What is Two-Way?

A balanced exchange of emotional support where giving and receiving feel roughly equal over time. You help others and accept help in return. Reciprocity creates sustainable, healthy relationships.

Two-Way is a specific form of support, which itself is a type of emotional. You might experience this feeling in situations where emotional is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define two-way.
