Are you wired for safety and survival? Do you constantly scan your environment for comfort, stability, and control?
You may have a Self-Preserving subtype—one of the three powerful Enneagram instinctual subtypes that drive how you show up in the world.
In this episode, Jen Stanley dives into the Self-Preserving instinct, revealing how this drive shows up across all nine Enneagram types.
She explores:
What the Self-Preserving Enneagram subtype actually is (hint: it’s more than self-care)
Signs you may be dominant (like constantly feeling at risk or overly focused on safety and resources)
What it means to have a repressed Self-Preserving instinct (like ignoring your health, denying your needs, or struggling to make yourself a priority)
How Self-Preservation shows up in the Heart, Head, and Gut Triads
Common struggles and growth paths based on your instinct
