Overview
Type Twos, the Helpers, are warm, generous, and emotionally attuned partners who intuitively sense others’ needs and respond with care. They bring empathy, affection, and genuine devotion to their relationships, often making their loved ones feel deeply seen and supported. Twos excel at creating emotional connection and go out of their way to make the people they love feel valued and special.
At the same time, Twos can struggle to identify and express their own needs, fearing that doing so might make them appear selfish or unloved. They may overextend themselves or take pride in being indispensable, which can quietly lead to resentment or burnout. Growth for Twos means learning that love doesn’t have to be earned through service, it can be received freely, too.
