The Heart Triad: Types Two, Three, and Four
In this podcast episode, the hosts explore the heart triad of the Enneagram, focusing on types two, three, and four. These types have an imbalance in their feelings, which manifests in different ways for each type. Type twos are highly empathetic and can pick up on other people's emotions effortlessly. Type threes, on the other hand, suppress their emotions, prioritizing tasks and goals over feelings. Type fours experience emotions intensely and deeply. The heart triad also shares a common struggle with shame, particularly related to their identity and significance. Each type within the heart triad strives to be seen as something specific: twos as caring and nurturing, threes as successful and accomplished, and fours as special and authentic.
