Arrows of Stress and Security

One of the most powerful tools in the enneagram is understanding your type’s “arrows”

  • Understanding your arrows of stress can give you the power to stop your stress responses sooner.

  • First you dip into the unhealthy traits of your type

  • Then you move into the unhealthy traits of another type.

    • Recognize when you begin to enter into this state of stress.

    • Rate your stress and where you are at.

    • Check in with all your centers of intelligence (mind, body, heart) and see if one is overcompensating.

    • Use the arrow of security to help ground you and move you away from your unwanted stress behaviors.
