Feeling Triad

The types in the feeling triad have gifts and issues involving their emotions. Healthy feeling types can use their emotions to guide them and inspire others. Unhealthy types allow their emotions to control them. “The essential qualities of this centre involve the deep connection with the intelligence of the heart. The heart is our source of feelings and emotional connection with others. It helps us recognize our love and value for ourselves and for others. Through feelings and value, we understand our identity, who we (and others) really are.”

Type two’s core fear is being without love or feeling unlovable. Their core desire is to have love and warmth. They tend to be helpful, warmhearted, empathetic, and willing to forget their own needs to help others. Twos think if they give others love, people will return the same. Unhealthy twos can be possessive and people-pleasing.

Type three’s core fear is being worthless. Their core desire is to be of value. They often have great social skills, they’re ambitious, competitive, have a strong desire to get to the top. Although, they can focus too much on being appreciated for their efforts and focus too hard on being noticed.

Type four’s core fear is being without a sense of identity or feeling emotionally cut off. Their core desire is having a sense of longing and identity. Fours are emotional and sensitive. They tend to pick up on their own feelings and the feelings of others. Therefore, they’re quite self-aware. They also strive for a way to express themselves and their creativity. On the flip side, they focus too much on finding purpose for themselves through themselves and others. They can be quite moody, withdrawn, or even prone to being melancholy.
