Exploring the Connection Between Personality Type and Cancer
While the polarizing qualities between Type A and Type B personalities are familiar to most people, there is another personality type that is not as well known.
Type C personality is expressed through people who:
Remain pleasant despite difficult circumstances
Use denial as a coping strategy
Are prone to self-blame and guilt
Put other’s needs before their own
It’s no surprise that emotions such as depression, anger, and hostility make us more prone to illness, while positive attitudes such as hope, optimism, and happiness strengthen our immune systems and can help protect us from diseases.
