In this episode, your hosts Lee and Caryn will introduce you to the Enneagram's Three Centers of Intelligence. This week we're kicking off with "The Gut" or "Body Center." This instinctual group, which is home to Enneagram Types 8, 9, and 1, is also referred to as the "Anger Triad." The body center copes with their dominant emotion of anger in the way they respond to gut feelings or physical sensations. Type 8s express their anger outwardly, 9s deny, push aside, and/or likely feel threatened by these emotions, and 1s repress, try to control, and/or turn these emotions inward.We hope you enjoy this banter episode because we go a little all over the place! Since the gut/body triad is the instinctual group,  we briefly sidebar into talking about the three Instincts:  Self-Preservation, Sexual, and Social. We will definitely be exploring these complex instincts again and in more depth in future episodes.In this three-episode series, we'll break down how each of the Centers of Intelligence teaches us about our habitual responses or how we filter information: Instinctual (Gut/Body), Feeling (Heart), and Thinking (Head).CONNECT WITH USHave a Question?Message https://anchor.fm/enneagramtypecastEmail [email protected]enneagramtypecast.comFollow Us!Instagram @enneagramtypecast facebook.comFacebook /EnneagramTypecastLEE MILLIGAN (9w8 SO/SX)leemilligan.coInstagram @ritualenneagram[email protected]CARYN BERLEY (9w1 SX/SO)carynberley.comInstagram @carynberleyFacebook /carynberleycoaching[email protected]EVENTSApplications are now open for Caryn’s Applied Enneagram Group Coaching program that runs September 28th - November 16th!
