S3E2: Ennegram Mix Up, Mistyping as Your Opposite

Erica York Season 3 Episode 2

**“So many Enneagram 2s are absolutely convinced they’re 8s… until something deeper clicks. In this episode, we unpack why it’s so common to mistype yourself as your opposite—especially if you grew up carrying emotional weight, navigating trauma, or stepping into strength before you were ready.

We dive into how behaviors can look identical while motivations are polar opposite. We explore what a ‘hurt 2’ looks like, why the 2-to-8 stress line confuses everything, and how to finally tell which type you truly are.

If you’ve ever thought, ‘I’m strong, independent, and I take no crap—how could I be a 2?’ this conversation is for you. You might just discover the real reason you built that armor in the first place.”**
