Twos have an amazing way of making other people feel safe and comfortable. They are some of the most caring, supportive and upbeat people I know.\\xa0 They accept you as you are, aren\\u2019t judgmental and create space where people can speak from their hearts and experience.\\xa0

Yet, Twos need to be needed but for a Two to admit their own \\u201cneediness\\u201d is very difficult. They rarely ask for help and don\\u2019t know how to receive it when it\\u2019s offered.\\xa0 \\xa0Instead, they focus their energy on meeting the needs of others. They have to DO things to really feel loved.\\xa0 Unhealthy Twos don\\u2019t know who they are if they aren\\u2019t doing things for the people around them.

So, for a Two to grow in self-awareness and gain self-compassion, they need to embrace the truth that we all have needs.\\xa0 We\\u2019re all broken in some way.\\xa0 And that\\u2019s okay.\\xa0 It just makes us more human.\\xa0

In today\\u2019s episode, Michele Cushatt joins us to talk about how Twos can stop seeing their wounds as a flaw but rather as portals for deeper connection for others.
