Brooke Burns
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 Burns. Brooke Burns 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 Brooke.

She is serious-minded and may have difficulty making light social conversation or participating in friendly, personal interchanges.

Brooke Burns tries to be strictly accurate and she is critical of people who exaggerate or talk on subjects they really know little about. Burns withholds her thoughts and opinions until she has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Brooke's silence discomforts others.

Her mental concentration is very good but her breadth of understanding may not be.

Brooke Burns may often be coerced into doing things that she does not want to do, leaving her frustrated, irritable and touchy. Brooke could turn hard and unforgiving toward others and may break up some important relationships.

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

Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Brooke stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Brooke Burns has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Brooke Burns feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Brooke Burns calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Brooke Burns needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

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

The specific habits which are likely to hold Brooke Burns back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

The tendency for self-indulgence, laziness, and over-reliance on the generosity or affection of others, as well as making love relationships, social life and superficial pleasures more important than anything else in her life.

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

Brooke Burns tends to have a certain fear of crowds and may find it hard to integrate herself into a group of people. Working with others is not easy for Burns, and she may frequently encounter some upsets or hostility.
