Type 4: The Longing for Depth, Authenticity, and Uniqueness

In this episode, we start wrapping up our series on our growth series. In these past few weeks, we have heard from Enneagram leaders from different schools of thought, comparing and contrasting the different models of the Enneagram. The Enneagram isn’t a method. It’s a map. But we can use different methods along our journey of transformational work. As we say our goodbyes, we ask these coaches how they feel their school contributes to the evolution of the Enneagram and what practices or strategies can we use the Enneagram for growth and development.Awareness to ActionEnneagram on Demand - Certification ProgramMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comPodcasts:Awareness to Action Enneagram in a MovieThe Narrative TraditionTerry Saracino:Web: https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/team/terry-saracino/Christopher Copeland:Web: illuminatingpaths.comNarrative Podcasts:Heart of the EnneagramThe Somatic EnneagramFrom Armor to EaseThe Enneagram InstituteGayle Scott: Email - [email protected] Naylor:Web - enneagrammaine.comYou Tube - Enneagram Maine Interviews—Fathoms | An Enneagram Podcast: Serious Growth for Unserious Humans—Help Fathoms, By Supporting Us Here: Fathoms Membership CommunityCo-hosts: Seth Abram, Seth Creekmore, Lindsey MarksProduction/Editing: Liminal...

We delve into the intricacies of this type, examining the motivations that drive individuals characterized by this type to seek connection and affirmation through their relationships with others.
