In this episode, your hosts Lee and Caryn are expanding into "The Head Center." This thinking group, which is home to Enneagram Types 5, 6, and 7, is also referred to as the "Fear Triad." With these types, the head dominates, and they all take in life through their thinking and generally respond based on what their minds tell them to do. These types have a strong desire for safety, competence, and predictability.
All Head Center types deal with fear or anxiety. However, each type confronts or addresses fear/anxiety very differently. Type 5s tend to be anxious internally about the outside world intruding and fear being competent, so they can try to isolate themselves or gather more information to be more prepared. Type 6s long to feel safe but tend to be anxious and often explore worse-case scenarios. They can have trouble trusting their own inner judgments and often seek outside guidance or survey others in order to feel secure in their choices and alignments. Type 7s tend to deny or push aside their anxiousness by always keeping their minds and bodies busy. They fear being deprived, bored, not having options, and being in pain.
In this three-episode series, we'll break down how each of the Centers of Intelligence teaches us about our habitual responses or how we filter information: Instinctual (Gut/Body), Feeling (Heart), and Thinking (Head).
