A practical, soul-centered approach
What is an Emotional Type?
Each of us has four major emotional types. Each one combines a life lesson you’ve mastered with the strategies you’ve learned to get what you need and solve problems.
The lessons you’ve mastered
The major life lessons you’ve lived through and learned from shape how you understand yourself and the world.
The strategies you’ve learned
The ways you’ve learned to get what you need, solve problems, and move through life give each emotional type its distinctive behavior.
Together, an emotional type
These learned lessons and strategies form a distinct emotional and psychological profile, unique to you. Together, they create the substance of your four major emotional types.
Real people. Lasting results.
A clearer sense of yourself.
A stronger foundation for your work.
