Enneagram Type Six: Defender

[maniac]

The Primary types (3, 6, and 9) have the potential for the greatest gift from within each Center — a potentiality that, by nature, generates some degree of polarity switching between ideal/connected and disconnected from the Center’s core gift.

Sixes, for example, can be highly intuitive (a higher ‘central’ vibration of the Head Center), but they generally don’t trust their intuition, so they become disconnected from the optimal function of the Head Center… but when connected, have a unique gift there.

This quote's going through my mind all the time.

The 8 counterpart would go like:

"I don't trust* easily. So when I tell you I trust you - don't fuck it up. Or else you'll regret it."


*can also be substituted with "protect".
