The Need for Self-Authority

Outsourcing inner authority is a common behavior among individuals, especially those with Enneagram type Six, driven by a desire for security and guidance. This tendency arises when feelings of uncertainty lead to seeking validation and reassurance from external sources, resulting in diminished self-trust and reliance on others for decision-making. Recognizing this pattern is crucial, as it can create a cycle where individuals feel dependent on outside opinions rather than developing their own insights. By understanding the importance of reclaiming their authority, individuals can work towards recognizing their own strengths and making empowered choices.
