Why You Withdraw, Talk Too Much, or Bulldoze People

The Deeper Layer Behind Why You React the Way You Do - Through the Lens of the Enneagram

Ever wonder why you retreat when things get tough? Or why your friend always talks through everything out loud? Or why some people seem to barrel forward like a freight train?

In this episode, we're diving into the three stances of the Enneagramโ€”Withdrawing, Dependent (or Responsive), and Independent (or Assertive). These stances shape how each type moves through the world, handles stress, and interacts with others.

Youโ€™ll learn:

  • Why some types retreat into their inner world, while others think out loud or steamroll ahead

  • What might be behind your default stress response

  • How understanding these patterns can improve your relationships, parenting, coaching, and self-compassion

  • What to say (and not say) when interacting with each of these energetic styles

  • Why knowing someoneโ€™s stance can be even more helpful than knowing their exact Enneagram type

If you're stuck trying to figure out your type, or you're a coach or leader who wants to communicate more effectively, this episode will help you recognize core energetic patterns that run underneath the surface.
