#TBT S4 Ep6 The Psychological Dimensions of the Instincts
Enneagram 2.0 with Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio PaesShow Notes
This week, due to our retreats happening on full speed, we're reposting one of our #BestOF2025 episodes!
In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological layers of the Enneagram’s three instincts: Self-Preservation, Social, and Sexual. We explore the profound influence of parenting dynamics on the dominant instinct, uncovering how caregivers shape our instinctual survival strategies.
How does a parent’s role reinforce or distort an instinct’s expression? Why do some of us become hyper-independent while others seek belonging at all costs? And what happens when our core needs feel unmet? Join us as Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes bridge the wisdom of the Enneagram with psychological inquiry.
