are:
1. Great friendships just happen.
2. If you are “real” friends, the relationship will sustain itself effortlessly.
3. True friends love you unconditionally and
never let you down
4. Reactions like anger, competition,
jealousy and feeling left-out or insecure
about the relationship mean there is
something wrong with the friendship.
5. If you don’t have best friends, it means
something is wrong with you.

“Not all friendships are meant to last a lifetime. There can be so much good, so much
power, and so much love in female friendships. But there is also a dark side of pain
and loss. And surrounding that dark side there is often silence.” – Jessice Smock
