What is the one thing about yourself that you cannot accept?

In this episode, Michael, Hari Prasada, and Rasanath introduce the Upbuild original concept of the Achilles Heel. Drawing from years of study and teaching of the Enneagram, they explore how each Type has a specific vulnerability it unconsciously resists accepting, and how that resistance becomes the source of suffering and disconnection. They explore how denial and anger often emerge when we encounter it, and the path to acceptance additionally aided by understanding the five stages of grief.
