I have always had problems dealing with authority figures, and seem to fall into either phobic or counterphobic 6 mode when faced with one.
----------------------------------------
When you accept yourself as at least equal in authority to anyone else, then you will start to feel freedom from reacting to any perceived authority figures.
I guess I'm having trouble seeing the middle ground between running towards or running away. When confronted by an authority, what lies between sticking to your guns and giving in?
------------------------------------------------
Faith, courage, belief. All these lead to confidence, which is essential for determining the right course of action and acting on it.
: At least part of the problem is a mental and emotional one
----------------------------------------
Every enneatype is a mental and emotional problem, just different.
But even when I can quiet my mind and heart, I still have the action question of what to do.
--------------------------------------------
A very 6 statement!
Mental quieting is the first step. Next is listening to the inner voice inside you. Then, trusting enough to act on it.
