Geek Psychology: Play Life Better

Matt Shermangeekpsychology.com

I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!

You know what most INFPs get wrong

Stop fighting yourself. ️ Let your soul (introverted Feeling) and your commander ️ (extraverted Thinking) work side by side. Use emotions as rocket fuel, not roadblocks.
