Cybill Shepherd
challenges and difficulties

Cybill Shepherd has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Shepherd knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Cybill Shepherd may be something of a hypochondriac also. Cybill must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

She may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Cybill Shepherd does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Cybill Shepherd must learn to overcome her ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

Her faith, optimism, and sense of possibilities are tempered by much caution, and often doubt or skepticism as well. Whatever hopes or visions Cybill Shepherd has for her life are firmly held in check by her sense of reality. At times she may wish for more freedom, but Cybill also fears it and hang back. Cybill Shepherd may blame practical limitations or some external condition or the prevailing Authority for her own inhibitions.

Cybill Shepherd tends to have a pessimistic outlook and she seems to be plagued by deep inner conflicts, which could severely undermine her strength. Self-critical and uncertain about her goals, Cybill feels that she cannot live up to her ideals and end up disappointed.

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

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to Cybill Shepherd - so much so that she seeks them out at her own expense. When she is under stress, Shepherd tends to look outside herself for approval or answers, and she leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge her own path through life is a key factor in her self-development.

Cybill Shepherd is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about her intentions or desires, and she can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of Shepherd's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Cybill Shepherd needs to cultivate her ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on her own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

It is in her marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. She may see the qualities that she needs to develop more fully (described above) in her partner. It is important for Cybill Shepherd to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. Cybill Shepherd has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.

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

The need to be first all of the time and demonstrate an aggressive or bossy attitude, impatience or irritability; an over-eagerness to use force or violence to gain advantage and the tendency to resort to fighting or using confrontation too quickly.

Cybill should use extra care in her relationships with people, for she could easily end up in the wrong crowd. Cybill Shepherd could be the victim of fraud and falsehood or through association may become an accessory to malicious action.
