Episode 13 : Show Notes

* Bryce gets clear on which instinct he's actually repressing: the social!

* The sexual instinct and merging with nature.

* Russ Hudson's three zones, inside of each instinct.

* Uranio Paes and his instinctual sequence descriptors, and the specific growth work.

* Victoria's clarification of her own sequence, and the repression of the self-preservation instinct.

* Victoria as Snow White!

* Bryce fesses up to a wanting of the sp/so/sx sequence.

* Bryce also admits that he has wanted to have the opposite sequence as Victoria.

* Deeper into Russ Hudson's three zones of the social instinct: reading people; creating and maintaining connection; participation and contribution.

* Bryce replies to a post on the CP Enneagram instagram account, regarding abandonment and fours (and a moment of envy, striking!).

* Most of us are operating at an instinctual level.

* Bryce choosing to be a "loner" regarding friends and groups - but always on the lookout for "the one".

* Victoria's general wanting to go outward to "touch in" with others, while less inclined to go inward.

* For Bryce, a "group" is two or more people - and thus begins his relational confusion.

* Victoria's inclusive social holding, and her being an inspiration for Bryce! 

* Good things happening for Bryce in TJ's (Trader Joe's), his new practice ground.

* Victoria's historical preoccupation with how she shows up in a group.

* Victoria's practice of relaxing back via the self-pres instinct, staying connected with self, and the increasing balance of all three instincts.

* Uranio's recommendation for the sp/so/sx: expression!

* And for the sp/sx/so: empathy.

* Bryce's reframe: empathy in action! With kids, hospice volunteering, clients.

* Uranio's advice for the sx/so/sp: STRUCTURE. (Not so impulsive.)

* Victoria's historically haphazard relationship with the self-pres instinct. And now, an honoring, a taking-care-of.

* Teasing apart a dominating self-pres instinct in the four vs. repressing the instinct.

* Also for the sp/sx/so: Think BIG.

* Bryce's revised path (combining "empathy" + "thing big"): GIVE BIGGER.
