Emotional Maturity

In this reflection I consider my emotional maturity as relating to new information. Supporting themes: Emotional denial; Mapping vs pairing of MBTI and the Enneagram; Nature vs nurture; Genetics; Birth order; Paternal vs maternal care; Baby mama drama; A season of heart work; The intersections of instinct and emotions (as a rational being); Cognitive, social, emotional and romantic orientations; Trust and safety; Vulnerability: Experiencing trauma and the storage of trauma. This reflection was influenced in part by 1) Dr. Beatrice Chestnut ("The Complete Enneagram"); 2) Pastor Tom ( "Type Eight Checklist" on YouTube); and 3) Personality Path ("How Each Type Experiences the Core Three Emotions "). Typology: INTJ8; Three Intelligent Centers of the Enneagram and their core emotions.
