Shownotes

In this episode of The Enneagram in a Movie podcast, Mario Sikora, TJ Ingrassia and TJ Dawe explore the 1985 film, Witness, starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis, through the lens of the Preserving One subtype. They examine how John Book, played by Ford, embodies the deep tension between duty and desire. The three hosts dissect the film's themes of repression, moral rigidity and the carefully controlled outlets ones use to manage internal conflict. They also deep dive into how restraint becomes both a strength and a prison.
