In part two of this two-part episode of Delusional Optimism, Dr. B and Seth Creekmore continue their conversation with Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, known as the “Patient Doctor.” Dr. Jerome talks about how the Enneagram intersects with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). He discusses the concept of neuroplasticity and the three intelligence sensors that correlate with most everyday life.
“If you understand what triggers you, then you start to understand what motivates you, not only what you’re trying to pursue, but what you’re trying to avoid.” - Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe [21:18]
“The trauma isn’t me. It is an experience. I’m having it. So how long can I manage it before it becomes a trauma or before I’m done and I’m out and I’m over it.” - Dr. B [30:04]
