#15: Emma Scott, Type 6 – "Resentful Accommodation," Making Things a Bigger Problem Than They Need To Be, and Getting Present in the Mental Center [SO/SP 6w7 612].

Emma is an Enneagram coach and mom, and she has her own podcast called There Are No Tangents. In this conversation, you get to see Emma model presence in the mental center as she incorporates a new insight about herself with rather amazing openness. Her self-owns about accommodating people resentfully and "throwing a stink" are charming and helpful distinctions regarding 6s duality of being both an Attachment and a Reactive Type. A pleasure of an interview. Enjoy.
