Saboteurs and Guardians: The Dual Nature of TriCenter Expression

Every TriCenter Archetype, like individual Enneagram Types, has the potential to express itself in both helpful and unhelpful ways. How we manifest our TriCenter is influenced by a complex interplay of internal and external factors:

• Psychological makeup: Our innate tendencies and learned behaviors
• Personal history: Including childhood experiences and traumas
• Shadow aspects: Unacknowledged or repressed parts of our psyche
• Current context: The specific situations and people we encounter
• Stress levels: Our emotional and mental state at any given time
• Self-awareness: Our level of consciousness about our patterns and reactions

We refer to the unhelpful expressions of our TriCenter as "TriCenter Saboteurs." These are the patterns, behaviors, and thoughts that hinder our growth, damage our relationships, or prevent us from reaching our full potential. Saboteurs often emerge as defensive mechanisms or habitual responses to stress and challenges.

Conversely, we call the helpful expressions "TriCenter Guardians." These represent the highest potential of our TriCenter, manifesting as positive traits, constructive behaviors, and wisdom that contribute to our personal growth, enhance our relationships, and allow us to make meaningful contributions to the world.

The journey of personal development involves recognizing our Saboteurs, understanding their origins and triggers, and consciously cultivating our Guardians. This process requires self-reflection, mindfulness, and often the support of others, such as coaches, therapists, or trusted friends.

By becoming aware of both our Saboteurs and Guardians, we can learn to navigate life's challenges more effectively, make choices aligned with our authentic selves, and ultimately express the full potential of our TriCenter Archetype in positive and transformative ways.

From Saboteur to Guardian: 

The Visionary Planner's Journey to Reliable Excellence (137 TriCenter)

The interplay of these three centers creates a visionary planner who is principled and improvement-oriented (Gut), success-driven and adaptable (Heart), and innovative and enthusiastic (Head). This unique combination allows the 137 to approach future planning with ethical considerations, a drive for achievement, and boundless creativity, making them exceptionally effective in roles that involve strategic planning, entrepreneurship, or leading innovative projects.

Body/Gut Center : Type 1 - The Reformer

Through the Body/Gut Center via Type 1, the 137 possesses a strong sense of ethics and a drive for improvement. This manifests as a deep-seated conviction about right and wrong, fueling their desire to create a better future. They have an instinctual sense of how things "should be" and work diligently to align their visions with ethical ideals.

Heart Center: Type 3 – The Achiever

The Heart Center via Type 3 infuses the 137 with a drive for success and recognition. This emotional intelligence allows them to adapt to their environment and understand what others value. It's this heart-centered approach that motivates their pursuit of ambitious goals and inspires others to join their visionary projects.

Head Center: Type 7 – The Enthusiast 

The Head Center via Type 7 provides the 137 with a visionary outlook and enthusiasm for possibilities. This mental acuity allows them to see potential futures, generate innovative ideas, and maintain optimism in the face of challenges. It's this cerebral strength that gives breadth to their planning, enabling them to create exciting and far-reaching strategies.

The Shadow Side of The Visionary Planner: Understanding the 137 TriCenter's Saboteurs

The Visionary Planner's Type 1 Saboteur:

The Rigid Idealist

The Type 1's drive for improvement becomes inflexibly idealistic. The 137 may become overly critical of present realities, leading to harsh judgments and an inability to appreciate incremental progress. This can result in frustration and alienation of potential allies.

The Type 3's desire for success becomes all-consuming. The 137 may prioritize grandiose visions over practical implementation, potentially overpromising and under-delivering. They might become more concerned with the appearance of visionary leadership than with genuine impact.

When the 137 TriCenter encounters significant stress, confronts deep-seated fears, or falls into unconscious behavioral patterns, they may manifest less healthy versions of their typically positive traits. These challenging expressions, which we term "Saboteur-led," serve as important indicators of internal struggle and opportunities for profound personal growth:

The Visionary Planner's Type 3 Saboteur:

The Image-Obsessed Dreamer

The Type 7's focus on possibilities turns into a constant chase for the next big idea. Under stress, the 137 may become easily distracted, jumping from one exciting plan to another without seeing things through. This can lead to a trail of unfinished projects and unfulfilled potential.

The Visionary Planner's Type 7 Saboteur:

The Scattered Enthusiast

Combining Type 1's rigidity, Type 3's image-consciousness, and Type 7's scattered enthusiasm, the 137 may become an overly optimistic but impractical visionary. They might push for unrealistic goals, disregard practical limitations, and become frustrated when reality doesn't match their idealistic expectations, potentially leading to burnout and disillusionment.

The Higher Self of The Visionary Planner: Exploring the 137 TriCenter's Guardians 

The Visionary Planner's Type 1 Guardian:

The Ethical Innovator

The Type 1's drive for improvement becomes a source of principled innovation. The 137 develops visions and strategies that are not only ambitious but also ethically sound. They inspire others to consider the moral implications of future-oriented projects and ensure that progress aligns with core values

The Type 3's desire for success transforms into a motivating force for excellence. The 137 leads by example, demonstrating how to balance ambitious goals with integrity and practicality. They inspire others to strive for their best while maintaining ethical standards and realistic expectations.

When the 137 TriCenter operates from a place of growth and self-awareness, individuals embody the most positive aspects of their type combination. These "Guardian-led" expressions represent The Visionary Planner at their healthiest state, accessing deep inner wisdom and harnessing their unique traits to make positive contributions. In this integrated state, the 137 TriCenter becomes a powerful force for ethical innovation, inspiring leadership, and transformative change, benefiting both themselves and those around them:

The Visionary Planner's Type 3 Guardian: 

The Inspiring Achiever 

The Type 7's focus on possibilities becomes a source of infectious enthusiasm and creative problem-solving. The 137 brings a sense of excitement and opportunity to long-term planning. They help others see beyond current limitations and envision positive futures, while also developing practical steps to achieve these visions.

The Visionary Planner's Type 7 Guardian:

The Optimistic Strategist

Combining Type 1's ethical standards, Type 3's drive for achievement, and Type 7's innovative thinking, the 137 becomes a powerful force for positive change through visionary planning. They approach challenges with a unique blend of moral consideration, practical ambition, and creative enthusiasm. This integrated approach allows them to create ethically sound, inspiring, and achievable visions for the future that not only drive progress but also foster a sense of purpose and excitement within organizations and communities.
