The Neverending 9 Episode: Examining 9

Welcome to House of Enneagram, where we cast aside superficial cliches and fluffy self-help to delve into the essence of the Enneagram. Our ensemble of typologically diverse psychonauts bring fresh eyes and a multiplicity of perspectives to the unconscious forces that shape our lives and our world. We pool our talents to explore how the enneagram connects with art, psychology, inner work, media, typology, and more. If you’re ready to question your deepest answers and relentlessly pursue truth with the foremost experts, welcome to our house.

Sammy, Kristen, and Alexandra are three Enneagram type 9s, here to discuss how complex the type 9 is as a whole. There are a lot of misunderstandings about 9, especially around their emotional state, autonomy, and experience of anger and boundaries. The girls talk about their personal relationships to being type 9, and how difficult it can be to pinpoint the shadow qualities of the type due to its ephemeral nature. The group decides that this conversation is just the beginning of the ‘Neverending 9 Episode’, realizing that the topic of 9 could be explored to its fullest by continuing the discussion in future episodes with differing topics and aspects of the type.
