Jamie Ivey on Living in the Present Moment (Enneagram 6) [S04-011]

Published: Sept. 3, 2020, 1:11 p.m.

The ever-present passion (fear) that drives the Enneagram Six\u2019s way of acting, thinking, and feeling, is actually experienced as anxiety. Fear is what arises when you\u2019re in the presence of a clear and immediate source of danger.\xa0 Anxiety, in contrast, is a vague, free-floating sense of apprehension that arises in response to an unknown or potential threat.

For Sixes, anxiety plays a role in all aspects of their life. \xa0They are constantly planning \u201cwhat-if\u201d scenarios, have thought through the contingencies, and know exactly what to do in any given situation.\xa0

But healthy, self-aware Sixes recognize their pattern of worst-case-scenario planning, learn to trust their own experiences, and believe that in the end everything will be alright.

In this episode of Typology, author and host of \u201cThe Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey\u201d podcast and Enneagram Six, Jamie Ivey explains the thread of natural caution and apprehension she feels as it relates to her friendships, marriage, and parenting. \xa0And she reminds us that, when healthy, the Six\u2019s anxiety produces a lot of great stories!
