Types 8 - 9 - 1

The Body Center Types are all about autonomy over their worlds and if they feel people messing with the way their world works, they react in different ways with the anger that says “How dare you infringe on what’s mine?” 

Type 8 Provocation 

Challenging my strength, power, or authority by not making me feel in control, not doing what I say, or reminding me of my vulnerability even if only by showing me your own vulnerability

Type 9 Provocation 

Disrupting my peace of mind by creating expectations, requesting me to step out of my comfort zone, interfering with my routines, or inviting me to deal with the things I don’t want to deal with 

Type 1 Provocation

Dishonoring my principles, disobeying the rules (my rules), failing to give your best to reach my standards, or in any way reminding me of how I don’t live up to my own ideals even accidentally

Type 8 in Anger

The Grenade – I indiscriminately take everything and everyone down with a little blast of unabashed, unadulterated rage, peppered with gestures and cutting words, often curses, that provide me with a big release, but provide you with the important info of who’s the real boss and who’s really nothing 

Type 9 in Anger

The Teakettle – I rise and rise and rise and rise in temperature, but you can’t really tell that I’m getting hotter until little bubbles of moodiness, and then bigger bubbles of passive aggressiveness start to show, before I finally burst, when my anger comes out and morphs into a Grenade or a Firehose depending on my wing

Type 1 in Anger

The Firehose – I’m squeezed and ready to erupt but constantly keep myself in check because it’s not right to be angry…until it has to come out, and then…with full-pressure that’s been brewing and brewing, (I’m exceptionally precise about everything in life, and my anger is no exception) I always hit the target to make you feel so guilty and defeated you’ll have to change your ways or get out of the way
