GOOD QUESTION IS GOOD I’VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING ON THIS IN MY PERSONAL LIFE SO THIS WILL BE GOOD PRACTICE FOR ME

I don’t claim to be a particularly healthy person, so I’ve spent a lot of time in Disintegration 2 Hell. Integration into a 1 is something I have less experience with, for obvious reasons.

Integrating into a 1 is all about maintaining some degree of control and organization of a 4′s naturally chaotic state. One thing that’s interesting to me (and I was actually in the middle of making a post about this when I received this anon) is how self-help advice for 4s STRONGLY aligns with techniques used in DBT, a type of therapy used for those with BPD.

4s are hyper-aware of their emotions, and have a much harder time ignoring them. We’re so absorbed in whatever feeling(s) we have in one particular moment, that we have a  hard time even considering how we felt earlier in the day, or how we might feel later. As a result, we’ll sometimes act impulsively, only to forget we were ever upset at all a few hours later. (thus, the high correlation with BPD)

This both bewilders and annoys my INTJ 9. I’ll be irritated with him and send a snarky text. I forget, stumble upon a meme he NEEDS to see and send it to him before he’s even opened the original text. AND THEN even later in the day, I may suddenly remember what a great and wonderful person I think he is and send him an affectionate text. All the while, he’s busy at work or whatever and hasn’t even had the chance to look at his phone.

In my personal experience, integration into a 1 is all about creating an internal guideline of when, where, and how to appropriately express my emotions. Some rules I’ve made for myself:

-feelings are NOT permanent. It may hurt, but do NOT act until you’ve calmed down (basically DBT 101, and its much harder than it sounds)

-Just because you feel something doesn’t make it true. If I feel like a friend is being shady, that doesn’t mean they’re leaving me. I’m taking their behavior out of context and making it about myself. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS ONE WILL HELP PREVENT FUTURE DISINTEGRATION INTO A 2

-don’t be so self centered. Just because someone can’t drop everything and come running to comfort me over whatever daily crisis I’m experiencing doesn’t mean that they don’t love me. Once again, I’m taking their behavior out of context and making it about myself.

-DO NOT HURT OTHERS JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE HURTING. I haven’t done this in nearly a decade, but I think it’s worth mentioning because I see so many other 4s do it. Even if you’re suffering, you are NOT entitled to hurt another person for revenge. I see this a lot in unhealthy Fi, too. I hate it, you’re a shithead if you do this sort of thing. .

If something is bad enough that it’s seriously interfering with your ability to lead your life relatively normally: stop with the MBTI and go see a therapist or a physician. Examples from some past asks/posts:

If you find it overwhelming to merely be around people for a typical full-time job or school schedule (not interacting with them, just being generally around them) that’s not typical introversion.

If you experience physical pain from sounds that don’t bother others (for example) or touches that’s often a sensory processing issue, not inferior Se.

If you have panic attacks - of any kind - that’s not an MBTI thing and you can get help.

If you’re demotivated, have lost interest in previously enjoyable activities, and feel stuck or hopeless those are all depression symptoms. Don’t waste your time speculating on whether you’re looping.

If you have a serious drinking/drug/binge-eating etc problem in response to stress those can all be addictions or eating disorders, not inferior Se. And if you sometimes drink or stress-eat or seek physical pleasure of some sort for comfort and distraction under stress without doing so to dangerous excess that’s called being a person. You have dopamine receptors. These things make you feel better. Still not necessarily inferior Se.

If you procrastinate even when you genuinely want to do something and feel you can’t focus ever that can be a sign of executive dysfunction, a symptom of depression, ASD, and ADHD.

Constant racing thoughts of worst case scenarios? Stop thinking it’s an Ne grip or type 6; this could be OCD or anxiety.

Lack of environmental awareness, constant daydreaming to the point where you can’t focus, and forgetting things constantly? Also a possible ADHD symptom.

Not feeling any feelings or empathy ever is not low Fe or Fi. It may be a personality disorder or depression.

Inability to process past trauma or the feeling you’re constantly reliving it? PTSD, not Si.

A complete feeling of incapacity to live in the real world or a complete disconnect from the real world (dissociation) is not intuition.

Anything not covered here that’s so severe you feel you can’t control it or live a normal life? Not MBTI or Enneagram.

