We’re creating a new video, Seeing Past Your Past.
It’s not always easy to determine your Dyadic type. Social conditions and personal circumstance can get in the way. If you know that has happened, however, you can make allowances and find your true type.
Our video Seeing Past Your Past will help you see if your personal history may have given you a false impression of your type. It will explore the effects of modern society and emotional trauma, to help you figure out your true type.
Has our society stifled your type?
Modern society can stifle the development and expression of your true type. Within its impersonal bureaucracies, some types aren’t often recognized or valued. Worse, they can be stifled and stigmatized. Here’s an example from the classic movie The Apartment:
The elevator operator is a Dancing Fox with wonderful gifts of empathy and love, but she’s seen by others—and herself—only in the light of her pedestrian job role, as a small pretty cog in a large corporate machine. Other, similar examples are used in the video.
One of them is a boy who found it difficult to sit quietly for hours in school, who was mistakenly diagnosed as “ADHD” and drugged to “correct his condition.” Consequently, he now sees himself as defective, instead of as a normal Fighting Wolf. This video uses such examples to show how you can acquire a false impression of who you really are.
Has trauma obscured your type?
To cope with the pain of trauma, people can cut themselves off from their core characteristics. Here are two examples:
- You’re a Hunting Fox who attracts attention, and one day it came in a hurtful form. To keep that from happening again, you toned down the strong, vibrant energy that’s a big part of you.
- You’re a Hunting Hawk who was adopted into a family of Wolves and Foxes. Your parents and siblings saw your innate focus and drive as heartless and strange. You felt alienated, and lost touch with your natural hunting instincts.
Trauma isn’t always caused by a single terrible event. It can come from emotional neglect, cumulative stress, or personal loss. If you suffer from unresolved trauma, it may obscure your real type. This video shows you how to determine if that’s the case with you, and if so, get past it to see the type of person you were born to be.
