Enneagram: Listen To The Council Of Your Numbers

[@akpost8780]

For a Type 4, this is incredibly helpful. I think the “power” of a 4 is their placement near the 5, 3, and 1 in the Enneagram more so than their number itself. To any 4s out there, you’re an artist surrounded by the scientist, champion, and your integration is toward the perfectionist. It’s the best placement in my opinion even though being a 4 is really tough. Take heart. It’s about progress and not just staying in 4ness. If that makes sense.

Thank you so much for this. I'm a 9w1 who is kind of stuck in the 'complacent, zoned out, floating through life' phases right now because I'm both overwhelmed about the state of the world and confused on how to proceed in my personal life. Actually taking the time to listen to what my 1, 8, 6, and 3 have to say it honestly feels a lot less..daunting? Might be weird but it feels like I'm less alone in my decision making. I'm currently doing some work that I've put off doing for weeks thanks to the consult. Thank you again!

[@atypicalgeek88]

I know this comment is ancient - I think this technique is especially genius for 9s because we're great at seeing other perspectives, often want extra direction and to please the other members of the council!

[@141614]

If you could find the time to do examples for all the types that would be great! Love ur content

[@twlahue]

Noted!

[@rebeccaanne9863]

Yes please! I second this!

[@JuliaJayATOP]

Or just mine 8 w 7

[@Yinsaei]

I second this as well :)

[@JPfreedom]

@@twlahue love this video and was going to make this request as well regarding other examples. Now, is "Noted!" a typical 7 response to such a request? 😆

[@maryellenott50]

Really helpful! I am definitely at a crossroads right now and need all the help I can get with decision making. Love this. Thanks 💜

[@Rebecca-is5oj]

For me, one of the best videos I’ve watched about well-rounded self-development. Thank you for adding the last bits following, “a seven always has more to share...”. So glad you went on. (No.9w1: 6, 3 & 8ish). ;)

[@justapseudonym7]

9w1 and my 8 wing definitely pops up during decision making as well as 6 (voice of stress) that tells me all the things that could go wrong 😅 I've been listening to 1 wing and 6 stress for too long leading to niceties and people pleasing. But now I want to grow more in 8 and 3 and it's been daunting but also exhilarating lol

[@dagnabit27851]

As a 1, people often start to roll their eyes when I bring up the logistical details of a plan. It's not my intention to tear down the plan but I can often be the person poking as many holes in the logic as possible to see if the idea can hold up. If all the logistical requirements are solid, it is more likely to work. It sounds like a miserable perspective and people hate when I go down that road but logistics are important. Lol

[@DarrenbyDesign]

I feel you I always feel like I'm the grim reaper to people because of it... Instead the helpful person I'm trying to be

[@mkschiavone]

I absolutely love going to a 6 in health as a 3. It helps me examine all possible outcomes and strategic planning, rather than shoot from the hip on my next big venture.

[@twlahue]

Yes, that is good.

[@theglamteacher7386]

Just wanted to pop on here and say that I really appreciate your videos. I have learned so much about myself and people around me. Thank you for your detailed analysis on the numbers. From, a 8w7!

[@gretchencline5124]

Oh my gosh! This was so so helpful! I’m a 7w8 and I’ve always disliked my “6” 🤣🤣🤣 I really appreciate your videos! Thank you!

[@twlahue]

You are so welcome!

[@tanjaeikenboom]

Would love to hear this council of voices also for the Nine. Right now I can not hear the negative voice of each, the dismissive that each in their own way say I am not important.

[@laliawilson9937]

9w1. I loved this presentation. It is so useful. Many thanks Dr. Tome.

[@MatthewEaton]

Oh yeah. 5w4 with 7 unleashed. I keep forgetting that 6 and 8 exist, but those are human things and I hate being human. Ugh. I guess balance is key.

[@mamataabdou5271]

Love your content!

