Stress: The 5 Personality Patterns
CJ Liu interviews Steven Kessler on his book “The 5 Personality Patterns”, which outline five ways in which we react to stress (leaving, merging, enduring, aggressive, rigid). Steven covers when and how we developed these strategies, the strengths of these strategies, how you can spot your own strategy, and how to heal yourself from your pattern. Plus, learn about the origins of this work (Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, John Pierrakos).
More on Author Steven Kessler
Steven Kessler began college by studying physics at MIT. But he soon found that physics could never comprehend the human heart and spirit, so he transferred to acting school at Boston University, looking for something in our emotional life that was more real. After getting his BA in Acting and spending four years as an actor and lighting designer in the New England Repertory Theatre, Steven turned to metaphysics to open the doors to a deeper exploration of our human experience.
For over 30 years he has pursued various spiritual and meditation practices, including 16 years in the Diamond Heart meditation school. For over 10 years, he has been a student of Lynda Caesara, studying Character Structure, the direct perception of energy, and shamanism in the lineage of Grandfather Two Bears and the Southern Seers tradition.
Since 1984 Steven has taught hundreds of groups and workshops in the US and internationally, helping men and women heal their wounds and grow into their full adult selves.
