Drawing connections between Brown’s research and the Enneagram, this discussion covers stress, overwhelm, anxiety, worry, avoidance, fear, dread, and vulnerability—and asks what these experiences might be trying to teach us. Topics include: The relationship between stress, coping, and Enneagram movement Why overwhelm may require something different than more effort The distinction between anxiety, worry, and fear How personality shapes emotional experience Vulnerability as courage rather than weakness The ongoing conversation between head, heart, and body