[@RebeccaLStamm]

I would also add it could be possible to include the numbers within someone’s tritype especially if they are not within the five numbers from the dominant, the wings, and the growth/stress numbers. For example, my tritype is 479, so although I would not draw from the 7 and 9 from my growth/stress or my wings, I definitely tap into 7 and 9 frequently :). I find the tritype is super important, because it taps into each center of the enneagram circumference. Thank you for this wonderful video!!!😁

[@jacobfaulkner6812]

Please do a series of videos going through the council of each type!!!!

[@twlahue]

I will consider that.

[@ashleyching3166]

One of the most helpful videos on your channel

[@mindyvalle6595]

😍😍😂 thank you! Awesome video

[@VipulSingh-00033]

Ennegrams are really helpfull

[@jsievers]

This "clicked" with me. Thank you :)

[@Desperation--Live]

Hello everyone, this is a great vid btw, But if you enjoy the ennegram and music. I was recently told about the band "Sleeping at last". They have an album called "atlas: ennegram" which has a song (9) for each type on the ennegram. They aren't exactly my style... But if you are interested, I saw them on Spotify and it's useful if you want to see a snapshot of a different type:)

[@lakigreen4117]

Great thought experiment. Will be sitting down with pen and paper and drawing up our conference table. Thank you!

[@twlahue]

Wonderful!

[@natachaunelus]

Please do this for every type

[@יעקבשבת]

thank you DR. how do you tap to the 4 numbers that is not close to my number?

[@jacobfaulkner6812]

Also, have you listened to the 9 Enneagram songs by SleepingAtLast?

[@twlahue]

Yes, great stuff.

[@Masechka143]

This is super helpful! Thank you!

[@twlahue]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wendyharty1870]

I'm a social 7 and am interested in the fact that I can drop into a 4 space too. I've seen a KZbin vid where someone was talking about going deeply into 4 to give a more pure experience. Do you know anything about this?

[@Stoffendous]

I love you Tom

[@JuliaJayATOP]

I need to do this exercise thank you

[@nutritionalpharmacist]

Example: 4 is in control 5/3 wings Co VPs 1/2 intergration HEALTH/disintergration STRESS

[@laundrine]

Dr. LaHue, where does the wisdom of the enneagram come from?

@@twlahue thank you

[@cityheavenlight]

I'm a 9w1 and i'm not listening to my eight and six at all

[@MsChristianD]

I am a 4 wing 7/5. Its a non stop battle for domination inside my head... :(

[@MsChristianD]

Kate Ortega Ya, you’d think. Welcome to my world.

[@akschauer]

Christian, I think what you are describing is called the TriType or True Type Wiring, not wings. From enneagram.net: "Although one of these three Types is dominant, or your primary Type, the other two Types play a large role in your life. What is surprising is that these two other Types are not always the Types along the lines of connection (the lines connected to your primary Type)...If you are an Enneagram Type 4 you might have a Tritype of 4-6-8. This would mean you predominantly use Type 4, however, if the 4 strategies don?t work you will next use the strategies of Type 6 and then Type 8. Your Enneagram Type 4 would still be in charge. However, when the 4 strategies fails to produce results and all permutations (wings and lines of connections) of Type 4 have been exhausted, you will then shift to use the dominant Type in each of the other two centers to manage problems and create solutions."

[@jengibbs3049]

Im a 4 and often i get childlike ( not childish ) just like a healthy one. Maybe that’s what’s going on??

[@SchmausiMausi]

9 and I listen way too much to my 6. It always tells me what could go wrong...

[@twlahue]

Maybe your 6 needs a vacation! It sounds a bit too cautious.

[@ashleyching3166]

Interesting, I read integration/disintegration numbers were more dominant than wings, but I'll take your word for it.

[@misstigermilk]

7: Chief Ecstasy Officer?

[@aaronbell5994]

Haha 😄

[@FlamesAndShadows]

As a dominant Six, I have to admit, that sounded too much like a patronizing brush off.
