S3 EP2 Subtype Interview: Self Preservation Type 6 Personal Growth Journey
Bea and Uranio interviewed Trent Thornley, a Self-Preservation Six, to find out what helped him in his growth journey and to learn about how he experiences his Enneagram type and subtype. He talks about how he came to the Enneagram. He discussed how the Enneagram gave him Ah ha moments as well as uh oh moments. Trent discussed that all nine types have needs, it’s just that there is an over-functioning or over-dependency on the needs of each Enneagram type. He shared there is a false sense of security in the act of doubting. There is an unconscious idea that constant questioning will bring the Self-Preservation Six to a conclusion that will bring the truth of the matter and more importantly, security. How does he work through this false idea?
This is a powerful interview with many insights for those who are Self-Preservation Six subtypes or have Self-Preservation Six subtypes in their lives.
Trent served as President of the International Enneagram Association in 2022 and 2023. He is the Executive Director and Director of Clinical Pastoral Education at the San Francisco Night Ministry and an ordained Buddhist Dharma Leader in the Nyingma lineage. Trent is also an ordained minister in the Metropolitan Community Churches, a progressive Christian denomination with an outreach to the LGBTQ+ community.
