Emotional Wellness and the Enneagram, feat. Miles Adcox (Enneagram 3) [S02-012]

Enneagram Threes, or The Achievers, see a world in which people only value others for what they can do versus for who they are. They tend to be driven, task-oriented, visionaries, goal crushers who want to avoid failure at all costs. \xa0Threes are very concerned with what other people think of them and are able to look in anybody\u2019s eyes and respond instinctively to whether or not they're being approved or disapproved of in the moment, and then tweaking or projecting a specific image to make sure they stay in approval.

But sometimes Threes have a hard time settling in on their type because the underlying motivation doesn\u2019t seem to fit quite right.\xa0We\u2019ve talked about subtypes and how they can make a type look and act in three different ways. But, another way we learn about people in their types is through, what are called, Hornevian groups, based on the work of Karen Horney, or stances. What they indicate for us is the social style of each type, or the direction we move in, in relationship to people.

There are three styles: the assertive stance, the withdrawing stance, and the earning stance. \xa0In today\u2019s episode, Miles Adcox joins Ian to talk about each stance and how knowing your stance can help you find your type.
