Understanding Sixes: Managing Fear and Anxiety Through Faith, Friends, and Self-Care

On this week's episode of Enneagram U, hosts Damon and Kelly are joined by guest Lauren, a Six on the Enneagram, to discuss how understanding her personality type has helped her manage fear and anxiety. Lauren shares how she first learned about the Enneagram from her mom and how it's changed her life by providing a framework for her innate tendencies. She opens up about how she responds to stress by becoming competitive and arrogant, more like a Three, and finds peace in Nine-like activities. Lauren and the hosts talk about useful strategies for Sixes like exercising, faith, therapy and friendship to stay grounded in the face of worry. They delve into the unhealthy traits of Sixes when they're in a bad state, like shutting people out and feeling detached, victimized and lost in worst-case scenarios. Lauren provides helpful insight for Sixes and anyone in relationship with this personality type for recognizing patterns of fear and anxiety and moving toward growth and confidence. Tune in for an enlightening perspective on the core motivations and growth pathways for Enneagram Sixes!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
