Limits of Single-Type Identification

The Mosaic Enneagram (Limited Series)

A five-part companion to a six-month consultation cohort for therapists, this series reimagines the Enneagram as a living mosaic across the head, heart, and gut. Grounded in the Nurtured Nature Personality Framework (NNPF), we explore how agency, bonding, and certainty shape our strategies for belonging and becoming. Each episode blends story and theory—moving from personal mistyping and “type rigidity” toward a more generous, triadic self-portrait. You’ll meet the Mosaic Discovery prompts, unpack tensions and coherence within your three centers, and end by crafting an honest self-narrative you can share with safe others. Whether you’re Enneagram-curious or clinically trained, come for language that honors complexity—and tools you can use right away.

Ideal for: therapists, coaches, and reflective humans

Series arc: Agency → Bonding → Certainty → Authentic Self-Narrative

The Mosaic Enneagram reframes typology as a three-center mosaic (head/heart/gut) shaped by life in relationship. This episode sets the foundation: why single-type identity feels rigid, how “mosaics” increase nuance, and how the series will guide listeners toward an authentic self-narrative.

Episode Thesis

Personality makes the most sense when we track the interplay of agency (gut), bonding (heart), and certainty (head) across a lifetime—not as one fixed label but as a living pattern that can be named, tested, and refined in safe relationship.

Segment-by-Segment Outline

1. Welcome & Purpose of the Series

• Limited series accompanying a 6-month therapist cohort.
• Practical application over theory-heavy NNPF, but grounded in it.

1. From Pop Typology to Depth Work

• How people often meet the Enneagram (tests, pop content).
• Initial typing vs. lived complexity; why mistyping is common.

1. Personal Origin Stories

• Early encounters with the Enneagram (tests, books, Rohr lectures).
• Relational context matters: partners/teams mirror what we can’t see.

1. Limits of Single-Type Thinking

• Stress/growth paths and wings can still feel constraining.
• “Storying to fit” vs. noticing where the story doesn’t match behavior.

1. Enter the Mosaic

• Three centers = three core “vectors”:
• Agency (gut) – how we move/act/withhold action
• Bonding (heart) – how we seek/guard connection
• Certainty (head) – how we make sense/secure meaning
• Identify a dominant style in each center to form your mosaic.

1. Lived Examples of Reframing

• Reconsidering “type” after deeper relational observation.
• Why a social Five who “feels a lot” isn’t a contradiction.
• How a Nine-in-gut can steer major life decisions toward balance.

1. Honest Self-Narrative as the Goal

• Naming strategies we use vs. what’s authentic.
• Why we need safe others to see ourselves clearly.
