The Evolving Enneagram Interspiritual Podcast: Recent Episodes
Evolving Enneagram
Today’s episode (Ep 22 of the Evolving Enneagram Interspiritual Podcast) is part 3 of 3 on Attachment Types (3-6-9). Rev Nhien, J.D., M.Div. (E3) chats informally with friends & Enneagram-informed relationship & sex therapists Valerie Wanaker, LCSW (E6) and Lyndsey Fraser, MA LMFT CST (E9). Listen in as Nhien, Valerie, and Lyndsey share personally about how they see their subtypes playing out in the various stages of intimate relationship–from the courtship/flirting stage to that of building enduring (and not-so-enduring) bonds. Each also shares a gift the Enneagram has given them in their journeys of initiating, maintaining, and ending intimate relationships.

(E3) chats informally with friends & Enneagram-informed relationship & sex therapists Valerie Wanaker, LCSW (E6) and Lyndsey Fraser, MA LMFT CST (E9). Listen in as Nhien, Valerie, and Lyndsey explore Enneagram Attachment Types 3, 6, 9, including the the concept of a “belonging figure,” how the point of learning object relations is to go BEYOND seeing people (and ourselves) in an objectified way. Nhien, Valerie, and Lyndsey share personally about how they have shown up ( grown up and woken up!) in their intimate relationships, in love and sex.

Note from Nhien:
"The world as experience belongs to the basic word I-It. The basic word I-You establishes the world of relation." (Martin Buber, I and Thou, 56)
"Every You in the world is doomed by its nature to become a thing or at least to enter into thinghood again and again. In the language of objects: every thing in the world can—either before or after it becomes a thing—appear to some I as its You. But the language of objects catches only one corner of actual life." (Martin Buber, I and Thou, 69)
What does it mean to go beyond Object Relations? To another as a You and not an It? This is an inquiry I’ve been engaging for years. I’m delighted to share we got to touch on it a bit in this latest episode of our Evolving Enneagram interspiritual podcast.

Today’s episode is 1 of 3 on Attachment Types (3-6-9). Rev Nhien, J.D., M.Div. (E3) chats informally with Enneagram-informed relationship & sex therapists Valerie Wanaker, LCSW (E6) and Lyndsey Fraser, MA LMFT CST (E9). Listen in as Nhien, Valerie, and Lyndsey explore Enneagram Attachment Types 3, 6, 9, including object relations, attachment theory, and each’s own typing (including mistyping) journeys. They respond to questions such as what is the difference between attachment types and attachment theory? How does each relate to their respective “object relation”--does it fit? How does this compare to the object relation of their connecting points? Are attachment types “needier” than other Enneagram Types?

Listen in as the International Enneagram Association (IEA) Denmark Board members Annabella Al-Nafusi and Patrick Hougaard Simonsen interview Enneagram researcher and presenter Dr. Frederik Coene and Enneagram coach and community builder Reverend Nhien Vuong on the timely topic of how the Enneagram can help us in loving more fully even in the midst of war. Dr. Coene discusses how we can see different types and instincts showing up in the shade of war. Rev. Vuong shares on the topic of how Enneagram work, done individually and in Enneagram-literate conscious community can help us to “end othering.” Both share as well about their joint efforts to "love across borders" by helping Ukraine.
