Intelligent Emotions: The School for Feelings! 

I'm proud to announce my latest dream baby that I've been working semi-quietly behind the scenes:

If you've been following for a long while, you may have known about my pilot version a few years back. Now it's ready to be its own entity instead of being a side project under OliveMe Counseling. Woohoo!

A couple months ago, I started focusing the weekly newsletters to be just about the Enneagram, instead of also about general therapyish topics like emotions, relationships, self-care, and trauma.

What does this mean for OliveMe?

As time goes on, OliveMe and Intelligent Emotions will be more differentiated. In the three areas of:

  • Personal growth

  • Relationships

  • Professional development...

...OliveMe will focus more heavily on the Enneagram and IntelEmo will be more about emotions.

What about HSP or Brainspotting?

Other topics not directly pertaining to the Enneagram, like Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), Relationship Anxiety, & Brainspotting are still written about on my OliveMe website, but will be less central topics going forward.

Since the primary audience will be BIG Feelers (HSPs, Empaths, Enneagram feeling types, people with emotional neglect, etc.), HSP & Relationship Anxiety will probably be mentioned more in Intelligent Emotions.

Focused Synergy!

Obviously the Enneagram and emotions are not mutually exclusive - growth in one enhances growth in the other. (Here's one blog that describes the bridge between the two...More to come later!)

It's my intention to clarify each of these paths so that it'll be easier for you to focus in on more specific growth tasks.

Instead of getting newsletters that are only semi-relevant to you, you could choose into whichever channel that best gives you what you're looking for:

  • Enneagram + 1:1 therapy/coaching waitlist (OliveMe)

  • Emotions + online events/webinars (IntelEmo)

  • Both!
