I have never had a panic attack until last year when I unexpectedly lost my job again. It’s a horrible thing that I now understand. Breathing is a great way to get grounded, also to walk through the five senses to identify what you feel, hear, see, smell, and taste. And for me the best thing is to go on a walk to diffuse the built up energy that is happening in the body.
I’m a six and I can relate to this. I don’t have any panic attacks. But I do get anxious. I like to mentally prepare for the future. I’m in the sandwich generation with kids in their twenties and parents in the eighties. I’m also a nursing home nurse and I can see problems ahead that could occur for my parents and my in-laws. It makes it challenging when family members don’t see potential problems which often occur in the elderly. I do admissions in the nursing home and I see what happens when people get frail.
I’m so glad that a relation between OCD and an enneagram type 6 was mentioned! Makes so much sense to me. I’ve dealt with OCD my whole life and if only I knew about the enneagram many years ago I would have been able to start my journey with personal growth so much sooner.
Hey we really appreciate the way you explain, relate and talk through the enneagram. You bring empathy and lightheartedness in these videos, which is very impactful. I’m actually an SP 4w3, but type 6 is in my triad. And rightfully so, because I highly related to this content and took note of your tips. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Obsessive thoughts I describe it as a horrible merry go round of thoughts that you get stuck on. Spinning, spinning and spinning. Unfortunately this merry go round is no fun and you are trapped on it. It is frustrating process that makes you ill. Others do not understand and say just stop, but the centrifugal force of the merry go round pulls you back in over and over.. This can be all encompassing, paralyzing and prevents you from socializing, working, and worst of all not sleeping.
It’s tough when those thoughts take over like that. You're definitely not alone in this experience, and it's important to find ways to cope and seek support.
I’m a 9 but stuck in 6 mode since in a difficult relationship; a lot of this resonates to my current life but I want to get back to my carefree 9 self!
I thank youtube for finding your channel.. . I'm a type 6w7. I wanted to be more self aware so I can address my issues ( esp. Overthinking) and to be a better person. I wanted to be prepared ahead of time and can think every worse case scenarios. 😞It's exhausting because I just can't shutdown my mind 😕 yes, I am very anxious if something came up unexpectedly or if I sense something is off. With the OCD, I have impulses. I can't be at ease if I won't do something about it. I feel overwhelmed. It alarmed other people as I can't control my emotions which lead me to do something crazy out of impulsitivity. 7 helps me to be optimistic if things seem hopeless. Thanks for sharing about this.
My son is a 6w7 and OMG he is exactly what you describe with the obsessive compulsive behavior and thoughts! I would love to reach out and discuss this further to determine at what point does this need to be addressed professionally.
I’m not really a minimalist but I only need one of my stuff. I have 1 Fanny pack until it breaks and I’ll get another. I wear one- two pair of shoes until they wear out. Etc.
My husband is a 3 and always has to get a million versions of the things he likes. Pocket knives, guns, katanas, pendants he can never just get a couple. There’s always a cooler one he has to get

I am loyal to ice cream flavors and menu items like I am people! Lol my husband always makes fun of me for getting the same stuff, I like what I like and I’m not risking getting something I won’t like😂
For instance my husband’s ex tries to alienate his kids from us and I get stuck in obsessive thoughts about finding things out about her, trying to gather evidence for court and I’ll catch myself researching laws, court cases, her social media, trying to prepare for a court case we aren’t even in yet and may never be in. Trying to feel like I have some kind of grasp on the situation that’s completely out of my hands
I'm an unhealthy teenage infp 6w5 (I'm not entirely sure about my wing). I recently discovered I was a six and everything makes more sense now. I have the book, "the wisdom of the enneagram" and I've been trying to use it for inner work to become a healthy 6. But it's like I can never remember what I was complaining about once I've moved on from those feelings. So how am I supposed to examine them? I feel like I avoid those kind of introspective thoughts when I'm by myself because I can distract myself, but when I'm around people it's all I can think about. And sometimes it's the opposite way around.
@@everythingtemi130 Then perhaps you are working on being a better person! Check out Dabrowski's 5 levels of development, and/or Maslow's characteristics of self-actualised people. Those did help me.
Just the act of trying to remember improves your capacity to remember. Try to remember for a little longer past when you would give up normally. Here's your remembral.
Have you seen the show severance? I find it really interesting and view the character Irving as very 6ish. It's interesting because you see two sides of him in the show, one that's really about upholding rules. One that's very distrustful. I feel that 6s can go both ways depending on circumstance

Thanks, I will apply these...
I have panic attacks about my body functions. I will overthink my breathing and then cause myself to panic that my lungs aren’t functioning properly.

That badkin robins story is hilarious

I honestly don’t use glass cups! I use plastic to prevent my kids breaking them😂

Oh my, hopefully you don't hurt the people around you too much or too often. Immature Fi can be ... I don't even have a word to describe it.

Great video .
