Every person is an individual, as is every personality profile. If the MB had any value we could easily identify every serial killer in history by just looking for people who had matching personality strings with Ted Bundy. I spent years specialising in adults who were sexually abused as children. I could break down percentages of personality shifts and outcomes based purely on the age of the first instance and I would never have helped a single person. When a woman tells me she has been depressed as long as she can remember and thinks she was born depressed I clarify that we are born without motion firstly. Then I ask how far back she can remember. Depression is a tendril of anxiety so I need an idea of the age bracket and the trigger event. If think any person can ever put that into a basic platform name them. This is an extremely exacting science based purely on instinct. No mathematical formula or sequence can be applied to an individual, as any outcome is based on the random sequence of events and reactions. If you are sceptical about real clinical psychology you should study the impressions of the system through the eyes of the industry. Google Meyer-Briggs and see what the professors and practitioners say about it. I'm far from alone in condemning it.

Ok. I thought it was created for the workplace to identify an employees strengths. I do believe in psychology.

I also believe babies in the womb have emotions. :grinning:

Yes. Strokes do that to a person. I once wrote and negotiated multi million dollar contracts for the State. I seriously doubt I could ever get that involved in any such endeavor now.

A foetus can absorb input in-utero as it is developing, but it is free of the constraints of emotion as that requires the development of a personality complex. Regardless of the intention of MB as a platform, platform for individuals is an oxymoron. As far as I'm concerned INFJ means you're in an old Holden car.

But are you still Stubeedoo? You come across on Mingle as one of the best guys. Real people know suffering and accept each other as they are.
Btw, sorry to hear that Stu :sunflower:

Not particularly romantic, but we're talking about the science of the brain. It's like playing darts blindfolded a lot of the time, but I cannot think of anything in my life that was more rewarding. Stubs, most effects of strokes are irreversible as you no doubt know by now, so power to you friend.

I am sorry Glen, I was being facetious. I actually do believe what you say.
May I ask your advice on someone I know who was sexually abused from 7-9 and now suffers blackouts?

The blackouts are quite common. During an anxiety attack the metabolic rate increases drastically. If a panic attack then occurs they will black out completely. They need a memory from their past where there was no fear or anxiety. Make that the safe zone. At the onset of an attack their stomach feels strange, they experience accelerated heart rate and a shortness of breath. They need to identify the pre-cursory signs which can be as subtle as reduced vision, sit down, close their eyes and go to the safe place. They need the memory to be so sharp that they can smell, feel and hear the memory.

Glen, what if there never was a safe place ever? What do they do then? Create an imaginary safe place? I understand the brain does not know the difference between real memories and visualization. The brain thinks both are real.
Thank you for your time :sunflower:

I'm probably more Stubeedoo because of it... whatever that is.

No problem about time. It's an artificial constraint after all. Give them a safe memory. Take them to a calming place, help them relax and feel at ease. The coaching for that is complicated and takes time but wing it. As the system could be used against a person I wouldn't publicly post it, but you can message me for more in-depth instructions. Always make absolutely certain that the memory is fixed to a place not a person. That is vital.

Yup. I got very ill at 25 years of age and it stopped me in my tracks. Fibromyalgia. I went from highly intelligent and a leader to not even being able to think properly, with some amnesia. In hindsight, it was the best thing to happen to me. It made me think about everything and put life in perspective. Where was I was heading, what were my priorities? .
Life huh?

Yep.. it stopped me dead in my tracks. I was never the person I was after it and two years after it happened, my marriage of 12 years and job of 23 were over and I eventually had to file for disability. I spent 4 years trying to find another job I could do. I just couldn't seem to deal with the general public or people in general anymore. I've become somewhat of a recluse now and only deal with a very few people one to one now.
