Running vs. Remaining | Understanding the Enneagram Type Seven with Heather Berg

Send us Fan MailThe Enneagram Seven's instinct is to keep moving. More plans, more options, more yes. Yet underneath it all is a quiet, exhausting belief that if they slow down long enough, something painful will catch up with them.In this episode, Amy sits down with Heather Berg, a Wholehearted Enneagram Coach, trauma-informed practitioner, and Type Seven, to walk the Victim, Villain, Hero, Guide framework through the Seven's unique lens. Heather brings both her professional training and her own deeply personal story: betrayal trauma, a dark night of the soul, a season of chronic pain that literally stopped her in her tracks, and the retreat moment where Amy looked at her and said, "Heather, do you think you could be a Seven?"  and then something clicked that felt like meeting herself for the first time in years.This episode is for every Seven who is tired of running and suspects there might be something worth finding if they stopped. It's also for everyone who loves a Seven and wants to understand what's really happening underneath the energy.In this episode:The Seven's victim role, which can look like "monkey" mind, hypervigilance, and the longing to know who will look after me?Why Sevens can't outwit, outlast, or outplay pain, but what happens when they finally stop tryingThe villain role: self-abandonment and how the reframing that protects you can also hurt the people closest to youHeather's betrayal trauma story and the moment she realized she'd been MIA to her own kidsPost-traumatic growth and the heart behind Heather's Created to Move coaching practiceThe fastest way to daybreak and why it means running toward the night, not away from itBig T, little T, and chronic T trauma, and why you don't have to have a dramatic story to feel lostHow to love and support the Seven in your lifeHeather Berg is a trauma-informed Wholehearted Enneagram Coach and founder of Created to Move.Learn more here:https://www.createdtomove.com/ Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU:Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wickshttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicksNot sure about your Enneagram Type?
