Lessons About Suicidality from Enneagram 6, Chris Morris

  • Summary

  • Did you know that suicide is one the leading causes of death in the United States? According to the CDC, “In 2022, an estimated 13.2 million adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.8 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.6 million attempted suicide.”

    Today on Typology, Enneagram 6, Chris Morris, joins us for an important and vulnerable conversation about his new book “Resilient and Redeemed: Lessons About Suicidality from the Psych Ward.” We discuss his experiences as an Enneagram Six, the impact of trauma on personality, and his journey through mental health challenges, including a suicide attempt.

    Throughout this impactful conversation, Chris discloses his insights on trust, relationships, and the courage it takes to be vulnerable, especially in writing about personal struggles with depression and suicidality.

    We candidly explore:

    • the intersection of faith and mental health, addressing common myths within church communities that can negatively impact mental health

    • the importance of transparency about mental health struggles

    • the church's role in supporting individuals with mental health conditions, and the need for inclusive communities

    • biblical examples of mental health struggles, highlighting the importance of seeking help and the belief that healing is possible

    If you, or someone you know, are struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm, I urge to seek help. It’s vital to speak aloud the darkness you are internalizing and experiencing, and to surrender yourself into the hands of people right away before overwhelm feels irreversible. Please reach out to someone you trust or contact the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. They are available online or dial or text 988 from your phone.
