Enneagram Subtypes 401: Self-Preservation (Types 1–3)
Description
Kelly and Damon wade into the deep end of subtypes starting with the self-preservation (SP) instinct for Types 1, 2, and 3. You’ll learn how SP shapes motivation (not just behavior):
- SP One: striving for goodness, future-proofing with order and control, and why it can look like a Six.
- SP Two: playful, guarded, seeking love and protection and how that can mistype as a Seven.
- SP Three: “be the best, look modest,” working tirelessly for security while hiding the need for admiration.
They revisit the “three-layer cake” (dominant, secondary, repressed instincts), clear up common mistyping with Sixes, and preview next week’s episode covering SP Types 4–6. If you’ve ever wondered why you plan, protect, or perform the way you do, this 401-level walkthrough will click.
