how to get out of your enneagram type’s “sunken place”

The way out of the type’s “sunken place” is to reframe your relationship to its fixation so it becomes a superpower.

• shame = self-love + authenticity

• fear = curiosity + trust

• anger / control = presence

shame types are self-love, self-worth & authenticity types (2, 3, 4)

whenever you get stuck in shame, image-management, pr-mode, performance, needing to feel significant / important / in control of the narrative - you’re in the disempowered state of your type.

whenever you treat shame, humiliation,  feeling “misunderstood” (cough not as you are presenting) with humor, self-love, an invitation to observe yourself with curiosity you end up moving out of type brittleness and stepping into the highest embodiment of your type.

• humiliation = freedom from ego + artifice, + opportunity to embody nuclear levels of DGAF self-love + authenticity

• being misunderstood = hilarious / “love that for them” vibes

• shame = rebirth, evolution, up-leveling spiritually by walking on eyeball coals

fear types are curiosity, trust & explorer types (5, 6, 7)

whenever you get stuck in fear, paranoia, obsessive research-mode, info-control, hoarding ideas or gluttonous info-seeking, endless studying before you allow yourself to move forward - you’re in the disempowered state of your type.

whenever you treat fear, lack of security and knowing with lightness, trust, curiosity and playful exploration you end up moving out of type brittleness and stepping into the highest embodiment of your type.

• fearing the unknown = levelling up in your relationship to Source + surrendering to a higher power (exhale, relax, insane in the membrane heyo it’s sky daddy in the driver’s seat)

• anxiety = excitement, uncertainty orgasms

• fear = call to adventure, aura (of) the explora

anger/control types are presence & ease of existence types (8, 9, 1)

whenever you get stuck in trying to control how you/others “exist,” express anger and boundaries - you’re in the disempowered state of your type.

whenever you treat existence, anger, boundaries (yours and others) with more more conscious presence, ease, separateness and faith you end up moving out of type brittleness and stepping into the highest embodiment of your type.

• anger/rage = grounded fluidity, metabolic digestion + expulsion of control snacks moment to moment, detaching without suppressing

• hostility or erasure around boundaries = playful wholeness + separateness, ain’t your problem honey

• needing to control the vibe/environment/self/others = absolute fvcking presence + acceptance in a delicious way
