Hi everyone! I've never been on a 'type' forum before, but I have a question about how to help my lovely 15 year old 6w7/ISFJ daughter when I'm a 9w8/INFJ mom.
I'm also a counselor (Holistic Life Coach) so I help a lot of other people (S's and N's) as well as my other family members, that all happen to be N's of different varieties.
My daughter is the only S in the house! We have a close relationship, but she needs some help processing some issues from the past (childhood stuff/fears), and has asked me to help her work through some of these emotionally charged issues, because she seems to just back down reactively from anything difficult and this frustrates her.
My style is more of a depth approach of course, intuitively going right into the issues to see what they're made of, evaluating them both mentally and emotionally, gaining fresh insight and releasing if desired. I am really good at this, but, it doesn't work well for my daughter. She just gets stuck and I can't seem to help her 'un-freeze' so she can work through these issues. I'm perplexed and am hoping someone here has some insight into to her type as I am very good at adapting my style to help people once I can grasp what they need. I just can't find the key!
I would so appreciate any insight you all may have into my situation
Thank you ~ INFJ9w8mom
