Our Next Workshop:
Virginia (Gina) Thomas, PhD
How To Be Alone: Solitude During a Pandemic
Saturday, February 27th, 2021
9:00am-12:00pm PST
Choosing to be alone generally makes an experience of solitude enjoyable. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us to be alone far longer than we’re used to. For others, the irony is that lockdowns have eliminated opportunities to be alone, as some of us are now “trapped” in close quarters with the people we live with. How can we successfully navigate this unique time and meet our competing needs for time alone and time with others?
Join this workshop to learn about psychological research that outlines the skills people use to engage in positive solitude, defined as time spent alone that is rich in meaning and enjoyment. The workshop will include discussion around the experiences, opportunities, and challenges we each have when it comes to being alone, and we’ll explore how Type may be shaping our attitudes and behaviors around spending time by ourselves.

Type and Body Language
Saturday, March 27th, 2021
9:00am-12:00pm PST
To see ourselves as others see us: This is the great gift of psychological type. Now, the wealth of videos available on the internet have made psychological type more visible than ever. In one of her most popular presentations, Carol uses videos to show participants how each type presents to others, as well as how to spot type clues at a glance. When we know how others view our type, our presentation style naturally moderates without effort. When we know how other types present, we can begin to distinguish between psychological type and character, which gives us a better radar for lies and manipulative tactics.
Although we develop many of our opposite sides as we mature, the physical manifestations of type tend not to change as we mature. Therefore, paying attention to facial expressions, bodily movement, and speech patterns can help us identify an individual's earliest and most natural preferences, regardless of the reported type. Carol has correlated body language with the E/I scale, the J/P scale, and the eight Jungian functions (Si, Se, Ni, Ne, etc.) in a process she developed to teach her students to assess themselves and others. She uses videos of young people who are still exploring their personalities, so their type characteristics are exaggerated. These videos will have participants laughing at themselves and their type tribes, as they spot the clues to type with the aid of a proprietary handout drawn from Carol’s new book, Projection and Personality Development via the Eight-Function Model (Routledge 2021). Participants will also have the opportunity to share their own tips and tricks for recognizing type.
Note: Not all 16 types can be presented in the time allotted, so the presentation will be limited to the types of the first dozen individuals to register, unless there is time for more. However, Carol will take requests if they are made ahead of time. Also note that some but not all of these videos were shown in February 2020 at a presentation for the San Diego APT.
Carol Shumate, PhD (ENFP), teaches the course “Psychological Types” at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where she uses film and video to help students assess their own types. She is a founding editor of the journal Personality Type in Depth, https://typeindepth.com/authors/carol-shumate/ whose mission is to bridge psychological type and depth psychology. Her book Projection and Personality Development via the Eight-Function Model (Routledge 2021) shows how John Beebe’s eight-function/eight-archetype model of personality type can be used to provide a trajectory of development for each of the sixteen Myers-Briggs® types.

Eve Delunas, Ph.D. Survival Strategies of the Four Temperaments During Stressful Times January 23rd, 2021 9am-12pm PT During times like the ones we are currently living, it can be helpful to recognize the different ways each of the four temperaments cope with extreme stress. In this program, we will review the range of survival strategies that Improvisers (SPs), Stabilizers (SJs), Theorists (NTs), and Catalysts (NFs) use when life feels overwhelming and there appears to be no relief on the immediate horizon. Come learn how and why individuals may turn to Blackmail, Complain, Avoidance, and Masquerade, and what we can do to help those who are in the "survival mode." Dr. Eve Delunas has over 40 years of experience in using the temperament model in clinical and organizational settings. She is the author of Survival Games Personalities Play, which describes how to use the temperament model to design and implement effective mental health treatment interventions. Her latest book is New Science, New Brain, New You—a do-it-yourself guidebook for clearing subconscious limiting beliefs and igniting your goals. Currently, Eve offers classes and individual sessions to identify and dissolve subconscious limiting beliefs, increase self-love, awaken intuition, and attract greater abundance of every kind.
