UNIQUE BUT NOT TERMINAL! An Ennea-type Four Finds Equanimity In 12 Step Community
Chaos always accompanies addiction, regardless of the specific addictive behavior. Whether it’s the inner turmoil of the addicted person or the outer craziness their behavior eventually brings to their life and to those who care about them, chaos is sooner or later a dynamic in the addictive lifestyle.
You don’t have to be an enneagram type Four to specialize in chaos but it sure seems to come with the territory. Chaos - whether of the inner or outer variety - often seems to make our beloved Fours feel more alive and, ironically, think they are more in control of life. When addictive behavior is layered in the chaos factor can get ramped up to extremes, can become an unconscious way of life even.
That dynamic was a big part of Jane Strongs journey. Join us on this episode of How’s That Working For You as Jane shares her struggle with multiple addictions, a timely ‘intervention’ of enneagram insight at just the right time in her Step work, and her return to a childhood love of horses and how that is now helping so many burdened by trauma. In addition we get to hear how her fridge became an oracle!
