The Inner Flow growth path for Type Ones brings them into direct contact with the challenges embodied in Type Four: allowing for greater range and depth of feeling, more melancholy and longing, and greater creativity and self-expression (instead of just following the rules). Not surprisingly, Ones often report that they find being in contact with Four traits painful and uncomfortable. But exploring depth and expression of feeling with purpose and consciousness can give the One a sense of relief at finally releasing what they have spent considerable energy holding back.
