We’re talking about 2’s on episode 6 of Enneagram for the Culture. Our hosts Kimberly Reese & Camille Logan, black therapists hailing out of North Carolinas, discuss the ins and outs of the type 2 personality, some misconceptions surrounding it, and how it relates to race and Black culture. After learning that Camille is a suitcase guru and Kim’s sweatshirt game is unmatched, we tap into the heart triad with 2’s; Camille gives an overview (9:26). Following the overview, Kim gets into the access points of 2’s (17:50), pointing out the positive and negative effects of each point. Later, Camille touches on wings 1 & 3, and how the 2 taps into their energy for different personal outcomes (27:00). Moving into the misconceptions (34:05) Camille starts us off by pointing out how some physical actions of 2’s can really be translated to the way they want emotional support, and Kim follows up with how her mother fits into the mix as a self-preservation 2. Because of the caring and humble nature of 2’s, it leads people to over focus on women in the space and somewhat alienate males, as Camille describes in the cultural half of the podcast (42:00). They discuss the "Mammy stereotype" and how 2's, especially Black female 2's, can slip into an unfair caretaking role without boundaries (44:45). Our hosts had excellent discussions on this episode, and we hope you enjoy it. Thank you for listening!
