    07 | Learned Behavior with Personality Types: How Life Shapes Relationships

    This is part of a series of episodes with “basic training” to prepare listeners for special relational conversations and mapping in future episodes. Host Cyndy Bartelli introduces Relationship Reality and continues a basic training series on relationships by explaining the difference between God- designed personality and learned behavior. Drawing on her experience as a certified personality trainer and longtime human resources director, she describes using personality profiles and integrity surveys and emphasizes that character, ethics, and morals are developed through training and life experiences, not personality. She explains how people may modify behavior to cope — such as a naturally outgoing child appearing introverted under a controlling parent — and shares a retreat story of a woman realizing she had lived to fit someone else’s mold. Bartelli notes learned behaviors can be unlearned, while basic personality typically remains. She urges parents and influencers to teach right from wrong, prays for integrity and wisdom, and previews a next episode on heart healing connected to her book, The Heart Healer. - - - - - Download my free Personality Chart: https://cyndybartelli.com/personalitychart Grab a copy of The Heart Healer: https://cyndybartelli.com/hearthealerbook Dive deeper with The Heart Healer Online Course: https://cyndybartelli.com/THHcourse Support the Relationship Reality Podcast through Vertical Hearts: https://cyndybartelli.com/give
