This is a Live Q&A I hosted with Suzanne Stabile during one of our Type·ish Summits (formerly called EnneaSummits). Some of the things we cover include how to respond to conservative Christian criticism of the Enneagram, whether certain types are more prone to narcissism or other mental health diagnoses, how trauma affects your type, how to identify your type without a test, and what healthy growth looks like for Twos, Sixes, Nines, and more. If you've ever wished you could be a fly on the wall and listen in as Suzanne shares her seasoned wisdom, this episode is the next best thing.

You can stay up to date with all that Suzanne is doing at https://suzannestabile.com. There you’ll find a link to her best-selling Enneagram books, courses, in-person cohorts, speaking events, and so much more.

I'm joined by Dr. Dan Siegel—New York Times bestselling author, psychiatrist, and one of the world's leading voices on interpersonal neurobiology. We discuss his groundbreaking book on the Enneagram, how a chance meeting with EnneaTypes creator Claudio Naranjo changed the trajectory of his work, and why this once-skeptical neuroscientist spent the next two decades helping build a bridge between modern neuroscience and the Enneagram.

You can stay up to date with all that Dan is doing at https://drdansiegel.com/ and you’ll also find a link there to his books, including Personality and Wholeness in Therapy: Integrating 9 Patterns of Developmental Pathways in Clinical Practice.

Last week, Russ Hudson and I traveled back to the 1970s and 80s to tell the story of the modern Enneagram movement. In Part 2 today, we’ll go beyond the timeline and reflect on what was happening behind the scenes as the Enneagram exploded in popularity during the 1980s and 90s. We’ll talk about the confusion, controversies, and competing schools of thought that marked those early years, along with the pivotal moments that first brought many of the leading teachers together. You can follow Russ at https://russhudson.com/.

If Russ and I’s conversation about the history of the Enneagram really intrigued you, I have good news. I spent months researching and developing a 3-hour Enneagram history course that you can preview for free at https://www.typeish.com/history
