Many times we bring trauma into marriage unwittingly and our spouse has to work very hard to work with us and our sensitive idiosyncrasies. Today we welcome Enneagram Coach and trauma practitioner, Jennifer Hurst of Everyday Enneagram to walk us through compassionate inquiry in our own healing versus relying on our spouses to be all things to us, a term coined by the world-renowned trauma/addictions MD, Dr. Gabor Maté, whose program Jennifer has trained in.

Often we can make the mistake of completely defining others with unilateral Enneagram stereotypes, further expanding our differences, leaving us not only in the box of our type, but in the shadows of relationships. In this new episode just for you, author and expert Stephanie Spencer invites us into a more adventurous yet intimate journey through our styles of interaction using the broader lens of nature metaphors by type (Did you know, for instance, 4s can be like an iceberg at times as well as an octopus?) Join us as we sit with beautiful photographic concepts for each of us as we venture through the wild together through more connecting lenses of communication for life and marriage. Stephanie also invites us to read her beautiful brand-new hardcover book, Out of the Box and Into the Wild, displaying her and her husband's awesome National Park Adventure pictures, metaphors for each type and triad, and more!
