Shadow Side – Discussion Debrief

It’s important to take time and discuss both the positive and negative aspects of your character strengths. Here are some of the things you might have discussed:

• Pre-judging and stereotyping – People might negatively judge others based on their character strengths.
• Using a strength that is not aligned with the needs of others – Using a strength can become manipulative when it is being used at the expense of other people.
• Over-using a strength – Not all character strengths are appropriate for all situations.
