Letting Go of Offense with Author Alexandra Hoover, Type 8 (8-8 Pairing)

We know the our Enneagram passions all too well, they are the ego fixations and parts of our personality that we get stuck with all the time. Sometimes, however, we trick ourselves into thinking these maladaptive parts of ourselves will heal our deepest wounds individually and in marriage. However, instead, it is our type's virtue that will provide the steadying factor to soothe our weary souls. Find your type's passions and virtues as you listen to this brand new 2021 episode and find out how you can integrate healthy and steady change into your relationship, too!

On part 2 of the Enneagram Glow series, Christa and Alaina listen to marriage and family therapist Michael Shahan, MA, LMFT, an Enneagram 9, talk not only about the way trauma can be healed in marriage but also particularly about how the popularly paired 1-9 couple can glow together. In this episode, we cover less of the research and development concept of the glow (see "Discovering Your Enneagram Glow: Part 1" for background) and more of the actual process of healing one another's deepest wounds and personal issues in marriage. We got emotional in this episode and we hope you do too as you continue to work on your relationship glow!
