Do you know your "type?" I discovered the Enneagram several years ago and was curious about how each Enneagram type processes grief. In this week's episode, my beautiful guest, Sarah Wallace, shares some insights into each Enneagram type in general, and how each type might express grief. We talked about:
- Why Sarah chose to incorporate the Enneagram into her work
- Why mindset alone isn’t enough to change or heal something in our lives
- Why it’s important to understand that not everyone sees the world the way you do
- What is the Enneagram - and why is it different from other personality type tools?
- What the Enneagram can reveal about us
- What the 9 Enneagram types represent
- Does our “type” change over the course of our lives?
- What your core motive reveals - and the role it plays when we experience deep trauma or loss
- How the traits of another type may play out when we’re in grief or experience trauma
- Sarah’s recommendation on how to find your Enneagram type
- How knowing your Enneagram type can help you filter out what’s helpful and what’s not helpful at various points in your life
- Sarah’s description of each type, the shadow side of each type, and how it might look for each type to process trauma and grief (*this is GOLD*)
- Which type most women initially identify with - but this isn’t necessarily their true type
- My intuitive insights into each type
Sarah and I could have talked for hours about this fascinating topic! Be sure to come back next week for Part 2, where Sarah and I will pick up with where we left off.
Be sure to listen to Sarah's wonderful podcast, Enneagram MBA (available on all the podcast apps), as well as her website, Instagram and LinkedIn pages.
