Strengthening your temperament
Strengthening your temperament
Every temperament that I work with except the Phlegmatic has one thing in common, they all have trouble with rejection. I realize that rejection isn’t something that we look forward to, but it happens to most of us every day. Rejection will weaken our temperaments in various ways. For example, The Sanguine is full of the spices of life, and they can spread themselves over a crowd and bring sunshine to the entire room…but if they are rejected they will “swing” down into a place where they cannot function at all. When a Melancholy is rejected they will more into a “dark” or “Black mood” where they can stay for days, weeks, months and typically even years. Most of the Temperaments and blends of temperaments follow a similar path when rejected.
Being a Christian Therapist I use the Bible exclusively as my guide to wholeness and I have NEVER seen it fail. Each temperament responds to acceptance differently, so a steady diet of The Word of God is important. How each temperament responds to acceptance differently…some have difficulty even believing that God accepts them, so knowing what your unique God-given temperament is will be the starting point for your journey.
