Type Four - The Individualist

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE AN INDIVIDUALIST?

"They're ​a ​type ​that ​really ​appreciate ​honesty ​and ​integrity, that ​is ​what ​you ​will ​always ​get ​from ​them; they ​will ​always ​be ​honest. ​They're sometimes ​called ​the ​tortured ​artist ​​because ​they ​feel ​their ​emotions ​very ​acutely ​and ​they're ​more ​comfortable ​with ​negative ​emotions than ​any ​other ​type; So ​emotions ​like ​anger ​or ​sadness ​or ​grief, they ​can ​sit ​with ​those ​with ​far ​more ​comfort ​than ​anybody ​else.."

At Leeds Sanctuary, we run popular Retreat Days and a Book Club all about The Enneagram - an ancient personality typing tool which many people still find helpful and relevant today! In this podcast series, join Emily and Anna as they discuss the strengths and challenges of each Enneagram type, their core motivations and fears, defence mechanisms, and tips for being emotionally healthy over stressed and burnt out. This episode focuses on Enneagram Type Four, "The Individualist". Let us know if anything you hear resonates with you!
