Finding out about the structure of Type 3, The Performer or Achiever

The impetus for this year’s topic of how the type forms and keeps being repeated has come from newly published work by Dr Dan Siegel and the PDP (Patterns of Developmental Pathways) Group, so we'll be covering their hypothesis and checking it out with real people. We’ll also look at how each of the types is organised internally; how their underlying belief creates a motivation, which brings about a habit of emotion and of mind, which leads to a focus of attention, idealisation and avoidance. This is all held in place by the Defence Mechanism. We’ll explore the gifts and the challenges for people with this type pattern and for the people in their lives.

Type 3 children came to believe that one has to be a ‘do-er’, performing well and achieving in order to be loved. They drive themselves very hard to succeed and win, so as to gain recognition and status and this means putting their feelings on hold. Their Emotional Habit of Deceit speaks to the way they deceive themselves that they can do everything and succeed at everything.

We will hear from a panel of people who recognise they have this type pattern, finding out how they came to believe that this was how they had to be; the gifts that it brings and how they are working on their path towards Veracity.

If you have Type 3 patterns, we'd love to hear from you about what it's really like! Please let Rosemary know. And Thank You!
