This week we’re beginning our Enneagram in Relationships series with a look at Type Two — The Helper, or sometimes called The Giver.

If you’re a Two, or if you love someone who is, this type has an incredible ability to sense what others need—sometimes before those people even know it themselves. They lead with their hearts, value connection, and often find meaning through being helpful, supportive, and present for others.

Core Desire: to feel loved, wanted and appreciated

Core Fear: being rejected, unwanted, being thought of as worthless, or needy

Core Longing: to feel loved, wanted and appreciated

In this week’s episode we learn more about Type Two’s, how they navigate relationships and I share a few practical ways to better communicate with, support, and lead a Type Two.

Whether you love, work with, or lead a Type Two you will appreciate their compassion, generosity and care.
