We continue our conversation on Type 9s, with our own Katie and Mary, and guest Jeremy McQuown. Make sure to listen to part 1 if you haven't yet heard it! You don't want to miss hearing the common traits of Enneagram Type 9.
Tips from our Type 9s: Don’t interpret a 9s lack of response as not caring. Consider that they are worn out from caring so much for others that they need some downtime to recharge. If you suspect you are parenting a 9, give them opportunities to choose and “impact the things they can impact”.
Major Quote: On a heart level with 9s, there is a longing for peace and harmony and relational connection with people that we’re going to engage in a relationship and a situation, whatever it my be, with good intentions.
How to show love to 9s: Hold space. See me. Care for my opinions and listen. Focus on what I do, not what I have not done. Helping bring peace to the environment is a loving gesture to a Type 9.