Self diagnosis can help you stop blaming yourself for behaviors as well as advocate for yourself in the future, but ultimately it should be a step along the path to finding a therapist or doctor once you have the means to do so. And yes there are doctors and therapists who aren’t very good. That means find a new one, not rely on unproven theories online.

enneagram aesthetics: 258; THE STRATEGIST [10/27]

“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.

“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.

when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.

if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.

No? We still see those things? It’d be stupid to think we just go “oh, what do you mean your skin is not the same color? I just don’t see it!”. It’s not that way.

Personally, I do see those things, but I’m always like “why am I supposed to have a specific preconceived opinion about people based on that principle alone?”, because it just doesn’t make any sense lol.

Warning: Long Post(s)

Each of us is unique and endowed with great potential, but we exist in a “waking sleep” because of our early childhood “programming”, so to speak.

In order to know ourselves and evolve in positive ways, we first need to see that we essentially operate in a kind of “waking sleep.” Without conscious effort, we function to a large degree mechanically, according to habitual patterns, as we go about our everyday lives. Our “sleep” is the unexamined belief we all have that we live lives of relatively unlimited freedom, when in fact the opposite is true: we respond in predictable, repetitive ways according to the orders of our early programming, much like uniquely specialized machines. And like machines, we have no conscious understanding of how our existence is limited by our programming. We don’t always understand what we don’t understand and we are limited to the degree that we don’t recognize our limitations.

But how does this habit of falling asleep to ourselves get started? How and why do we come to be this way? Human babies have the longest period of dependency of all mammals, so human children posses inborn, wired-in defense mechanisms that protect them from being overhwhelmed or harmed by psychological or emotional threats.

Over time, early and necessary (sometimes life-saving) defensive maneuvers and coping strategies evolve into patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. These patterns come to operate like “organizing principles”, or beliefs abot how the world works and how we must act in order to survive or thrive. These patterned coping strategies turn into unconscious and automatic “habits” that influence where your attention goes and what adaptive strategies you employ to interact in the world.

This post will help you be aware of these processes, and in turn lead you on the path to greater self-development.

In breakthrough research led by neuroscientist Olaf Blanke and his team at EPFL, Switzerland, the scientists show that phantom body pain can be reduced in paraplegics by creating a bodily illusion with the help of virtual reality. The results are published in today’s printed issue of Neurology.

“We managed to provoke an illusion: the illusion that the subject’s legs were being lightly tapped, when in fact the subject was actually being tapped on the back, above the spinal cord lesion,” explains Blanke, lead author of the study and holder of the Foundation Bertarelli Chair in Cognitive Neuroprosthetics. “When we did this, the subjects also reported that their pain had diminished.”

Paraplegics suffer from no longer feeling their legs, but the condition is often accompanied by neuropathic pain due to the spinal cord lesion. The patient feels pain originating from the legs, even though nothing else can be felt below the lesion. The sensation of pain is real and yet completely resistant to drug therapy. Now, virtual reality may be the key to providing pain relief for this type of pain, and the solution comes from restoring a sense of touch.

“We tapped the back of the subject near the shoulders and the subject experienced the illusion that the tapping originated from the paralyzed legs,” explains Polona Požeg, co-author of the study and now neuroscientist at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV). “This is because the subject also received visual stimuli of dummy legs being tapped, viewed through the virtual reality headset, so the subject saw them immersively as his or her own legs.”

The experimental setup involves a pair of dummy legs, a camera, virtual reality goggles and two rods. The legs are filmed by a camera. In real-time, the video is relayed into virtual reality goggles worn by the paraplegic patient. The subject sees the dummy legs viewed from above, as if looking down on one’s owns legs. With this setup in place, the scientist taps the patient’s back with one rod while simultaneously tapping the dummy legs with the other.

The subject therefore receives two stimuli, one tactile on the back, the other visual from the virutal reality display. Despite being consciously aware of being tapped on the back, the subject still begins to feel as though the tapping comes from the paralyzed legs.

“It takes about a minutes of simultaneously tapping for the illusion to take place,” says Blanke. “The tapping on the back gets translated onto the legs because the visual stimulus dominates over the tactile one.”

The research pushes the limits of how virtual reality can be used to implement conflicting stimuli, with the aim of ultimately manipulating the brain in how it experiences the body for therapeutic reasons.
