Barbara Bush
challenges and difficulties

Bush both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting herself be known in a deep way does not come easily to Barbara, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Barbara Pierce Bush is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Bush.

Bush is generally not a "joiner" and she does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Barbara Pierce Bush does participate in a group, she may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or she may simply feel that she does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Barbara Pierce Bush better than being with groups of her own peers.

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

Barbara Pierce Bush's path lies in her development as an individual, the discovery of her own strengths and joys, the capacity to express her uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Bush's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Barbara Pierce Bush is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, she may believe that striving to do her personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Barbara should let go of this notion. Finding her own center and doing what gives her delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Barbara Pierce Bush can offer the world at large.

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Barbara Pierce Bush has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Bush will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when there is a mutual dependency involved. Dealing with in-laws, inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and resources is also a part of this.

Her relationships with others could be rather unstable and unreliable. With a somewhat negative attitude and weak will, Barbara Pierce Bush avoids opposition and escapes her responsibilities. In her relationships she is likely to choose people who are asocial.
