Jon and Tristen Collins on the Enneagram and Why Emotions Matter (Enneagram 5 and 2) [S03-009]
Each Enneagram type approaches feelings from a different angle. Some types can be really in touch with their feelings, while others seem out of touch with their feelings. On today’s episode, our guests Jon and Tristen Collins join Ian to talk about “Why Emotions Matter.” As an Enneagram 5 and an Enneagram 2, this married couple couldn’t be more opposite when it comes to their emotions.
Tune in as Jon and Tristen explain how the Enneagram has helped them integrate the Enneagram Five’s tendency to withdraw from people and the enneagram Two’s capacity for empathy and caring to build a stronger marriage and improve their relationships with others.

“We very quickly learned that we approach emotions completely differently. So, I, as an Enneagram 5 distrust emotions and think they are actually are a liability in my life.” ”
