    Leaning Into Grief for The Enneagram 4 with Devon Niesen

    In this conversation, Devon Neisen joins Dave and explores the complexities of the Enneagram Four personality type, focusing on themes of perceived brokenness and the quest for self-worth through uniqueness. The discussion delves into how these beliefs shape emotional health and relationships, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's intrinsic value beyond societal expectations. Takeaways Enneagram Fours often feel inherently broken. The belief of being broken can stem from childhood experiences. Uniqueness is seen as a way to fill the void of self-worth. Parental communication plays a crucial role in shaping self-perception. Feeling unique can lead to a sense of worthiness. The journey of self-acceptance is vital for emotional health.
