Your comments on anger and the different energy expressions is very helpful and timely. However, I noticed that for the type 2 people you didn’t give suggestions for what to do to help deal with the anger and/or preventative measures. I am a dominant type 2 and would like more details!

As a Type 2 Cathy, I would love your suggestions. Here are a couple from me, it’s important for you to move through life at your pace and not apologize for yourselves. That can cause stress and pent up emotions, and the anger can be turned inward, causing health problems.

Yes, please give us some suggestions for coping as type 2s! I understand the things that cause problems for us and preventing them in the first place is key, but when anger sneaks up on us, how do we best dispel it? thanks!

How do I live what my alleged Energy profile is, if I am not already? How can I not live what I essentially am? And how do I get to my dominant energy profile if I’m not there?
Thanks

Thank you, this is grat for me and for my family. I am a type 1 and my husband is type 3, this helps me to understad him, and I am a mother of 3 teenagers, so this is a great information to help me to respect them and make thinks work in a much better way. GRACIAS!

This question was timely for me as well. I got the bundle and have been reviewing and re-reading everything! I believe that I am a dominant Type 2 with a strong secondary Type 1. One of the strongest lessons for me is to STOP APOLOGIZING for my slow, methodical pace. It’s easy for me to get pushed around, get frantic because it doesn’t feel right to be pushed (here comes the retreating of my Type 2ness) and then slowly get angry – leads to stomach aches. In all these years of self-help development and being in an energy field myself, I still felt like I was in the wrong or needed to grow because I have not been able to keep up with everyone else around me (who always seem to be Type 3′s or bottom line 4′s). Not really! I needed to appreciate my nature. Thank you Carol!
Breathing techniques help: Qi-Gong, Tai-Chi and others. Smiling is good – especially when I realize that it’s ok for me to be methodical. It sounds so simple to say, but it really is quite freeing and relaxing.

Wow, what a great video!
I’m type 1/3, my husband is 2/4 and my adult-at-home son is 4/3.
I’m the one who has ‘attacks’ and blows up, my husband gets sick and my son needs his alone time, every day as you said. Intuitively we know this, but you’ve put it on the table making it easy to see and work with. Understanding each other is so helpful to having a smooth family life….and with friends, too.
Always, thank you for the life changing helps, I’m so grateful I went through your Dressing Your Truth course and continue to follow your updates.
When I first learned of your work, I kept it to myself, then bit by bit have shared stuff with the guys. After initial laughing and scoffing, now they come and ask me “OK, What would Carol say?”
Just thank you.

I also think a bubble bath would be very calming for Type 2′s. Wouldn’t they also benefit the most from those water fountains? Also, I like how Carol didn’t give “In the moment” advice for any type, but recommended a course that gives each type the chance to honor their true nature. I know when I’m getting upset, I can focus on the fun I’m going to have this weekend, or just later, and I can deal with the present easier. (Yes, I’m a 1.) Of course, I’ve tried just about all of the techniques for every type and they have all helped at different times of my life. Try it, until you find one you like!

Great subject Carol.
As a type 2, the thing that is also difficult for me(as Carol has suggested)is getting ignored. The service industry is generally helping a 1 or 4 (or the 3 that strongly asked), but the 2 waits. (I really appreciate good customer service, and BTW Carol-your company rocks!)
How to get noticed when I’m so naturally blending in? Personally I have a side-dish of type 3; but it doesn’t sit well with me. I’d love to handle it as a type 2!
Carol, would you address some week the subject of public perception of each type and how to deal with it in the most true-to-type fashion?
March 22nd, 2010 at 6:48 pm
I am dominant 2 with a high 1. When you mentioned talking inward to myself, it really hit home. I have been dealing with a very angry son who refuses to see anything but his way regarding a difficult situation. The more I think about it, the more I believe he is a type 3. He has been pretty volatile lately and I just can’t be around it. Thank you Carol, for your comments. It helped me with self discovery and that is always good, especially for me. I also know that when I get together with the girls I can handle things much better. I appreciate you and what you are doing.

As a type 2, I do like baths, reading a book, getting a massage, or pedicures, relaxed time talking with friends at children’s play dates, taking naps or just laying down for a minute and doing some deep breathing and stretching. Anything that slows life down a bit.
As for servicing, my intention is that waiters or others will notice my sweet qualities (that I smile and ask nicely) and would happily serve me. I just say “Excuse me” and make eye contact, and if I have to gesture a bit, tilting my head towards the isle to make the contact, I do it, and all in my natural essence, very soft, subtle and peaceful. More than anything, you will experience in public, what your intention/beliefs are rather than your energy type. As a type 2, I believe that any comfortable attention from others will come even without me being extroverted. I believe that people are intrigued by who I am and I genuinely am intrigued by others so sometimes I’ll put myself out to others, but a lot of times others will come to me, noticing me.

Excellent feedback for everyone and for Type 2′s! Thank you for sharing your truth Rachelle.

I also hope you are dressing your truth, cause I’ve noticed that when I did not dress correctly as a type 2, I was even more looked over. Now, dressing my type 2 energy, I feel like it’s easier to express myself and be recieved.

I always thought I was a bad mom because I couldn’t have “fun” with my kids. There were days when my husband would walk through the door and I would just hand him the baby and say, “see you later – I need to get out of here”. I would usually just go shopping and I would always come home feeling better – except that I felt guilty. How wonderful that your daughter has you to tell her that it is ok and not only ok, but necessary.

Um, OK, I’m *definitely* a Type 3 on this one. In my marriage (which is now over), I would nearly always avoid conflict and turn inward. But it would absolutely boil over into a rage, usually expressed by yelling at my kids. Now, as a single mom with 3 little kids, the most frustrating thing is when I am not able to get things done quickly; again – totally Type 3. My oldest son is very helpful, but I think he might be a Type 2 – he’s very methodical and slow-paced.
