Episode 23 - Sterlin Mosley SX/SP/SO 4 and the 27 Types of Narcissism

This week I was lucky enough to interview Sterlin Mosley, author of the book The Narcissist in You and Everyone Else: Recognizing the 27 Types of Narcissism which was only released two weeks ago. Sterlin Mosley graduated from the University of Oklahoma with Master’s Degree in Human Relations with an emphasis on counseling and personality psychology. Dr. Mosley received his PhD in Communication focused on intrapersonal, cultural and interpersonal communication from the same institution. He teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in Human Relations such as Cultural Awareness, Personality and Human Relations and Sexism and Homophobia. His research into the Enneagram personality system and self-description seeks to uncover the language and subjective psychological experiences of the 9 personality types. Sterlin is a certified Enneagram teacher and coach and trained extensively with Enneagram Master Teacher and Coach Katherine Fauvre. In addition to being a personality nerd, Sterlin is the co-founder and Creative Director of Central Oklahoma Dance Company and school and ballet dancer.
Sterlin and I talk about the extensive research he has done into typing and discovering a person's instinctual stack as well as his personal experience towards discovering his own type. Sterlin discusses the motivation for publishing his book and gives us a sneak peak into some of the less recognized forms of narcissism out there.

Episode 24 - Am I a Type 5 or Type 9?

Kara interviews her colleague Darren Yee who is a Myers Briggs typologist and works for the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute where he provides coaching to those in launching startups. Darren is new to the Enneagram and was lacking some clarity over his type and stack so he offered to have his typing session recorded so you can learn some of the important difference between the point five and point nine structures, which is a common mistype. We also touch on another common mistype between point nine and point two and explore Darren's instinctual stack. 
Darren and I are learning typology from https://www.personalityhacker.com/ who also offers a free online test if you want to start exploring how your MBTI influences your Enneatype. Please reach out to me at Enneagramblindspots.com if you would like to be typed in private or on a future episode.

Episode 26 -Type 5 Explores His Stack and MBTI

Meet Trevor Walsh, a Counsellor at Vancouver Coastal Health who also has his own private Enneagram based counselling practice. This is a long episode and I just couldn't cut any of it because I so enjoyed the places our conversation took us. Trevor manifests components of all three instinctual drives and has historically identified as SP. We also talk alot about Meyer's Briggs typology and why this INTJ tests as an INFJ. We also talk about psychedelics and how these may impact the nervous system in different types. Enjoy the journey!
