leap or slide

EnneaThought® for the Day

Type Five EnneaThought® for December 21st

The personality types corresponding to Karen Horney’s Withdrawn strategy are the Four, Five, and Nine. […Being present] goes against the grain for these three types who would generally prefer to distance themselves physically and/or mentally and emotionally.
