Before we launch into a discussion about childhood wounds & 8s, we think it's important to introduce an intriguing theory called Object Relations. It suggests that we formed our type structure (in all its quirky glory) in relationship to the ways our caregivers failed to provide either the Nurture or Protection function. We explore yet another set of triads: Frustration, Attachment and Rejection. But, we dig a little deeper into what this means for 8 brains as they're shaped in those first few years.

We've gotten pretty tired of our egos. A lot of those "I ams" we've been telling ourselves don't really fit anymore. So, we're rewriting the narrative about who we really are one "I am" at a time.Join our 8 Community www.theenneagram8community.comFind us here www.theenneagram8podcast.comSupport this podcast: The Enneagram8 Podcast is creating podcasts | Patreon

You have an ego. We all do. It's all those "I am" statements you've built into your identity over the years. The 8 ego has been notoriously labelled as a big one. Maybe it is, but we insist that it's no bigger than any other type's ego. It's just a lot louder. In this episode, we name some of the "I ams" that we held on tight to in order to survive childhood. But, they're kind of getting old now. Next week we'll talk about why we need to break out of our ego rut and change the narrative about who we are. Who do you say you are? Listen in, maybe some of these will resonate.Join our 8 Community www.theenneagram8community.comFind us here www.theenneagram8podcast.comSupport this podcast: The Enneagram8 Podcast is creating podcasts | Patreon

Last week, we gave you a sense of how we interact with the enneagram. This mini episode goes a lot further. This is our "podcast white paper." Jo lays out clearly and plainly what we've chosen to build into our enneagram tool kit, and what we've discarded. She explains that faith and science and plain practicality intersect in the way we use the enneagram system. We think you'll appreciate the frankness and the clarity.

We're launching into season one for real. We'll be picking apart the enneagram system piece by piece and building it back up using 8 language. We're starting with a high level discussion about how we interact with the system as a whole, what we thought about it initially, how we felt about learning we were 8s, and the quirky way we type people. We created a sister episode (coming up next) filled with our favourite books and resources.

We decided to lead with denial because IT'S A THING. 8s are absolute geniuses at denying things that just hurt too darn much to look at straight. So... we want to rip off the Band-Aid so you're wide open for the season ahead. Sound fun? We unpack an article written by fellow 8 and Enneagram Coach Cheryl McMillan about what denial is and does.

This episode is about the "nuts & bolts" of Jo's type: Wing, instinct stacking & tritype. She'll also tell you why the enneagram has been such a gift to a perpetual outsider like her. NOTE: We're so sorry about the audio. New mic + rookie mistakes... We'll get there.
