Welcome to Wellness Dynamics

Often, the greatest hindrances to healthy relationships are personality conflicts. Positive individuals, desiring to build good relationships, are often discouraged because of misunderstandings and clashes with others. This section is designed to help you discover why people do what they do under pressure and why you may conflict with others. Life's success principles on how to handle clashes are clear. The problem is many people are aware of their "sensitive spots." Everyone needs to learn more about avoiding and resolving conflicts. Every personality has its "hot button." Everyone can like a "D" when pushed too far. The following are tendencies of personalities as they relate under pressure. Review the following pages with your Behavioral Blends in mind. Read each section to see how you may respond as a specific personality type. Also consider how you may respond differently because of your "hot and cold buttons."

To improve your effectiveness, control your personality and never use it as an excuse for poor behavior!
