Temperament Therapy (also known as Creation Therapy) is the counseling method used at Red Letter Ministries in guiding people towards handling life’s challenges, life’s problems, and reaching the individuals full potential.
Temperament Therapy recognizes that humans are born with a DNA encoded temperament. This is to say that the life God breathes into each and every one of us comes with natural traits and tendencies that are as much a part of who one is as their eye color or the nose on their face. This temperament has a tremendous influence on how a person reacts, their ambition or lack of ambition, and in general, cause a person to do what they do. In essence, it is what drives the individual.
Temperament is, therefore, an intricate and important part of each person. There are three areas where temperaments are displayed:
-
- INCLUSION AREA: This tells you how you function in and respond to your environment.
-
- CONTROL AREA: This tells you how you think and how you make decisions. It also tells you how much you allow others to control your or how much you try to control others.
-
- AFFECTION AREA: This tells you how you express and want love, affection and approval from the significant people in your life.
By identifying and understanding the temperaments in these three areas a person understands their temperament in each of these areas it brings them to a greater understanding of their self. The following is a brief summary of each temperament.
-
- THE MELANCHOLY …who tends to be an introvert in socialization, who looks at their home as a “sanctuary” away from the world, who is task oriented, very creative, a perfectionist, and plagued with low self-esteem. Melancholy’s need “alone quiet time every day, to think, dream, and regenerate.” They also give the world it’s beauty, it’s great art and music, and literature. They tend to think deep and feel things intensely.
Motto: “You have the problem, not me” (Famous melancholy’s are Hemingway, Van Gogh, Beethoven)
-
- THE SANGUIEN …who tends to be the extrovert, who needs to be the center of attention, always looking for opportunities to socialize, has tons of friends, talks talks talks, tells complete strangers their entire life story, gives in to peer pressure, has a temper that explodes and five minutes later cannot remember why they exploded. Relationship oriented.
Motto: “I’m ready to go.”
-
- THE CHOLERIC …who tends to be the extrovert. Always needing to be in control of the situation, to get or accomplish whatever they want, able to envision great projects and having the power to complete whatever they set out to do.
Motto: “Win at any cost.” (If used correctly, cholerics become presidents and CEO’s of companies. If used wrongly, they can become abusive and cruel.)
-
- THE PHLEGMATIC …who tends to be extremely slow-paced, stubborn, going through life doing as little as possible because it takes too much energy to really use their talents. They can handle themselves well in almost all situations, well-rounded individuals and can roll with the punches.
Motto: “Peace at all costs.”
-
- THE SUPINE …who tends to be the servant, wanting to run themselves ragged to please the people around them. They must have recognition for services rendered, cannot make decisions independently and always ask for second opinions from those around them. They say “yes” when they mean “no” and then feel used and angry about it later. Must feel loved, appreciated, and approved, working side-by-side with a helpmate.
Motto: “I will do anything in the world for you, as long as you treat me right.” (These people take after Mother Teresa.)
Through counseling the individual comes to an understanding of his/her temperament which leads them to an understanding of their self spiritually, physically, and mentally. Through counseling, a person can find balance in their life and their relationship with God the Father.
Each emotional need that your temperament shows during the temperament therapy/creation therapy session will be addressed and a healthy way of fulfilling the needs will be found. We believe that YOU are responsible for your life. We also believe that you should be given the best chance to meet the greatest results no matter where you are in life. When we have completed the temperament counseling sessions, you will find a freedom you have not experienced before, much more balance, and confidence in life as you will know exactly what temperament “tools” you possess. All this begins with an assessment that takes no more than 8 minutes to complete.
There is no shame in wanting a better life. Temperament Therapy can help. In 2004, a Harris Poll revealed that about 80 million adults in the U.S. received mental health treatment. You are not alone! See for yourself how you will benefit.

Psalm 139:1 Lord, you have seen what is in my heart. You know all about me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I’m thinking even though you are far away. 3 You know when I go out to work and when I come back home. You know exactly how I live. 4 Lord, even before I speak a word, you know all about it.
5 You are all around me, behind me and in front of me. You hold me safe in your hand. 6 I’m amazed at how well you know me. It’s more than I can understand.
…. 13 You created the deepest parts of my being.
You put me together inside my mother’s body. 14 How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well. 15 None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother’s body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth. When you were putting me together there, 16 your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them.
