The Enneagram, Empathy & Narcissism Course

This 6-hour course delves deeply into the narcissism and empathy research behind Sterlin's book The Narcissist in You and Everyone Else: Recognizing the 27 Types of Narcissism.

We introduce the notion of narcissism as a spectrum-based model of increasing loss of empathy (due to a variety of factors including genetics, trauma, abuse, conditioning and environment) that can give way to a propensity toward narcissism. Through this course, we offer an opportunity to explore how yours or your clients own narcissistic tendencies may show up and how to challenge those tendencies to continue to push for greater compassion and empathy for ourselves and others. Using the Enneagram model of personality, we explore and explain the variety of narcissistic tendencies and types and reveals useful tips on how to best to manage those.

This class will:

  • Introduce the latest research on empathy and the 7 levels of empathy as seen on Dr. Mosley’s revised spectrum model

  • Discuss the groundbreaking research behind The Narcissist in You and Everyone Else: Recognizing the 27 Types of Narcissism

  • Elucidate the differences between narcissism, sociopathy and psychopathy and how to tell the difference

  • Outline the nine over-arching categories of narcissism including: Vulnerable narcissist, Grandiose narcissist, Self Righteous narcissist, Intellectual Narcissist, Communal narcissist, Malignant narcissist, Neglectful narcissist, The Dark Empath, and the Nice narcissist

  • Delve into the 27 subtypes of narcissism based on the 27 Enneagram instinctual subtypes as revealed by Dr. Mosley’s 2021 lexical analysis research study

Aaron Addonizio M.H.R, M.P.A.

Hi, we’re Sterlin Mosley Ph.D and Aaron Addonizio M.H.R, M.P.A.

We’ve been studying the enneagram for 21 years. First attending Enneagram courses from Tom Condon, Russ Hudson, Helen Palmer, David Daniels and others and then we began attending Enneagram conferences in 2007 where we met Katherine Fauvre. Sterlin became Katherine’s protégé around the same time and began doing bi-weekly one-on-one coaching to further his understanding of both the Enneagram and his own processes.

In our Master’s in Counseling program, Sterlin and Aaron researched the enneagram personality types, psychopathology and diagnosis, which took us deeper into the work of Claudio Naranjo’s. 

From there, we started our first Enneagram business in 2008 where we delivered trainings to counselors and psychotherapists for CEU credits and then began delivering online trainings and classes the same year. 

In 2014, we both became certified teachers and coaches with Katherine Fauvre of Katherine Fauvre Consulting. Sterlin completed his PhD in Communication from the University of Oklahoma in 2014 where he conducted several studies on the Enneagram, self-presentation and intrapersonal communication. 

Until 2021, Aaron worked for several years as Katherine Fauvre’s office manager. In addition to Aaron’s professional counseling education she received a Master’s in Public Administration in Nonprofit Management.

In addition to Empathy Architects, which we founded in 2019 Sterlin is an Assistant Professor at The University of Oklahoma where he teaches various courses in the Human Relations and Women’s and Gender Studies departments. Sterlin teaches an undergraduate level course on Personality (which is essentially a semester-long course on the Enneagram and other systems such as MBTI, the Big Five, Jungian Archetypes, multiple intelligences, microexpressions, etc). Together, we have delivered countless trainings, workshops and courses.

We both share a love of systems and have a particular aptitude for synthesizing those systems in order to foster greater self and other awareness with the aim of creating greater compassion and empathy for everyone.
