About

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of self-knowledge training on the well-being of individuals with fibromyalgia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does self-knowledge training improve participants' perceived quality of life?

Does self-knowledge training influence the way participants manage their fibromyalgia symptoms?

Participants will:

Take part in a structured self-knowledge intervention based on the Enneagram framework.

Complete validated questionnaires before and after the intervention to assess their well-being.

Provide qualitative feedback on their experience with the training.

This study will help understand whether self-awareness strategies can be integrated into non-pharmacological approaches for fibromyalgia management.
