Understanding The Inner Critic with Chelsea Witbrook

In this episode of Do It for The Gram, Milton speaks with Chelsea Witbrook, a certified spiritual director and Enneagram teacher, about our inner critic that operates across all Enneagram types. The inner critic is not just a critical voice, it’s a set of beliefs, demands and expectations for how we think we need to be, preventing us from changing. It supports our positive self-image, but staying within the bounds of our types. Chelsea unpacks this internal struggle and how it differs from our inner observer, which comes from a more neutral place. She also shares practical tools and strategies to take back control of your inner narrative.

Social 8 - The Countertype Lens with Jessica Denise Dickson

In this episode, Jessica Denise Dickson returns to Do It For The Gram to discuss her countertype of Social 8 with Milton. After learning about the Enneagram during her time in higher education, Denise initially thought she was an Enneagram Two. She spent a few years doing work as a Two, but it was when she learned about the instincts and listened to women that she realized that she’s actually an Eight. She talks about her shift to Social Eight and how she’s transformed by this information. As she integrates Enneagram in her work, Denise provides a lot of insight on why typing is a journey of discovery, growth, healing and transformation and why she focuses more on the things the types give attention to such as core fears, desires, passions and fixations.
