“The Enneagram is kind of looking at ways that we coped with stress and different circumstances as children, and so as a child when you’re going through something times we bring that coping mechanism into adulthood and the ways that we’re doing things, you know, doesn’t always work for our relationships or our professional life.”
Episode summary:
In this episode, Myrna Scales and I talk about the Enneagram and how understanding our personality type not only helps us understand ourselves better but how it can help us understand the people around us and can ultimately better our relationships.
What to listen for:
“When you find your type, you can look at it and see where you can go when you’re in growth, where you go when you’re stressed out and unhealthy. You can look at different wings to see, you know because we’re complex people. You can’t just put one number on it.”
“I had my youngest son in 2018, and he was three months old. One day, I was playing with him and found a lump on his belly. We brought him to the doctor, and they said, oh, it’s a mass. You need to go to the hospital right now to get further tests to see what else they find. Later, we found out he had a kidney tumor. And the tumor was so big, it covered that left kidney.”
“If you read a book about the Enneagram, you’re going to see that there’s the motivation, the basic fear, the basic desire. And so, answering these questions can help you find your type.”
