About Cicci Lyckow Bäckman

Cicci Lyckow Bäckman was born in Stock­holm and started her career with a Master’s degree in English and Swedish from Stock­holm Uni­ver­sity and working as a translator. In the 1990’s, she began ex­plor­ing body-ori­ent­ed psycho­­the­ra­py and took part in a num­ber of cours­es and training seminars. Since 2004, she has facili­tat­ed her own courses on ex­pe­ri­en­tial inner growth. She has also written three books on inner growth, all pub­lished in Swe­dish (2008, 2010 and 2013). Aspects of you is her first book in English. (Do you want it in Swedish? You’re in luck — it’s been translated, and you can find it here.)

Cicci and the Enneagram

First, the cred bit:
Cicci is certified with the Enneagram Institute and an accredited Enneagram teacher with the International Enneagram Association.

Twenty-plus years ago, Cicci came across the Enneagram and in the early 2000’s, she en­rolled in the Riso Hudson Training at Enneagram Institute, where she later passed the Certi­fication program with honours. Since start­ing her journey with the Ennea­gram, she has continuously filled out and deep­ened her insights through other work­­shops and train­ings. For a number of years she offered inter­mittent Ennea­gram eve­ning classes, but her preferred appli­cation is to com­bine the mo­del with experiential inner growth. Elaborating on this, she de­sign­ed a train­ing model based expressly on combining ex­peri­ential inner work with in-depth Enneagram exploration.

Her profound insights into inner work make her observations about the Ennea­gram — and especially the centres and instincts — astute, illuminative and deeply anchored in personal experience. You can also find her on Youtube, as well as on her Facebook page and personal profile.
