I attended an e-workshop presented by the eChapter of APTI. The workshop was lead by Lynda Trommelen, who spoke about how Type affects response to change/loss and how to use the insights of Type to assist folks adjusting to change/loss.
One of the charts that Lynda presented originated with Recovery from Loss: A Personalized Guide to the Grieving Process, by Tagliaferre and Harbaugh, who suggested that the function order affects how we work through change. After redrawing the chart, I realized I was fixated on the attitudes of the functions, not on the functions themselves. Once I cleared this hurdle, it all made much more sense. Upon reflection, I realized that I did step through change in the suggested order, as did those family members whose Types had been verified.
As for me, I also admit I will get hung up during the process and need a kick in a direction — it would be nice to know which way I need to boot myself along. This chart suggests a path for getting unstuck.
