This increases the need for self-understanding, which helps Fours to again examine themselves. Thus the balancing loop can help Fours to recover. In the unhealthy state, the basic fear of being defective can cause Type Fours to ignore their true selves, allow their emotions to overwhelm them, and indulge in wild fantasy about themselves. This means they will understand themselves even less, and further increases Fours' basic fear. The cycle continues to build up.
Fours can refrain from indulging in fantasy and start examining themselves.
This will help Fours to understand themselves, and reduce the fear of being defective.
