When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness.
Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful
as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.

–Margaret Wheatley

This is a picture of me and my BESTEST guy friend in the whole world, Peter.
Peter is a type Six with a Seven wing and a psychotherapist in private practice.  He’s also an extrovert which (combined with the 6w7wing) makes him quite the connection junkie.  He loves spending time with friends, and social groups with a shared purpose or common goal.

He is very masterful at making me feel safe and cared for.  When he comes and picks me up for a ride, I can shut off the part of my brain that worries.  Ahhhhhh….

And he’s a first-time Dad to baby-boy Finn, who’s almost 8 months old.  I think Sixes are natural Fathers.  Peter is so gentle with Finn, and loves to hold him and isn’t too much of a dude to baby talk .  It’s actually quite adorable!

So, a few of the positive qualities of type Six that I’m bringing to light here: they can be amiable friends and community members, doting Dads….and they have the capacity to make most people feel safe and attended to.  Oh, and they aren’t afraid to be goofy.

I think being a Six is a VERY good thing!
