Head Center and the Triads of the Enneagram
The podcast episode explores the centers of intelligence or the triads of the Enneagram. The focus of the discussion is the head center, which comprises types five, six, and seven. The head center is characterized by a strong emphasis on thinking and analysis. When healthy, individuals in this center exhibit profound perception and innovative problem-solving skills. However, when struggling, they can experience anxiety and fear. Type fives often feel the need for more knowledge and can get stuck in analysis paralysis. They need to tap into their eight-wing and trust in their existing knowledge. Type sixes are anxious about negative possibilities and attempt to find security through preparedness and support systems. Type sevens seek security through avoiding their inner world and embracing fun and stimulation. Action is encouraged for fives to help break free from overthinking and take steps forward.
