Enneagram 2.0 with Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes

This week, due to our retreats happening on full speed, we're reposting one of our #BestOF2025 episodes!

In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological layers of the Enneagram’s three instincts: Self-Preservation, Social, and Sexual. We explore the profound influence of parenting dynamics on the dominant instinct, uncovering how caregivers shape our instinctual survival strategies.

How does a parent’s role reinforce or distort an instinct’s expression? Why do some of us become hyper-independent while others seek belonging at all costs? And what happens when our core needs feel unmet?
Join us as Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes bridge the wisdom of the Enneagram with psychological inquiry.

Today, Uranio Paes speaks about fixations in the Enneagram and deepens the understanding of this essential concept for self-development. In this episode, he explains that fixations are limiting beliefs of the mental center, which arise from the loss of contact with higher ideas and shape the way we think, perceive, and interpret reality.

Urânio shows how each type builds an identity based on these fixations, creating biases, obsessions, and patterns that restrict awareness. He also presents how recognizing and working through these structures is fundamental to breaking identification with the ego and accessing higher levels of perception and presence.
