A | Awareness

Learn to quickly recognize your Saboteur patterns as they arise in real-time. For SP2s, this accelerated awareness process enables immediate recognition of perfectionist impulses, self-critical thoughts, and rigid behaviors before they lead to purpose paralysis. Unlike traditional approaches, this heightened awareness creates rapid opportunities for change.

R | Reframing

Develop mindful gap-building skills to interrupt automatic Saboteur reactions, while using this pause to consciously reframe the situation. This crucial space between trigger and response allows Preserving 2s to question their perfectionist assumptions and consider alternative perspectives aligned with Guardian Wisdom.

T | Transformation

Access your full Enneagram Matrix of possibilities - a rich tapestry of all nine types including wings, lines of development, Subtype resources and more - to craft new responses aligned with Guardian Wisdom. SP2s learn to channel their drive for improvement into purposeful action while maintaining flexibility and self-compassion.

Through AI-assisted Pi9™ Enneagram courses and coaching, Maria discovered how to transform their Preserving 2 Saboteur patterns into Guardian wisdom. Their innate desire to ensure comfort evolved from compulsive providing into a Purpose Intelligence tool, allowing them to create what they called the 'Sustainable Care Framework' - a balanced approach that honored both others' needs and self-preservation.

Their Guardian wisdom now expressed through Purpose Intelligence in several ways:

Converting compulsive provision into sustainable support
Transforming material caregiving into balanced assistance
Shifting from resource depletion to regenerative help

Team members began experiencing them as a wise resource rather than a depleted provider. Their Guardian wisdom created space for both practical support and personal sustainability, leading to healthy boundaries while maintaining genuine care. Most significantly, Maria's Purpose Intelligence helped them channel their nurturing nature into sustainable impact, no longer carrying the burden of ensuring everyone's physical comfort. Their new Guardian mantra became 'Wisdom guides provision; self-care enables support.

When Purpose Gets Lost in

Preserving 2 Patterns

"As a wellness center director, Maria's Preserving 2 Saboteur had hijacked their natural drive for sustaining others' well-being. Their compulsive need to ensure everyone's physical comfort and practical needs disconnected them from their deeper purpose as a leader.

Team members experienced their 'practical provider mode' as overwhelming, where every interaction centered on physical comfort and material support. Behind this behavior lay a deeper struggle: their Saboteur's inner critic kept them believing that their only value came from ensuring others' material well-being and comfort.

Despite tireless efforts to maintain everyone's practical needs, their purpose-disconnected Saboteur created an unsustainable cycle of resource depletion. Every request required immediate material response, draining their own reserves. Personal sustainability suffered as their constant provision of practical support left no resources for self-preservation.

The final wake-up call came when they faced severe physical burnout - a direct result of their Saboteur's grip on others' comfort over their own basic needs."
