• Refresher on the concept of countertypes
• Common questions each instinctual variant asks themselves that may possibly help you identify your own dominant instinct

Intro/Outro: Aggressive - Tolou/AmprodBeats: https://youtu.be/H6Zp79eStbw

It's a new series on countertypes!

In this episode we: 

• Explain the concept of instincts, subtypes and countertypes
• Kick off the series exploring the fear-based thinking triad countertypes - the sexual 5, sexual 6 and social 7
• Talk about why the self pres 7 isn’t a countertype and the social 7 is (Tara is confused about this)
• Wonder if Kurt Cobain and Trent Reznor are sexual 5s
• Explore themes of toxic masculinity in sexual 6s, *trigger warning, we talk about animal abuse during this part as well*, and a sexual 6’s relationship with authority and others 

The next episode will be focused on the countertypes in the shame/feeling triad types 2, 3 and 4.

In this episode:

• Tara rants about how 9s can be passive-aggressive (if you’re a 9 this might be triggering)
• We talk about Kourtney’s interactions and conflict with Kim and Khloe and Kourtney merging with Travis
• A little bit of talk about 9s on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
• The potential differences between a 9 and 8 when interacting or in conflict
• We ask any 9s who made it to the end, what triggers a 9 to become passive-aggressive and wonder how disconnection to both parents influences general stress levels in relationships, potentially for sexual-dominant 9s?

I hope Kris Jenner doesn’t find this episode

Also where's Rob?

WE'RE BACK

Intro/Outro: Lethal Needle, Shooter (YouTube)

In this episode we talk about the cast of Love is Blind, season 3 and what their Enneagram types MIGHT be.

Key notes:
- We go off on a tangeant about Cole + Zanab
- We don't get to everyone in the cast
- There are some interesting discussions about the differences between 3s, 6s and 9s in stress and relationships

Resources include our brains and a brief mention of an instinctual variant description from PsychologieJunkie.com (apologies if I missed any citing sources here, I'll update again here if I did)

*General instinct knowledge @ 16 min
*Self-pres 3 starts @ 26 min

In this episode, we talk about the self-pres 3 (aka "Vanity No Vanity") and explore how they deny their passion of vanity (in a fixated state of mind).

In our typical style, we kick the episode off with a personal catch-up and some banter.  

We apologize ahead of time for the audio situation.

• In the intro, we talk about what we’ve been up to
• Review and refresher of all the instincts and levels of health in the instincts
• SP 3s can look like 1s
• Tara talks about her personal experiences with SP3
• Compare the sexual/social/SP instinct’s relationship to vanity
• SP3 motivations and fixations
• Enneagram 3 anxiety and how it shows up from their over-identification with roles
• Celebrity examples of 3s - mostly of the reality trash TV variety
• Ideas for being less fixated

- We explore how a self-pres 7 might like to exercise
- Why do self-pres 7s want people in their circle to be comfortable and happy?

Intro/Outro - Powfu - Death Bed (Save the Sky Remix)

In this episode, we continue our series on the instinctual variants and focus on the self-preservation 1 aka Hilary Clinton (we kind of sort of think). Here's what we talked about:

• We're doing consulting now, all the details are on our website at enneagramforidiots@gmail.com
• If you're a part of our Patreon community, we're planning a live virtual hang out session soon, stay tuned for that
• Thank you for emailing about the last SP4 episode, we learned a lot and you learned a lot and that is ALWAYS THE GOAL

Instinct and Self-Pres 1 learnings and discoveries (22 minutes in)

• Each instinct has a different kind of energy 
• There's a lot of learning to be done around how the passions and fixations interact with the instincts, there's so much we all don't know
• The SP1:
  • is characterized by a lot of worry, anxiety, perfection and apparently "almost paranoia?"
  • can look like a 6 but the 6 knows the world shouldn't be against them and the 1 isn't so sure
  • struggles with feeling inadequate or undeserving and react with anxiety and worry
  • thinks that when they judge themselves it's actually helpful
  • is possibly Hillary Clinton? lots of thoughts and exploration there
  • lots more, dive in to hear it all

And to wrap up, we would like all SP1s and 1s in general - YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS
