Conversation | The Enneagram of Traps

This was a fun, free-wheeling conversation on one of the lesser known foundational pieces to the modern enneagram: Oscar Ichazo’s Enneagram of Traps. The Traps are the ways each type falls into as a mistaken remedy to [attempt to] overcome the type’s mental fixation. Inspired by Abram’s Instagram series on the traps [@integratedenneagram] we riff on the fixations, the holy ideas, and how the traps try (and fail) to reconcile them.  2:00 The history of the enneagram of traps 3:58 The mental FIXATIONS of our types 3:55 The HOLY IDEA as the true way to alleviate the fixation 5:24 Mario Sikora’s take on phenomenology vs. ontology 6:55 Traps as maladaptive patterns 8:10 Why Creek drinks pumpkin spice lattes 9:45 The traps for each type  28:30 How to begin to identify fallen into our traps 29:50 How the traps impact our stories 30:30 “We are walking metaphors living out a story that our whole body believes.” - Tom Condon 32:00 Resources on the Traps: Transpersonal Psychologies by Ichazo, Sandra Maitri’s Enneagram of Spirituality, and Patrick O’Leary’s The Enneagram 32:15 Buy Creek a pumpkin spiced latte!
