Before we get back to our tri-fixation how-to series we made a pit stop to discuss mistyping and the drama that ensues when people aren’t seen as the type they think they are. The essential role curiosity plays in deeply understanding the enneagram. Why it’s important to separate your ego from your self-typing. The emptiness and disappointment of all the types. What it’s like to realize you’ve mistyped. And letting go of the self-fantasies we prop ourselves up with when identifying with type.

In case you didn’t know, ya boyz (Nancy❤️RIP) got your back on how to figure out trifix once and for all. In this episode we lay out a guide for landing on your trifix by going into each center and discussing what it’s like to have each fix. We start out with the body/gut center and how each fix is maintaining ego boundaries and distance. Then the heart/image center (26:41) and how each fix is creating identity and self-image. And finally the head center (50:04) and how each fix is overdoing a different style of insight.

This week we’re finishing up our trifix series by exploring some of David’s magical trifix concepts. What is a fix and a stem. How stems form a sub-theme to the core type. The difference between fixes and the lines of connection (integration/disintegration lines). What health means in the enneagram, and how the lines of connection work. How trifix has impacted our growth and self-awareness. How descriptions and definitions get in the way of understanding. And we wrap up with the usual useless beast terribleness.
