What Each Type Wants During Grief

Type 1

2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

(Brittany's work referenced for type-specific grief responses):

Type 1’s want to know the “right” way to proceed with guidelines.

Type 2’s want support and approval of others while figuring out how to move forward. While they want support from others, they also want to support others grieving to help strengthen their bonds with those people. 

Type 3’s want to know and set goals quickly. They want to express their emotions but not be overwhelmed by them.

Type 4’s want to discover what is “missing” whether within themselves or in the grieving process. They want to fully express and feel their emotions.

Type 5’s want clarity before making decisions. They also want to avoid excess emotions (both theirs and others).

Type 6’s want certainty in plans and in loyalty. They also want reassurance about the future.

Type 7’s want to explore a range of options. They want freedom to do what they want to do and they prefer quick decisions.

Type 8’s want some sort of control of either themselves or the situation. They want to get things rolling and to move forward.

Type 9’s want to take all points into consideration before doing anything. They also want to avoid conflict and to help reduce others’ discomfort.

In this episode, licensed clinical professional counselor Chelsea Steinsdorfer joins hosts Kim and Ben to discuss grief, its various seasons, and how different Enneagram types may experience loss.

Chelsea shares her personal journey through grief, including the loss of her father and years of infertility, and how these experiences shaped her approach to grief counseling. The conversation explores the five seasons of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - and how grief manifests as waves that come and go.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Grief isn't just about death - it can be any significant loss including relationships, jobs, or life plans
• The term ""seasons"" is preferred over ""stages"" as grief isn't linear and can come back around
• Each Enneagram type may experience and process grief differently
• Processing grief alone isn't recommended - support from others or professional help is valuable
• Accepting grief doesn't mean forgetting or ""moving on"" - it's about learning to live with the loss
• Preparing a ""coping toolbox"" during good days can help during difficult waves of grief
• Resources:
• Books:
• "Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy" by Mark Vroegop - about discovering the practice of lamenting

How has God’s strength and protection been on display in your life? Maybe he has spared you from harm or given you boldness in a situation.

On this month’s podcast episode of If You Really Knew Me, Ben and Kim share personal stories of God’s strength and protection AND how we can learn to reflect these characteristics of God.

In this insightful episode of "If You Really Knew Me," hosts Kim Willey and Ben Sorrells delve into the characteristics and spiritual reflections of Enneagram Type Eights.

Highlighting themes of God's strength and protection, they weave personal anecdotes and biblical references to discuss how Type Eights can embody these divine qualities.

From powerful stories of natural disasters to acts of courage and protection, Kim and Ben explore the intensity and boldness of Type Eights and how these traits align with God's nature.

2. Understanding Type Eight: Type Eights are characterized by their assertiveness, protective nature, and deep desire for control and strength. They are often seen as challengers who defend their inner circle passionately.

3. Balancing Intensity with Vulnerability: Despite their tough exterior, Type Eights need to learn to balance their bold nature with tenderness and vulnerability. Learning from their stress and security points (types Two and Five) is pivotal.

4. Spiritual Connection and Growth: Alignment with the gospel helps Type Eights to utilize their strength to help others and avoid destructive behavior. It’s important to trust in God's unwavering support.

5. Practical Scripture References and Songs: Here are some powerful scriptures about God's strength and protection, alongside meaningful songs that echo the theme of divine protection and strength.

In this enlightening episode of "If You Really Knew Me," hosts Ben and Kim welcome special guest Beth McCord, an Enneagram speaker and author, to discuss the insights and wisdom from her new book "Enneagram for Moms."

Beth shares her journey of discovering the unique struggles and strengths of different moms, which was largely influenced by a heartfelt conversation with her husband. The episode delves into the challenges of societal mom-guilt, the freedom found through Jesus in understanding one's God-given role as a parent, and the importance of having curiosity for and honoring our children's individual personalities.

Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Beth emphasizes self-awareness and self-regulation for parents, aiming to create healthier family dynamics.
