Description

Today we continue our Enneagram subtype series and unpack the Self-Preservation instinct for Types 4, 5, and 6. Kelly explains how SP Fours pursue uniqueness through carefully curated “special” things, why SP Fives conserve time, energy, and resources, and how SP Sixes seek safety through alliances and preparation, including the phobic vs counterphobic expressions. Damon pushes for plain-language summaries, mistype clues, and real-life tells. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I a One or a Three… or an SP Four?” this one will help you sort it out.

What you’ll learn:

  • SP Four: authenticity, endurance, and why they can look like Ones or Threes
  • SP Five: minimalism, boundaries, and guarding energy
  • SP Six: security strategies, alliances, and phobic vs counterphobic
  • Quick motivation checks to avoid common mistypes
