new series alert guys and this one is going to be called counter types i am so freaking excited for
this one and you might be asking what the heck is a counter type hillary well every type all
nine types has a counter type and this is due to every type having a subtype also known as
instinctual variants i'm sure you guys have heard of the self-preservation instinct the social
instinct the sexual instinct also known as the one-to-one instinct those are all the instinctual
variants for each type and within each of these is a counter type this is the one that doesn't appear
to be the number slash type on the outside and the interesting fact about counter types is it's not
the same for each type it's not like all socials are the counter type or all self preservations
are the counter type no every type has a different counter type and it can be the self preservation
the social or the sexual it varies within all nine types and today we are starting with the
type 9 you would have seen that in the thumbnail but yes that is where we are going to start today
if you're new here welcome i'm hillary your certified enneagram life coach i run
enneagram and coaching where i love to teach the enneagram in the simple and easiest way possible
so what is the counter type of the nine it's the social nine which is my type i'm the counter type
nine most people when they meet me think i might be a seven because of my outside behaviors but
nope i definitely am a type 9 and i actually have went through that whole entire process of
thinking maybe i am mistyped in the video right here and so go give that a watch if you want to
know a little bit more about my whole like trying to find my type process all right so moving on
let me break this down a little better for you guys so if you relate to the core desire of the
nine which is you know they want a piece of mind they want harmony they want stability that's some
of their core desires um their core fears are fear of conflict their fear of being overlooked loss of
relationship those are some of the fears of the nine their core weakness which is sloth you know
kind of falling asleep to their own dreams and desires not moving forward kind of staying in that
same spot and uh even maybe numbing out to life uh if you relate to those for the nine then most
likely you are a type nine if you'd say that's the core of who you are that is what motivates you
that is what drives you then most likely you are a nine then we move on to those three instinctual
variants which are the self-preservation the social and the sexual and fun fact when people
think of nines they're usually thinking of the self-preservation nines and the sexual nights
those are more of the stereotypical nine and so that social is the counter type and so i
want to break that one down and let you know what the social nine actually looks like those
social nines they merge with a group they tend to have more energy than other nines the social
nine runs the risk of becoming a workaholic they will also put their own wants their own issues
their own opinions aside to keep that happy face on so that they don't burden other people
this nine really wants to be part of a community part of a group it brings them comfort the sloth
of the social nine looks totally different than the self-preservation nine and the sexual nine for
them it's way more about doing which is surprising right but it is it's about doing and staying busy
but usually it's to avoid important things that they actually need to be working on this nine is
very outgoing very energetic i think i hit on that already um they have difficulty saying no
and to finish it off this one could be mistyped most likely as a type two
a type three or even a type seven and counter types are a really big reason why people have
a hard time identifying their own type it could be like one of these things doesn't look like the
other that is what happens within all nine types the social uh self-press and sexual they there's
always a counter type in there i've actually heard the counter types called divergence which
i absolutely loved i actually loved the movie and i would love to think of myself as divergent
so if you are a nine and you have felt like uh some of these behaviors that you have don't align
with being a nine now you know why you know it's because you might be a social nine which means
that's your first instinct you might have the other two also usually you use one of the three
instincts for the most part like for the most of your life but you also can use the other two
so it doesn't mean you don't use those at all you do it's just we kind of like to put them in order
and that helps us understand each type better so anyways that's the nine um like i said at the
beginning this is a series i'm gonna try and get these out a lot faster than i normally do guys you
guys know a lot of times i'll just do one video a week but that can take nine weeks to get the
whole series out and so i'm gonna do these a lot faster maybe not as fast as my last series which
i ended up doing types one through nine in the last two weeks it was that coaching corner series
um that i did on all nine types i will link those right here if you want to go give those
a watch because they were really good they were really quick coaching tips for each type
but like i said i did get those out pretty darn fast they were a lot shorter videos so anyways
that's all i have today for the counter type nine um but you guys know i don't like to close these
without letting you know i do offer coaching i do offer typing sessions and coaching sessions and
couples coaching sessions and different things like that if you've gotten to this point you're
still not sure what type you are or if you do know your type and you're like gosh i would love some
coaching i link all of that down below in the description box go ahead and click those links
to find out more information but that's all i have for today guys until next time bye guys
you
