This episode revisits a profound conversation with Tamara Kroeker, an Enneagram expert, as she explores the intricate dynamics of Type 2 Helpers, the selfless caregivers who often neglect their needs while striving to keep others happy. Through rich discussions, the episode differentiates Type 2s from Type 9 Peacemakers, highlighting the varied desires for relational harmony versus inner peace. Tamara and hosts Wendi Park and Johan Heinrichs delve into the emotional depths of Helpers, shedding light on their strengths, potential for resentment, and paths to personal growth. The dialogue extends to other Enneagram types, painting a comprehensive picture of how diverse personalities contribute to community well-being. Finally, the episode teases an upcoming conversation with Dr. Michael Hrenick on sustainable helping, promising further insightful explorations in the series.Time Stamps[00:00] Episode Introduction with Johan[08:15] The Enneagram reveals unconscious behavior's hidden depth.[11:58] Understanding individuality and self-discovery through language.[18:04] Human experience: body, emotions, mind, preference.[21:16] Eights: loyal, strong, direct, authentic, dependable friend.[28:35] Prioritize self-discovery to benefit community integration.[32:43] Encouraging constructive criticism for team improvement.[39:55] Twos excel at helping; embrace personal needs.[45:55] Leading collaboratively, inherently drawing like-minded individuals.[51:52] Fours are misunderstood; emotions often undervalued.[53:13] Church empaths offer safe support for vulnerability.]01:01:54] Loyalist Enneagram 6: cautious, essential, balanced interaction.[01:08:56] Dreamers must embrace reality for true adventure.Guest LinksEnneagram Aware: https://www.enneagramaware.ca/Other LinksFlavours of Care Series: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/ab81dab3-b346-4dbb-bcad-f7034dfa5e00Reach out to us! https://journeywithcare.ca/podcastEmail: podcast@careimpact.caCareImpact: careimpact.caAbout the CarePortal: careimpact.ca/careportalDONATE!
