76 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 6

We are continuing on with our Especially Enneagram Series with Enneagram 6, the Loyalist!

Navigating the maze of parenting with a special needs child can feel overwhelming, but understanding your Enneagram type can be a beacon of clarity. Join us as Sabrina Thurston, a dedicated special education teacher and Enneagram 6, opens up about her personal experiences raising her nine-year-old son with a speech articulation disorder. Sabrina shares how discovering her Enneagram number has empowered her to manage her anxiety and control needs, providing a lens through which she views her parenting journey and her quest for stability in an unpredictable world.

Organizational chaos can stir anxiety, but finding your unique style can bring peace. In this enlightening episode, we explore the impact of clutter and organizing on daily life. Hear firsthand strategies for harmonizing a household where perceptions of clutter differ, especially during seasonal routine changes. From using clear storage bins to effectively managing educational materials in small spaces, Sabrina and I uncover practical tips that ease stress and create a harmonious living environment, tailored to individual preferences.

75 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 5

We are continuing on with our Especially Enneagram Series and moving to the Head (or Fear) Triad with Enneagram 5 special needs parents.

While I don't have an interview to share with a specific Enneagram 5 special needs parent, I do have some information from the several that I interviewed which has allowed me to take you inside the minds of Type 5s, the Observers, or Investigators, as they manage the complexities of raising special needs children. I explore their driving fears of depletion and their relentless pursuit of understanding their children's unique needs. These parents, often valuing knowledge above all else, find themselves battling between remaining neutral and engaging emotionally.

The journey of an Enneagram 5 parent is riddled with challenges, especially when emotions don't come naturally. This episode examines how their preference for logic over feelings sometimes makes them feel disconnected from the warmth required in advocacy roles. Yet, their deep dives into gathering information enable them to become formidable advocates in education and healthcare. Admittedly, sensory overload is a real struggle, and finding ways to recharge is vital. We discuss the importance of acknowledging fears, embracing the need for help, and how these steps contribute to their growth as both individuals and parents.

74 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 4

We are continuing on with our Especially Enneagram Series and wrapping up the Feeling (or Heart) Triad with Enneagram 4 and special needs parent, Gina Waterman.

Gina had always known she was different, but it wasn't until a church workshop that her identity as an Enneagram 4 started to make complete sense. I sit down with Gina to talk about her journey of self-discovery, where her creative nature and deep empathy found a home in the Enneagram's intricate framework. In this episode, Gina opens up about the characteristics that define her type, like her ability to resonate with the emotions of others and her struggle with belonging. We explore how these traits have influenced her career path and personal life, offering a window into the nuanced world of an Enneagram 4.

Gina Waterman is a certified Grief Recovery Specialist who walks people through the Grief Recovery Method®, an evidence-based program that eases your emotional pain and shows you healthier ways to cope with life transitions. Her insights into grief and loss run deep. She has overcome emotional and physical pain that overlapped with her full-time family caregiving responsibilities (for her son with autism and brain trauma).

After her divorce 5 years ago, she found GRM and it was so transformative that she decided to get certified and take it to the community. She specializes in caring for caregivers, knowing how much unresolved grief affects the entire family.

For over 15 years, Gina has been an active advocate in the DFW disability community, always looking for ways to connect the silos of support groups (autism, Down Syndrome, IDD). She is sought after for her expertise in navigating divorce and special needs, helping children grieve, and co-parenting ‘with a side of autism.’

She has a B.S. in Technical Communication from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Gina worked in the oil and gas business both in Tech Comm and software training for over 15 years. Originally from New Jersey, she has lived in Dallas since 2002.

73 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 3

We are continuing on with our Especially Enneagram Series and deep into the Feeling (or Heart) Triad with Enneagram 3 and special needs parent, Emily Carrigan.

Emily shared her journey of raising a daughter with Down syndrome, illustrating how her drive for efficiency as an Enneagram 3 harmonizes with her parental instincts. As a real estate broker, her life is a testament to maintaining balance between rigid schedules and warm, responsive parenting. Our conversation highlighted the contrast between her structured approach and my Enneagram 9 tendency for accommodation, offering deep insights for parents striving for harmony in their family lives.

The Enneagram's wisdom became a beacon of understanding in our discussion about family dynamics and parenting styles. Emily and I also shared experiences from our roles as volunteer mentors at the Down Syndrome Clinic, offering heartfelt guidance to new parents. These stories weave together a tapestry of empathy, resilience, and practical advice, reminding us of the profound joy and challenges in raising special needs children while pursuing personal goals.

72 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 2

We are continuing on with our Especially Enneagram Series and moving into the Feeling (or Heart) Triad with Enneagram 2 and special needs parent, Melinda Robbins.

The Helpers are such great parents for special needs children. They have no issues diving right in to whatever their child needs. But that devotion just might end up negatively impacting their ability to live and grow as a parent, spouse, partner, co-worker, or human. Hear Melinda talk about the growth that she has had while navigating her son's medical challenges and why it is so important for 2's to be able to tap in to their own needs, wants, thoughts and emotions as they grow into the role as special needs parent.
