As an Enneagram Self-Preservation 4 who tends to overwork, under-rest, and underplay because I get carried away by my mood, I am taking this whole week off instead to turn off my reactive autopilot mode and move out of my rigid patterns. (Therapists gotta do their own personal work too!) ❤️🌿
In this blog, I share how my Enneagram Type 4 shows up in my day-to-day, relationships, and decisions.

Because of our reactive habits of thinking, feeling, and doing don't quite align with what society tends to value, Fours tend to get misunderstood and misassumed often - which is a KICKER, because BEING MISUNDERSTOOD is one of the biggest trigger buttons for Fours.
💚 If you ARE a Type Four yourself - you're not alone, what you're experiencing IS a thing, you're not making s**t up, and no you're not crazy. But you DO have some work to do so you don't get stuck in your patterns.
💛 If you are IN a relationship with a Type Four, I promise - there IS a consistent order and reason for their patterns - it's not as chaotic as they're portrayed to be. Get to know them from the inside out (it'll be easier than trying to figure them out from the outside in).
Who knows? You might learn more about yourself too from learning about these navelgazing, self-introspection specialists. In many ways, Fours OVERDO what everyone else UNDERDOES. Learn what those are, and practice those things yourself on purpose!
Have a read - chances are, you yourself or someone you know may resonate!
