Bill Wilson 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 Wilson.

Bill Wilson has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though Bill limits himself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in himself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Bill Wilson difficult to get to know intimately, as Wilson tends to distance himself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

Bill has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Bill Wilson needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve his aspirations. Wilson will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

The direction Bill Wilson needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Cultivating the qualities of empathy, gentleness, and compassion will help counterbalance Wilson's deeply ingrained perfectionism and critical nature.
