In this episode of “Shrink This,” Lisa drags the Enneagram out of BuzzFeed hell and back into its rightful place: at the top of the list of the most helpful tools for self-awareness. Joined by Nick and a surprise producer swap, she breaks down what your “type” actually means—and why using it as an excuse to be unbearable is a cop-out. Discussing every type from flaky 7s to bossy 8s and conflict-avoiding 9s, Lisa shows how every personality has red flags, growth paths, and zero permission to stay stuck. If you’ve ever said, “That’s just how I am,” this episode is your wake-up call.
