Hi! I'm Hillary, welcome to my channel, Enneagram and Coaching! I love teaching a simplified way for you to understand the Enneagram while developing clarity and compassion for yourself and the people in your life! I love coming alongside you to help you land on your Enneagram Type.

Sometimes people have an easy time landing on their type but other times they have a hard time because they can relate to 2 types and have a hard time figuring out which one they are. For example, the 4w5 and the 5w4 have so many similarities that it can be hard to know which one you are. That's why I teach on this platform. I love to help you in any way I can. And when my videos just aren't helping you totally land on your type I have sessions you can purchase where I can come alongside you and help you see things that you might not be able to see.

Thanks for watching, liking, and subscribing! It truly is a blessing to me!

It gets even worse when these struggles come together. I often procrastinate because I can't decide which task to tackle first or which option to choose within a task. Same with "going first": Sometime I have quite a strong gut feeling about a topic, but it takes me to long to choose the right words to say it.

I think a helpful series would be: The Healthy vs. the Unhealthy 9, and other types, as well.

My mom is a 9 to a tee! Her 8 wing shows up when she brutally rebuffs our attempts at telling her what to do lolz. Mom has six other siblings, and she is the ONLY one who gets along with each of her siblings (even though some of them don't get along with each other). She actually broke out in shingles last year because she didn't want to cause conflict with a toxic sibling and kept telling us she was fine, but she obviously wasn't, and it manifested in painful shingles. Mom always seeks the path of least resistance and I really admire that quality (I'm a 4w5 btw). Thanks for the list, Hillary and helping me appreciate my mom even more :-)

False peace is a big deal. Until you wake up to yourself, Its almost impossible to make the distinction.

Yikes! I was married to a type 9 for 30 years. I wish I had known about the enneagram then. That minimizing issues part, that's tough to hear. He did that a lot it seems but I didn't know it at the time. The picking a restaurant, it was a problem a lot! As a 7, I want everyone to be happy, so I didn't want to be the one to pick even though I usually could have quite easily said "This is where I want to go". But, I wanted to be kind and give someone else a chance to make the choice (I want everyone to be happy...I really do)

I relate to all these as well as I identify as a type 9 too.
However, I have stopped to view procrastinating as a problem. I like keeping my options open and acting too soon, may close some options off. And also, just as you actually admitted, my best work happens after enough procrastination and working against a deadline to get it done. While I agree that it can be exhausting, it is also really exhilarating.

Tritype 379 and I can relate a little!

That sigh sounds like my partner. XD

It’s almost always a hassle to decide where to eat, because I rattle off places, and no matter what, the first 10 are always no. 😂

On the not making decisions, I have a 2 type spouse, so choosing 2-4 acceptable options and having him pick from those works
