Enneagram with JB: A Podcast About Enneagram Personalities
The Emotions You Were Never Taught To Feel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of us were taught what to do with our thoughts. Few of us were taught what to do with our emotions.
In this episode, Courtney Bareman and I explore why certain emotions feel uncomfortable, overwhelming, or even inaccessible. Together, we'll unpack how family systems, personality patterns, and protective strategies shape our relationship with emotions and why avoiding what we feel often creates more suffering than feeling it.
You'll learn:
- Why many of us were never taught how to safely experience difficult emotions
- How personality influences the emotions we struggle to access
- Why unprocessed emotions often show up in our relationships, behaviors, and nervous systems
- Practical ways to increase emotional awareness without becoming overwhelmed
Whether you're new to the Enneagram or have been doing personal growth work for years, this conversation offers practical insights to help you move from automatic patterns toward greater awareness, freedom, and connection.
Because healing doesn't begin when we stop feeling. It begins when we become willing to feel what is already there.
