Summary
What if understanding your Enneagram type could help you grieve with more self-compassion and support others without trying to fix their pain? In part two of this heartfelt conversation, Sarah Peterson and The Unfiltered Enneagram author Elizabeth Orr explore how Enneagram Sixes and Sevens respond to loss, fear, control, and emotional pain. They also explain how every Enneagram type can offer care while staying aware of their own habits. From setting healthy boundaries and releasing perfection to sitting with discomfort and knowing when humor is helpful, this episode offers honest, practical guidance for showing up during life’s hardest moments. Whether you are grieving a death, a relationship, a job, or an unexpected change, you will learn how presence, courage, and compassion can matter more than having the perfect words.
