— (10:26) Emeka’s overview of often overlooked aspects of the 8 type structure
— (15:22) 8 is dissociating to reject and stay separate but involved by embodying the protecting function
— (19:40) 8s are separate and expansive in ways that dehumanizes themselves and others
— (23:18) 8 control is about setting boundaries and terms of engagement, not telling people what to do or being angry
— (28:48) 6 and 9 superego’s trying to make type 8 into a good person with ‘protecting the underdog’. And what 8’s are really protective of
— (40:53) The 8 journey is about learning to care about and make room for people and their humanity. How 8s can be so involved yet cut off
— (51:33) 8s apologizing and experiencing remorse as a powerful tool for growth
— (53:40) Real 8s are far less attached or invested in identifying with type as a badge of identity
— (58:20) How to distinguish someone who has an 8 fix vs 1 or 9 fixers
