Johnson’s Wife Practices “Temperament Counseling”

The Insider reports:

Kelly Johnson’s website listed a specialty in Temperament counseling, a specialty that she received training for from an organization founded in the 1980s by a Christian couple.

The temperament-based approach breaks people down into five types: Melancholy, Choleric, Sanguine, Supine, and Phlegmatic. Richard and Phyllis Arno, who established a test to identify people’s temperament, founded the National Christian Counselors Association in the early 1980s.

They and their advocates prefer the term temperament over personalities as the term personality is characterized as a “mask” while temperaments are “inborn” and thus inherent to each individual regardless of outside influences such as parenting.

The Arnos have cited notorious anti-LGBTQ activist Tim “Left Behind” LaHaye as an inspiration for their so-called “temperament” counseling.

LaHaye, whose books included The Unhappy Gays, Homosexuality And The Bible, and the Left Behind series, co-founded the anti-LGBTQ hate group, the Traditional Values Coalition.

His wife founded Concerned Women For America. LaHaye croaked at age 90 in 2016. The website for Kelly Johnson’s counseling company compares being LGBTQ to bestiality and incest.

Kelly Johnson, who is married to House Speaker Mike Johnson, practices an ancient form of Christian counseling that classifies people into ‘choleric’, ‘phlegmatic,’ and other personality types purportedly ordained by God https://t.co/E1ecYEZjvS
