Personality

  • Created in Health & Wellness, Wellness Perspectives, Physical

Healthy people express themselves consistent with their personality types, so there is a wide spectrum of normal behaviors that could contribute to achieving wellness.

The technical end of wellness psychology encourages normal responses to the challenges of life, rather than just treating mental and emotional conditions. Understanding the concept of personality makes this approach clearer. For example, people tend to have patterns of behavior, some of which work better than others, but the patterns usually persist until they are broken or replaced. Noticing these patterns and evaluating them to see if they are constructive or destructive, and shifting the patterns accordingly, make wellness more accessible.

There are many ways to group or evaluate personality types. People tend to favor one of the three major ways the brain processes - visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), and kinesthetic (feeling), and each group has common patterns of behavior. Or, you can divide people by personality style, such as: drivers, expressives, analyticals, and amiables. You can notice typical behaviors, known as metaprograms, such as moving toward benefits or moving away from consequences, or having an internal or external frame of reference. There are more technical systems of personality also, like Myers-Briggs or the enneagram, which offer a deeper understanding of personality and can help create a pathway to personal growth.

Why is personality important? Healthy people express themselves consistent with their personality types, and those types vary greatly, so there is a wide spectrum of normal behaviors that could be considered well behaviors. Knowing yourself, and understanding others you have a relationship with, can give you insight into the unique nature of your personality. You can also understand the likely patterns of health, so you can choose the actions that support wellness for someone of your personality type. Patterns of personality also provide clues for wellness professionals to intervene in a way that is custom-tailored for the needs of each individual. This guides the person toward a well state and even amplifys their health, wellness, and peak performance through personalized wellness counseling.

  • "Dr. Brien and his staff are wonderful. As a patient for 10+ years, they have treated me for several ailments. Dr. Brien treats me like family and has always had genuine concern for my well being. I have referred and will continue to refer my family and friends."
    Jamie Mayeaux - Fitness Instructor
  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Brien for several years now. I wasn't a firm believer in chiropractic care but after many years of suffering with a recurring back problem and 'traditional methods' of care leaving me with only brief periods of relief, I made the decision to give Dr. Brien a try. I noticed a difference right away. Dr. Brien put my concerns at ease with the first visit. The brief periods of relief I was accustomed to receiving from traditional methods, were now replaced with extended periods of relief without the use of medications. I can't put into words how much I appreciate the efforts of Dr. Brien and his staff."
    John Gros - Operator
  • "Massage therapy has improved the quality of my life tremendously. Riki knows my needs and applies the appropriate therapy to decrease my back pains and headaches. Her personalized care makes me feel like I am her most important patient. If you want individualized care, Brien Chiropractic Clinic can meet your needs."
    Tresa Webre - Assistant Superintendent
  • "Before receiving treatments, I suffered from tension headaches multiple times a month. There would even be times where the headaches were weekly. With a combination of treatment from Dr. Brien and the wonderful staff at the clinic, my "headache horror" is fully under control."
    Jessica Thomas - Teacher
