It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T06:19:16.945465+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508"},"episode":{"title":"The Reading Room | Chapter Three : \"Personality and Wholeness in Therapy\"","slug":"the-reading-room-chapter-three-personality-and-wholeness-in-therapy","published_at":"2026-04-11T23:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508/the-reading-room-chapter-three-personality-and-wholeness-in-therapy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508","url":"https://www.aroundthecircle.org/episodes/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/1925f681-849a-46b7-847a-4ce11e316325.mp3","summary":"Join us for this advanced discussion of the Enneagram and the science behind it. Sign up for a $20 Membership : HERE Then click here for links and all the details: HERE In this episode, we continue our deep dive into Personality and Wholeness in Therapy by Daniel J. Siegel, exploring Chapter 3 and one of the most ambitious questions in Enneagram work: How do the nine types actually form? Drawing from neuroscience and developmental theory, this conversation moves beyond philosophy and into the subcortical layers of the brain—where emotion, instinct, and survival strategies take shape. We unpack Siegel’s framework of agency, bonding, and certainty, and how core aversive emotions like anger, distress, and anxiety drive the formation of personality patterns at a deeply embodied level.
