The Enneagram in Relationships: Type Six - Loyalty, Safety, and Learning to Trust Themselves and Others

This week we’re continuing our Enneagram in Relationships series with a look at Type Six — The Loyal Guardian.If you’re a Six or if you love someone who is, this type is one of the most dependable people you will ever know.  They show up, they care deeply,  and they take relationships seriously.  And yet, they are often misunderstood as anxious, pessimistic, or difficult - when in reality, they are deeply motivated by a desire for safety, trust, and connection.In this week’s episode we learn more about Type Sixs, how they navigate relationships and I share a few practical ways to better communicate with, support, and lead a Type Six.Whether you love, work with, or lead a Type Six you will appreciate their emotional investment in your relationship, their thinking ahead in all situations, and their dependability in practical ways.Your Enneagram Coach AssessmentThe Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron (an easy read to help you figure out your Enneagram type)The Path Between Us by Suzanne Stabile (a great read to help you navigate relationships with different Enneagram types)Music credit: “A Perfect Day” by Iros Young
