Have you noticed you feel freest when have a sense of safety, a comfort and knowing that no matter what you express, those who see it aren’t going to judge you or leave you? Why do we contract in certain situations? Why do we restrict our most natural expression and how can we free ourselves from these constraints? How can we be our most authentic self all the time...not just when outside circumstances offer us safety? Join spiritual author and life coach, Shanna Kay Covey, and Eating Psychology Coach and Personal Trainer, Tracey Keller, as they dive into understanding and healing our compensating behaviors (the ways in which we attempt to feel safe when we’re not coming from an innate sense of safety).
Suggested Resource Mentioned In This Episode:
During the episode Shanna referenced the Enneagram as a useful tool in helping you understand the compensating behaviors associated with your dominant enneagram type. You can find free tests online to help you discover which of the 9 enneagram types you are most likely dominant in. Remember not to get stuck on the online test results as they tend to characterize each type by their negative attributes. The point of understanding your dominant type is to understand the ways in which you are most likely seeking safety outside of yourself. The goal is to become aware of the pattern so you shift where you’re coming from. In healing what is causing the compensating pattern, you learn to come from a true sense of internal safety. When this occurs the compensating pattern is healed/no longer active in you. If you want to better understand how the Enneagram works and the potential for healing it offers, Shanna recommends reading The Sacred Enneagram by Chris Heuertz. She also suggests listening to The Sleeping At Last Podcast for the episode on your dominant type.
