“Human formation focuses on self-knowledge, affective maturity, personal and social awareness and the capacity to relate to others, conflict management and leadership skills, and the development of a healthy lifestyle. Human formation is the foundation for all priestly formation.”

What are the GRACE Pillars™?

Pathways to Holiness

Sainthood is a lifelong journey of receiving our identity in Christ, allowing His mercy to heal what has been wounded, and growing in freedom and love. Through self-knowledge, self-acceptance, and interior integration, we grow in self-gift and faithful service, living in deeper union with God.

What Are THE SEVEN Formation Dimensions™ ?

Who Are These Deep Dives For?

They were specially designed for:


Catholic individuals who are fragmented in their identity, weary of performance-driven faith, and longing for belonging, rootedness, and integration in their relationships with God, self, and others.


Many faithful Catholics share the same spiritual values while navigating:

  • different cultures
  • family traditions
  • communication styles
  • emotional expressions
  • expectations about faith and family life


TAF’s Seven Dimensions of Self-Knowledge transform these differences from sources of tension into pathways toward deeper understanding, unity, and communion.


The Trinity Colored ID Inventory


Is NOT about personality labels. Rather, it highlights recurring patterns of expression through which the Imago Dei—the divine image placed within every person—is revealed.


Each person tends to express both their wounded or healed identity through their natural preferences, innate dispositions, and relational styles.


Insights from temperament theory and personality research can help illuminate these patterns. However, within the Trinity Anchored Formation Framework, these tools remain descriptive, not definitive—they do not define who a person is.


In Catholic anthropology, identity is received from God through the Imago Dei and renewed in Christ.

The Trinity Anchored ID℠ framework simply offers a lens for recognizing how this God-given design often manifests in the ways a person communicates, relates, loves, and serves within the Body of Christ.


Over time, these natural relational patterns can be healed, ordered through virtue, and transformed by grace, allowing the Image of God to shine more fully as the person is conformed to Christ and participates more deeply in His divine life


ADVICE FOR TAKING THE TRINITY COLORED ID℠ ONLINE INVENTORY

1. Think of who you are MOST OF THE TIME in MOST SITUATIONS (not just at work, think about all situations, including home & socially)


2. Do not select the words or descriptive answers as you:

  • Desire to be
  • Have learned to be
  • Think you should be
  • Think someone else would say you are


Select the words or descriptive answers that represent who you REALLY ARE -- the accuracy of the inventory results are dependent upon your self-awareness.  


3. As you select words or descriptive answers from each section, you may experience some tension; you may feel you can identify with all the choices -- this is normal, most people feel the same way.


4. Relax and do not overthink your choices. There are no right or wrong answers; often, your initial response is your best.


5. Try and take the assessment when you are rested. Accuracy will depend on a non-stressful, non-rushed environment.

OUR POSITION ON THE ENNEAGRAM

We prayerfully discern the tools we use for our human and spiritual formation framework. 


While the Enneagram is widely used in contemporary personality and spiritual contexts, here at Trinity Anchored Formation, we have chosen NOT to use or promote the Enneagram within our human formation work.


Our framework is rooted in Catholic anthropology and formation principles.  We prioritize tools that clearly support the integration of intellect, will, appetites, memory, and innate dispositions in cooperation with grace.



Over the years, various concerns have been raised within the Church regarding the Enneagram's origins, symbolic structure, and interpretive framework. In agreement with the Church’s document, ‘Jesus Christ The Bearer Of The Water Of Life’ we too believe, the Enneagram does NOT provide a reliable foundation for Catholic human formation. It is not a scientifically validated psychological assessment, nor was it developed within the tradition of empirical personality research. Its origins are rooted in occult practices, specifically "automatic writing", and its historical development is associated with principles that fall outside the Christian tradition.



For these reasons, Trinity Anchored Formation prioritizes formation tools that are clearly compatible with Catholic theology, sound psychology, and the Church's understanding of the human person.

Through the Trinity Colored ID™ framework, we draw on temperament theory and typological insights supported by decades of empirical research, integrating insights from Catholic anthropology and human formation to support authentic human and spiritual development.

STILL unsure of the next right step?

No worries — you’re not alone.


Often, when someone carries wounds, disordered love, or identity confusion, these awareness assessments can produce inconsistent or overly balanced results that reflect coping patterns rather than true design.

Hi, I’m Leslie.

My name is Leslie Adamson. I’m a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, and I’ve been married for over thirty years.


Before entering ministry, I worked as a traumatic brain injury rehabilitation therapist. That work showed me how wonderfully and beautifully God has made each of us. The human brain alone is truly awe-inspiring, and it deepened my reverence for our Creator.


Later, as a veteran Catholic home educator and parish ministry leader, I met faithful people who loved God and served generously—but who, like so many of us, struggled to let Him love them. I saw sincere believers trying to earn God’s love through performance, perfection, or productivity, rather than resting in their true worth as His beloved sons and daughters.


Out of that journey came Trinity Anchored Formation—a Catholic formation path rooted in Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, and the sacramental life of the Church.




MY FORMATION & MISSION



I’m the founder of Trinity Anchored Formation LLC, a professional Catholic apostolate. I am also a certified Catholic coach, Marriage & Family Relationship Skills Educator, and soon-to-be certified Five Love Languages coach.


The heart of my work is helping people heal the places where faith, diminished self-knowledge, hidden wounds, unresolved grief, and broken but repairable relationships intersect—especially where sincere believers love God deeply, yet still feel overwhelmed or stuck in their vocations and missions.


As a redeemed Adult Third Culture Kid and immensely grateful Catholic convert, my lived experiences have become the compass that guides my mission. Every layer of my story fuels my desire to help others heal the hidden wounds that have fractured their God-given identity and to cultivate wholehearted, Christ-centered relationships—so they may live the two greatest commandments with freedom and integrity.


“You shall love the Lord your God… and your neighbor as yourself.”

— Mark 12:30–31
