Hey everyone! 👋 I'm interested in understanding more about the Enneagram Type 7 with a 6 wing (7w6). This seems like a personality type that thrives on stimulation and is driven by a strong desire to avoid pain. 🌈☁️ For the 7w6 folks out there, could you share what your daily life looks like and how your type impacts your thoughts, feelings, and actions? 🤔 Moreover, what strengths and challenges have you noticed that are specific to being a 7w6? Any tips on how to foster personal growth within this type? Lastly, could anyone recommend any books, podcasts or other resources that deeply discuss this specific enneagram type? 📚🎧 Thanks in advance for your insight! 🙏😊
