Are you a type D personality? If so – it’s not a good thing...
Type A and B personalities are pretty well defined – but what about those type Ds? A type D personality can have a serious cause for concern. The D stands for distress - and some people are chronically in it. Psychologist Johan Denollet describes a type D personality as Eeyore – the sad, self-conscious donkey in Winnie-the-Pooh. Type D personality traits include social inhibition, negative self-image, depressed mood, anger and hostility. Type Ds also tend to have poor health habits and avoid medical checkups.
If you or someone you know is a type D, then it’s time to seek professional help. Techniques such as guided imagery, meditation and yoga have been found to be pretty effective for managing mood, stress and hostility in type D personalities.
