Anne Bancroft
challenges and difficulties

Anne Bancroft has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Anne is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Anne Bancroft often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Bancroft's which may inhibit her a great deal. Anne Bancroft must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.

Her fears revolve around money and material security, and Anne Bancroft works very hard to ensure that her assets are solid. She may be very conservative, even stingy, with her money because she is afraid there will not be enough. She may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

Anne Bancroft becomes tense and upset rather easily. She becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In her eagerness to see her inspirations materialize, Bancroft is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving her goals. Her occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Quite reserved and somewhat inhibited in her relationships with others, Anne Bancroft may feel that she is better off by herself. Anne feels that she does not fit in very well with people and she finds team-work in groups or associations difficult to achieve.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Anne Bancroft instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Anne Bancroft needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to Anne Bancroft - so much so that she seeks them out at her own expense. When she is under stress, Bancroft tends to look outside herself for approval or answers, and she leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge her own path through life is a key factor in her self-development.

Anne Bancroft is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about her intentions or desires, and she can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of Bancroft's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Anne Bancroft needs to cultivate her ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on her own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Bancroft's inner, personal life and her career or involvement with the world at large that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Anne Bancroft needs to focus attention on her home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.
