Enneagram Stress and Security | High Side & Low Side

What if your stress move isn't always unhealthy? And what if moving into security can sometimes bring out your worst self?

In this episode of The Reading Room, Jeff explores one of the most important ideas in Helen Palmer's The Enneagram in Love and Work: the high side and low side of our stress and security moves.

Moving around the Enneagram, we look at how all nine types respond to pressure, what becomes possible when their defenses relax, and why both stress and security can lead toward growth—or toward some of our most destructive habits.

The central question: What if growth isn't simply about moving away from stress and toward security, but learning to recognize and intentionally engage the healthiest possibilities in both?
