Acquiring awareness and learning control strategies is the basis of an effective integrated bio-medicine path.

The emotion that characterizes this triad is “anger”, which each of the three enneatypes manages in different ways: manifesting it (e.8), denying it (e.1) or remaining unaware of it (e.9).
