Trauma, Loss & The Enneagram: Katie Ganshert, Type 3: Seeing the ACHIEVER vs the achievement

Send us Fan MailAward winning author Katie Ganshert joins the Wednesdays With Watson podcast. Amy & Crissy sit down with Katie as we continue our series on trauma and the enneagram. Katie brings invaluable insight into this topic as an enneagram Type 3. This fun, oft light hearted conversation is deep in the truth and helpful to those who are Type 3's or love someone who is. Enneagram 3's, often called "The Achievers" are high performing and are often rewarded in a denomination the world recognizes. This type struggles to separate themselves (hence their value) from their achievements. They can get caught in the "hamster wheel" of success and achievement as a means of meeting their core desire, to be SEEN. Contact KatieContact AmyAll 3 participants would probably agree that the big takeaway is AWARENESS. Katie reminds us if we are AWARE then we can deal in the real. If we are aware of how God made us then we can properly address trauma and everyday life. Taking the time to understand the way God made you can truly be transforming.The story of Hagar in the wilderness is found in the book of Genesis, Chapter 16. Jehovah El Roi--"The God Who Sees" is such a precious promise for all of us and especially if you are a Type 3! Katie encourages listeners to separate themselves from their achievements and know that you are seen even if you never accomplish another thing!Some of what you will hear....Question: What is your favorite part about how God made you?
