Forming My Own Opinion as an Enneagram 9, feat. Andy Gullahorn [S05-027]

Published: Jan. 27, 2022, 6:25 p.m.

Each Enneagram Type occupies a story about who they are and how they think the world works.\xa0 The Enneagram Nine\u2019s story is built around the mistaken belief that they\u2019re not really as important as other people, or sometimes it\u2019s just that other people just seem to have more energy and investment in their own opinions, preferences, desires, and viewpoints than Nines do.\xa0 Coupled with their desire to preserve connections with other people and preserve inner and outer peace, Nines adopt a strategy of avoiding conflict and merging with others.\xa0 The risk of this story is that they can become self-less\u2026without a self.\xa0\xa0

The healing journey for the Peacemaker is to decouple themselves from that story to rewrite a new one. So, today, one of my favorite singer-songwriters on the planet and long-time student of the Enneagram, Andy Gullahorn joins me in the studio for a conversation about how the Enneagram has helped guide his healing and growth.\xa0

In this episode we talk about:

  • Character defects or defenses
  • Doing Enneagram work in community
  • Finding a different relationship with anger, and
  • Learning to feel things and form opinions in real-time

He also shares a special Enneagram song during the interview.\xa0 You\u2019re going to love it!
