Listen Later

Tired of the same old relationship struggles? Want to understand the "why" behind your connection patterns? In this episode of the Transforming Us podcast, hosts Jessie and Tamara dive deep into the helpful intersection of the Enneagram and Attachment Theory. This is the essential conversation for anyone seeking to finally decode the complex relationship dynamics of their connections, their parenting approach, and their overall personal growth.

We explore how your attachment style (Secure, Anxious Attachment, Avoidant Attachment-Dismissive, Fearful-Avoidant), profoundly shapes your core Enneagram patterns, influencing everything from your routine interactions to how you manage conflict and vulnerability. We unpack specific challenges for each type, providing insights into their unique insecurities and core relationship needs. Always giving tips to grow more secure wherever you are now.

The conversation emphasizes that building a strong sense of self-compassion and developing emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of fostering healthier connections. This is a must-listen for anyone in coaching or seeking better mental health and transformation!
