Thank you for sharing your experience with trauma Sarah. I believe many of us share this experience and are trying to heal it. Love and light!
Okay…make me so happy Carol said a**hole!!! 🙂 Love it!
I was being gentle! I’m just glad a few of my other favorite curse words didn’t come out!!
The beauty of the curse word!!!
I laughed so hard at your type 3 moment road rage!!! I would so do that too. 🙂 I’ve been doing your tapping for abundance/I can afford it stuff for awhile now and I finally allowed myself a year of Lifestyle! I’m so excited! My wonderful husband has 3 out of 4 of our kids today (he does it once a week!) to give me a break so I probably won’t do much else other than watch DYT! OH and thank you so much for gifting us with all 4 types now and everything else you do. You have changed our lives to one of hope and abundance…
THANK YOU!
Carol and Sarah, I am doing back flips after watching this! Holy cow. Best explanation of my fibro…EVER!! Knew I was a T3 originally and bought the T3 course…then got scared, returned it months ago, & defaulted to T1. Have been naughty tho by still gravitating to T3 things, including the glasses I just purchased…so T3 (see my funny True Confession post on DYT1 FB). My home is all T3. Everything about T3 makes me feel alive, -always has. I was shamed and defaulted to my secondary “2”. I ended up taking a stab at T1, because, well, it was a higher movement than the 2, but I was still avoiding T3. Fibro has haunted me for years, even tho I am such an active (and reactive) mover and shaker. Carol, man oh man, I devoured the insight and healing advice. You don’t truly know how my heart is literally feeling like pop rocks of explosion within me. Thank you! Will see you with my Victoria in Orlando. On my list of things to do now….get this hair of mine right and stop silencing the wild curl that I have tried to hide since my awkward teenage years. The work you do is out of this world. Last unbelievable thing….Carol, I have a jacket just like yours. Bought it a few weeks ago and didn’t care if it was right or wrong, felt a bit ashamed of it, but felt like dynamite when wearing it. Ha….my beauty 6th sense was right, -as well as my mix matched pjs, complete with T shirt with graphics. WOW
Rock on Heather – see you in Orlando!
Haha!! Keep breaking down those to-do’s to give yourself all kinds of “results” credit!
I some ongoing health problems, and I often do something similar: I need to take care of 5 things in each room I enter. I threw away a napkin, check; I put away a dish, check. I also love using the Carrot app b/c I can put in the most mundane of tasks and get credit for doing them.
I LOVE how Carol’s secondary 4 came out in her comment “Well its not like I have another choice. Love yourself or not – it is what it is.” Oh my goodness, Carol, I think you just helped me confirm my S4!!!! I say “it is what it is” all the time. In my mind, so many things are black and white that others don’t see that way! For a while I thought I must be S2 because I can “feel” the feelings of others and I am so interested in all aspects of compassion, kindness, etc. But what I think is actually happening is that my energy is so push forward, black and white that I have recognized the need to “learn” the ways of a 2! It is of such a benefit to help me be a better mother, teacher, wife, etc that I thought I must be a S2 when really learning to add more 2 is what I figured out from analyzing! Hysterical really! I can’t even explain how freeing it is right now!! (Side note: I am not making this decision solely on your comment…your comment solidified it for me!)
I couldn’t help thinking about the individual who mentioned no compliments were coming her way…the comments people have given me my whole life were what helped me type myself…determined was one of the most common adjectives people would use (and not necessarily in a complimentary way!). Sometimes people notice actions vs looks – listen to how others are describing you at work or how siblings might describe you. Here’s a good example: My mom went to my 3rd grade parent teacher conference and the teacher, hoping to get my mom to recognize her struggle with me stated “she is very willful you know” to which my very wise mother said “thank you”. The teacher was not saying it in a complimentary way, but my mom, knowing my nature (or at least appreciating this part of my nature) helped her see that it really could be a good thing if looking through the right lens. I think this is what Sarah and Carol were trying to say. Instead of looking for “you look nice today” recognize the other things that make being a T3 great (even if its not great to everyone else!).
Loved the story about the road rage, Carol. I would do EXACTLY that! I am curious, though – would a t4 do this?
That is really a great point that there are type 3s with all secondaries at DYT (Anna Kay 3/1, Sarah 3/2, Carol 3/4). Its really helpful to see all the different versions of type 3.
Is it possible that you could do that with the other types? In type 4 there are Kalista and Sheryl (4/1) and Deborah (4/3). In type 2 there are Anne and Michelle (2/3). In type 1 there are Jaleah and Marcy (1/4) Sorry if I’ve missed anyone out, but are there any 1/2s, 1/3s, 2/1s, 2/4s and 4/2s who can present videos as well? Just so we can see the differences, as we can with the type 3 presenters.
So sorry to hear of Sarah’s traumatic family events. I can relate. My dad died when I was 13 and my grandmother a few months later. I reacted exactly the same as Sarah- worried that everyone around me would die and getting very anxious. I still ask my husband to text that he’s safe whenever he goes to work or anywhere and I do the same if I go anywhere. Counselling wasn’t available for children back in those days (the 1980s) so I never had it.
I’m so grateful to have found this information! I just discovered DYT completely by accident via Pinterest on Friday night, stayed up til 3am watching videos here, bought the course on Saturday morning. I thought I was a 2, of course — in fact, when i saw the Pinterest post, it was someone’s T2 blog. And so I was all, “I bet I’m a 2. Fine. I’m not a 1, I could be a 4, but I’m a “Summer,” so forget about 3 and just move along. Go be a hippie already…” So when I watched one of the videos about not knowing your type, and Carol was identifying the angular, asymmetrical facial features and angular crooked teeth of the woman, all of a sudden, I was hit with this SURGE of knowing, and almost yelled (but it was 2am) “HELLO MY PEOPLE!!” I mean, when my husband and I started dating, he affectionately called me his “little bossy know-it-all.” I own my own yoga studio (see, I’m an entrepreneur, and it’s a HOT yoga studio, strong and powerful, not soft and soothing), and I joke with my staff that I have created a safe space for bossy know-it-alls, because several of them are, too. As a child, I wasn’t rambunctious, but I did get in terrible trouble in the 5th grade for telling the teacher what to do. I’ve just been in charge my whole life, that’s all. So in trying to determine my secondary, I don’t know if I’m actually a 3/2, or if I just want to be because it feels more socially acceptable. Am I really more like Sarah (my mother wanted to name me Sarah!), more soft and gentle, or am I more like Carol, stronger and more dominant, and I’m not comfortable with my power yet? I loved your answer — “Just be a 3. Don’t worry about it. Just be a 3.” So I’m skipping the secondary for now. I’m just a 3. I’m a very grateful, happy 3.
Welcome Rebecca!
