119: TriTypes of the Enneagram-What are they and what role do they play in who you are?

Today’s episode will allow you to understand at an even deeper level why two of the same Enneagram types can be radically different from one another.⁣<br />⁣<br />That’s because while our core type doesn’t change, how it’s expressed does.⁣<br />⁣<br />Listen now⁣<br />⁣<br />⁣<br />The TriTypes will help you understand more about yourself.⁣<br />⁣<br />You don’t hear about the TriTypes much because it will send you down a rabbit hole, but they’re important to help you understand why you resonate with or lean into different numbers.⁣<br />⁣<br />With the TriTypes, we end up having 27 different combinations.⁣<br />⁣<br />This is why there’s more to the Enneagram than just 9 types; it’s very complex and pretty amazing. In fact, I could talk for days and days about all the TriType combinations.⁣<br />⁣<br />Instead, I’m going to give you a simple introduction.⁣<br />⁣<br />Basically, each main type takes on multiple expressions; the three main expressions are found in the 1. gut or body center, 2. the heart center, and 3. the head center.⁣<br />⁣<br />We all use all three, but depending on our type, it’s harder for us to access certain centers.⁣<br />⁣<br />Our TriTypes don’t always reflect our growth or stress numbers—or even our wings. For example, I use my gut first, then my heart, and lastly my head. My tritypes would be the 8 (gut), then the 3 (heart), and lastly the 7 (head).⁣<br />⁣<br />Here’s how to identify yours...⁣<br /><br />Quotes:<br />2:16 ⁣<br />With the tritypes, we end up having 27 different Enneagram archetype combinations. ⁣<br />⁣<br />3:34⁣<br />These three different types that make up your tri-type: 1 resides in the gut or body center of intelligence, 1 falls into the heart center of intelligence and 1 falls into the head center of intelligence. ⁣<br />⁣<br />4:27 ⁣<br />The 4s, when they are in a growth pattern they go and take on a type in the gut triad and under stress they take on another one in the heart triad. ⁣<br />⁣<br />5:01 ⁣<br />Our Enneagram tri-types don’t always reflect our gro
