Dory Previn
challenges and difficulties

Previn both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable to others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting them get to know her intimately does not come easily to Dory, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Dory Previn 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 Previn.

Her childhood or her relationship with her parents was restrictive, unloving or unhappy in ways that may prevent Dory from allowing other people to get close to her in later life. Dory Previn feels that she was deprived in one form or another, regardless of whether she actually was or not. Her early life - at least as Previn remembers it - may have been marked by emotional separation or repression of her needs and feelings. Forgiving her parents and/or letting go of any resentments she has about the limitations that she experienced early in her life is crucial. Also, Dory Previn needs to build her own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into her home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Dory accomplish this task.

Previn may find it difficult to relate to people and express her feelings, especially in love relationships. On the hand, Dory Previn wants relationships yet on the other, she would rather be by herself. A sense of personal inadequacy makes Dory withdraw from others and feel lonely as a result.

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

Dory Previn'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 Previn's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Dory Previn 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 Dory should let go of this notion. Finding her own center and doing what gives her delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Dory Previn can offer the world at large.

It is deep within herself, as Dory Previn faces her own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of her life that Dory Previn keeps hidden from public view where she is most likely to wrestle with these issues.

The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service or ministering to people in need.
