The Enneagram 8 Podcast

Shadow Layer #1: And so we begin a long foray into the habits 8s fall into that keep them firmly settled into the heart of their personality. We can get by in life staying right there in the middle, but that isn't growth. That's staying stuck. Self Sufficiency is the allergic reaction we 8s have to being needy. We've worked hard to stand firmly on our own two feet, using a bunch of confirmation bias along the way that people let us down. This is one of those "shadow layers" that has an undeniably useful side to it. Listen in as we sort out the blessing from the curse.

Our shadow side is like black mold... It's growing unseen in the walls, and slowly killing us. This episode is a discussion about what an 8 shadow might look like based on your wing, your subtype, and on the health levels 4 through 9, as developed and described by Don Riso.

You're afraid of something. Keep telling yourself you're not, and I'll keep calling you a liar. As 8s, we spend a lot of time killing our fears dead, and denying the ones we can't kill. That's not very helpful. There's something about bringing a thing to light that makes it lose it's power. So... What are you afraid of?Join our 8 Community www.theenneagram8community.comFind us here www.theenneagram8podcast.comSupport this podcast: The Enneagram8 Podcast is creating podcasts | Patreon

So many experts with so much to say about the childhood wounds that made us, but... It takes an 8 to know an 8, so we'll pick apart some quotes and see what we come up with.

We've all heard the saying about life throwing you lemons... Well, when life threw us Eights lemons, we did NOT make lemonade. We made barricades-- some of us made really thick ones. The making of an Eight is not really a mysterious thing once you understand how our brains work. In this episode it's really clear that two little Eight girls with different childhoods both manage to mostly end up in the same place. It's really true, this Enneagram stuff.Join our 8 Community www.theenneagram8community.comFind us here www.theenneagram8podcast.comSupport this podcast: The Enneagram8 Podcast is creating podcasts | Patreon

"If I wanted to change something, why would I wait for January 1st?" This seems to be the sentiment among most of us 8s. We're up for a great party, and time well spent with friends, family & good food. But, resolutions? Nah. A new me? No thanks. Happy New Year to all of you, and happy every-other-day too!

When we asked you what you wanted to talk about for our holiday episode, the answer was RELATIONSHIPS. It seems 8s have complicated feelings about the holidays. This has everything to do with the usual interplay of our intensely relational, but autonomous selves and the people around us who don't think like we do. We answered all your questions from our vantage point, and while it might not offer any fixes, at the very least, it's our way of telling you aren't a lone. We understand. --- Find us here www.theenneagram8podcast.comSupport this podcast: The Enneagram8 Podcast is creating podcasts | Patreon
