Overreacting Enthusiast
They are active in communicating with others, easily establish contact with many people at the same time. In solving problems, they are also enterprising, take the initiative. This adaptation is located in the upper left quarter of the T. Cuyler Evaluation Matrix.
Enthusiasts are empathic - they feel the state of others well. They are sociable, hospitable, they like to please others and make people around them happy, expecting the same response in relation to themselves. However, it happens that an Enthusiast, showing concern for others, forgets about his needs and desires, thereby risking pleasing another to the detriment of himself. His behavior is so sincerely caring that others take it for granted without showing an equivalent response, which greatly upsets and hurts the Enthusiast. They love attention very much, often equating it with love. They perform well in activities that include communication with a large number of people (public relations, tourism, social sphere).5
Extremely responsive to challenges. Their behavior in the event of problems vividly illustrates the popular expression "make an elephant out of a fly." At this moment, feelings “flood” them, blocking access to thoughts and deliberate actions.
In counseling and therapy, it is important to let Enthusiasts know that they are important and loved even when they are ignored. It is valuable to show that in difficult situations it is necessary to share the situation itself and your feelings regarding this situation, as well as to connect the cognitive component in finding a solution.
Responsible Workaholic
They tend to avoid a lot of social contact at the same time. They feel comfortable alone, prefer to communicate one on one, or with 2-3 people at the same time.
Practice an active approach to problem solving. The same can be said about establishing contacts: Workaholics willingly make acquaintances, preferring not to wait for the initiative from others. Thus, in the Evaluation Matrix, this adaptation is located in the Active-Avoidant quadrant.
They behave responsibly, always keeping their word. As a rule, these are excellent employees who can be relied upon and on which many processes are held.
However, this is where their difficulties arise. They consider their area of responsibility unlimited, so it is difficult for them to relax and appreciate what they have already achieved.
In therapy, it is important to help them learn to simply "be" as opposed to their "I am while I am doing" principle. It is also necessary to show that sometimes it is enough to do something just well, without striving for perfection. And also to teach to distinguish between the value of oneself as a person and the value of one's actions and deeds.
