| FALSIFICATION OF TYPE. Have you been living a lie in order to survive? Maybe you've become the person you need to be, rather than the person you really are. |
| TIME. How long since you last lived "normally"? Weeks, months, years? Should we expect to return to those times? Anybody who's been zapped by life wants things to be "normal" again. But how can you build a new life If you're still trying to live the old one? |
| Is "falsifying type" about deception? Absolutely not. It's about becoming the type of person who can survive in your environment. For example, if the family (or employer) doesn't respect your traits, you might adopt other traits in order to fit in. We used to call it "fake it till you make it." But faking it for too long can mess you up. There comes a time to arrange a life more in line with your real self. |
