Are you feeling discouraged, disheartened or stuck in your life? Take Karol K. Truman's Healing Feelings Questionnaire (her homepage is https://healingfeelings.com) to discover your Core Feelings and how they impact your life.
Karol's book "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" shows you how to use her "Life Script" to heal buried feelings. I cannot recommend her work highly enough. I hope you will look into her book if you have any of the following "symptoms" which are taken verbatim from Karol's book (pp. 131 – 133, revised and expanded 2003 edition). They stem from buried feelings and beliefs in childhood. Unfortunately, they encourage dysfunction, co-dependency, and/or addictions. Please keep in mind that these symptoms are the natural by-product of every person’s early conditioning. Therefore, please refrain from judging or blaming yourself or others. These symptoms can be changed with her Life Script (see her book).
There is a strong correlation between specific symptoms and each Enneagram type. So, once you've determined your Enneagram type (if you don't know your type find out by taking The Enneagram Type Test) see the bottom of this page for potential symptoms for each Enneagram type.
