Running vs. Remaining | Understanding the Enneagram Type Seven with Heather Berg

The Enneagram Seven's instinct is to keep moving. More plans, more options, more yes. Yet underneath it all is a quiet, exhausting belief that if they slow down long enough, something painful will catch up with them.

In this episode, Amy sits down with Heather Berg, a Wholehearted Enneagram Coach, trauma-informed practitioner, and Type Seven, to walk the Victim, Villain, Hero, Guide framework through the Seven's unique lens. Heather brings both her professional training and her own deeply personal story: betrayal trauma, a dark night of the soul, a season of chronic pain that literally stopped her in her tracks, and the retreat moment where Amy looked at her and said, "Heather, do you think you could be a Seven?"  and then something clicked that felt like meeting herself for the first time in years.

This episode is for every Seven who is tired of running and suspects there might be something worth finding if they stopped. It's also for everyone who loves a Seven and wants to understand what's really happening underneath the energy.

In this episode:

• The Seven's victim role, which can look like "monkey" mind, hypervigilance, and the longing to know who will look after me?
• Why Sevens can't outwit, outlast, or outplay pain, but what happens when they finally stop trying
• The villain role: self-abandonment and how the reframing that protects you can also hurt the people closest to you
• Heather's betrayal trauma story and the moment she realized she'd been MIA to her own kids
• Post-traumatic growth and the heart behind Heather's Created to Move coaching practice
• The fastest way to daybreak and why it means running toward the night, not away from it
• Big T, little T, and chronic T trauma, and why you don't have to have a dramatic story to feel lost
• How to love and support the Seven in your life
