The Nature of Perception, Trauma, and the Enneagram

Ruth (sx/so 9w1 973) talks to Kristen (so/sp 9w1 963) about her journey discovering her enneagram type, which is inherently linked with her experience of her body, her relationship with sensation, and her response to trauma. The hosts explore what trauma could inform about the personality types, and what a personality type's natural way of perceiving the world can inform us about our own relationship with ourselves and life.
