Intro/Outro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0pVXEBA3PU&list=RD--YiHE-06Rw&index=22 (pilgrim) Today we’re talking about Self-Preservation dominant 8s aka NOT Marissa but Donald Trump. Also known by Enneagram resources as the "Survivalist". In this episode we cover: How Marissa isn’t self-preservation dominant and Tara’s mind is blown, then we explore how the social (Maris) and sexual (Tara) instincts show up in our lives What a self-preservation dominant 8 may look like and behave How this type may be more angry and confrontational than the other instinctual variants of the 8 Famous 8w7 examples (Donald Trump / Gene Simmons) and famous 8w9 examples (Liam Neeson / Morgan Freeman / Susan Sarandon) What it may be like to work with a self-pres 8 How self-pres 8s might challenge people to be equals more than the other instinctual variants of the 8 The unhealthy and average range of a self-pres dominant 8 Also sorry 5s, the audio got cut in the beginning so a portion of your recap from the previous episode just wasn’t meant to be covered. Love you. Questions If you’re a self-pres 8 what is crying like for you? Or if you know a self-pres 8, do they cry often/rarely/ever? What’s that like? Self-pres 8s: do you call in sick? How does this instinctual variant soften themselves?
