Carrie Underwood
challenges and difficulties

Underwood 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 Carrie, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Carrie Underwood 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 Underwood.

It may be difficult for Carrie Underwood to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

Carrie may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, Carrie Underwood also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

She is suspicious of groups, crowds, and social organizations. Underwood is quick to pick up on social charades and insincerity and avoids the limelight and glamour. Carrie Underwood is direct and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and often unwilling to communicate her innermost feelings and thoughts.

Basically shy, Carrie may become a bit inhibited when talking with other people. Carrie Underwood tends to withdraw from others and likes to live a humble, quiet live in seclusion. She may get involved with a group of a secretive nature, although Underwood is not one to join groups in general.

She is inclined to be somewhat withdrawn and has a hard time discussing important matters with her family and close relationships. A serious and deep thinker, Carrie Underwood would like to explain her views to others, but has a difficult time finding the right words.

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

When under stress, Carrie Underwood is apt to shut off the flow of her emotions and ignore her needs and feelings in order to do what she perceives as her duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of her, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering her tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Carrie Underwood's growth. Carrie Underwood needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both herself and others. Letting herself be taken care of sometimes is okay!

It is in her relationships with others that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Carrie Underwood between acting spontaneously and being true to herself versus modifying herself or her behavior to suit others. Carrie Underwood seesaws between being inordinately concerned with her self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about her. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Underwood's task.

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

Escapism through fantasy, intoxicants, or passive, vicarious activities (television, movies, etc.), waiting for a miracle instead of taking constructive steps to help herself, aimlessness or an inability to make and keep commitments, and self deception regarding other people. Carrie has a tendency to be a martyr.
