So, let’s build one ourselves. When we work together, you will learn how to appreciate your personality type for what it is - rare, necessary for this world, and the healer you have always needed.

Look; I am so good at this because this is my personality type, too!

I personally am an introvert, but my percentage is like 60% introvert, so I love being with my friends but I can get overwhelmed and tired, FAST. I also don’t mind groups like concerts, a dinner with more than 4 friends has a time limit and then I need to be a hermit for a few days.

As an Intuitive person, I accept information from my gut as just as legit and real as data in front of me. If I have a gut feeling about something, I’m probably gonna say, “Idk guys, my intuition says something is up.” Intuitive people tend to be the people who are like, “I felt a disturbance in the force” or “I just knew I had to leave the restaurant” and then find out later there was a car that drove into the front of the building. How would you have known that? Your gut told you.

As a Feeling person, I am able to make decisions based off of that gut feeling. This kind of flows seamlessly from the intuitive place. Some people can hear their intuition, but they won’t move on it until they have data to prove it. A feeling person says, “Sure, I want data, but I’m okay choosing this for now and I’ll check the data as I go or after.” Even if all the “data facts and figures” might not exactly line up, I can still make a choice, or, at least know what I want.

I am like, physically unable to relax if I have to make a choice that goes against my values. It creates a sensation in my body that makes me feel nauseated, even if I know it has to be done. If I had a housewives tag line, it would be, “But what about the humanity piece?” My dad loves to say, “Meg, that’s the way the world is” and I say, “That’s not good enough. We can’t stay like this.”

As a Perceiving person, your life looks different. You probably struggle with consistently following through on things, and want to follow where the wind takes you.  I tell my mom - to live a normal life would be a slow and boring death. And yet, everyone around you is frequently asking, “Why can’t you just do (Insert daily activity bullshit here). Life that is too structured feels suffocating. It needs to have some spontaneity and flexibility, or else it’s just another form of the same cage you’ve been told to dance in. Hard pass.

In therapy, you will learn how to honor these tendencies. How to build a life that allows you to walk away from a bad gut feeling, and deal with any fall out. How to get the spontaneity and the structure to pay your bills, without feeling dead inside.
