This idea that we might or have done something to impact our OWN security or support system is a major threat to our living in a more Uninhibited way.

Learning when this is at play for each of us goes a long way to helping us have the kind of insight that actually leads to more self-support and choice in our lives.

In this episode Kristin and Abbi explore the amount of time and attention sixes give to what *might* be going on in other people's brains. What it really looks like to be others oriented is one of the main places sixes can develop awareness to help them begin to see where and how they disempower themselves regularly. Hanging out in other people's brains does not provide us the security we think it does.

We’ve talked about how one of the type six survival strategies, our fixation, is to self-scare.

In this episode, Kristin and Nicole share some of the personal ways their brains self-scare. We do this with a good dose of laughter to help ourselves feel less alone in the experiences created by our brains and get a good dose of laughter at ourselves.

Hopefully you can laugh along and feel less alone in your own self scaring as well as understand this isn’t something that has to change for you to have the life you want.

Today we are talking about feelings, our relationship to our feelings and how feelings are what drive so much of our lives as sixes.

In this episode we look at the enneagram of fixations, specifically, of course, the type fixation of cowardice. I take the lens of what does the fixation DO? When we can orient to a process, we have more ability and capacity to interrupt the process and do something different.

Patterns repeated subconsciously automatically over time, are just that…patterns and processes repeated over time. Removing the judgment of the pattern can be it’s own intervention. I also explore ways to directly interrupt the pattern, break up the trance, so that our system can do something new and different.

This week I dive into the levels of health of type 6 as well as weave together some of the core pieces of Enneagram Basics.

I cover passion, fixation, virtue, holy idea and how that all works together to inform our levels of health and what we can do to resource ourselves at any level. I also share a personal example of my own descent and rise back up through the levels through the anatomy of an argument.
