Exploring Emotions, Family Dynamics, and Self-Care through the Enneagram

Recently, I found myself in a painful situation - breaking a finger. This unexpected event led Kelly and me to a deeper exploration of human emotions and the impact of self-care on our overall well-being. During this episode, we reflect on the fact that an average person experiences around 400 feelings a day, and how identifying and naming feelings  improves our emotional health.As we dive into the complexities of family roles and self-awareness, we investigate how both nature and nurture play a part in our development. We discuss the intriguing dynamics within families, such as the pressure on heroes to maintain high performance, the role of scapegoats as truth-tellers, and the coping mechanisms of lost children who disengage from conflict. By understanding our Enneagram types, we learn to recognize the roles we play in our families, schools, and lives, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.Follow us on Apple Podcasts and leave a review:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enneagramu/id1691530997Follow us on Spotify and leave a review:https://open.spotify.com/show/2kbIVeByJn4WDoN3kFlUId?si=65a99542c46a49fa
