challenges and difficulties

She is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing herself freely and openly is not easy for Bach. Barbara Bach tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of her "performance" is an important task for Barbara.

Barbara Bach has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Barbara limits herself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in herself enough or being assertive when necessary.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Barbara Bach 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 Barbara Bach needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Barbara Bach needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Barbara's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Bach's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Barbara Bach to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Barbara Bach is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Barbara Bach needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!
