Can trauma change your Type? Do depression and anxiety look the same across all 4 Energy Types?

You’ll learn more about these topics in this broadcast of Type Talk, but first, I profile the two main characters from the classic movie, Casablanca:

Ingrid Bergman – Type 3/2
Humphrey Bogart – Type 2/4

Here’s a list of all the questions asked during this event—they’re timestamped so you can easily find them when you rewatch this video in the future!

(8:52) You mentioned every Type needs downtime, not just Type 2 and Type 4. What does downtime look like for all the 4 Types?
(14:24) Can a Type 4 be low contrast in their facial features, such as fair skin and fair hair?
(15:26) Do depression and anxiety affect each Type differently? And can it affect how we Type ourselves?
(20:10) How can I stay true to my Type 4 nature when I’m in a social setting that requires me to be more outgoing?
(21:27) Do you see your secondary Energy Type in your face as well?
(22:56) Can a traumatic incident change your Type, or does your personality change to accommodate the trauma?
(23:30) If you’ve repressed your true Type for a long time, what are physical health issues that show up for each Type as a result?
(27:40) I’m a Type 3 and I get along great with everyone in my office—exept one woman. When I’m around her, I retreat and feel very self-conscious. How do I work on this?
(29:11) Is it beneficial to make ourselves do everything true to Type?
(30:17) I lost my job recently—the atmosphere was smothering. It’s not practical to go back to school for a degree at this point, but I want to work in this field. Help!
(31:32) What do you do when the mind is just “stuck”? You know what you need to do, but you feel blocked?
(32:11) I’m a Type 2 and have gained more than 40 pounds since starting Dressing Your Truth five years ago. Is this connected?
(33:33) I’m a Type 1/2, and I have a hard time staying true to myself. How do I avoid adapting to others to keep them happy?
(35:36) How can you tell when it’s correct to lean into your Type’s natural tendencies and when to be mindful of its challenges?
(37:47) What’s the difference between Type 1 starpoints and Type 3 angles?
(39:02) I have a lot of behaviors that line up with my Type, and a lot that don’t. How do you tell the difference between learned behaviors and those that are natural?
