Henry Armetta
challenges and difficulties

Armetta fears of becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance himself or deny his needs for relationships of closeness and intimacy so that he will not be vulnerable to rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, Henry Armetta may cling excessively or need constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important tasks for Henry.

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

Somewhat shy, Henry finds it difficult to relate to people and tends to withdraw from others. Since it is hard for Henry Armetta to establish relationships, he would rather be by himself. Henry likes everything simple or plain and prefers a more humble and secluded life.

Henry Armetta strongly rebels against any restrictions and may have the desire to break away, over-throwing all thought of responsibility. On the other hand, limitations in his live also could suddenly pass away, leaving Armetta free to do his own thing.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Henry Armetta instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Henry Armetta needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Henry Armetta's path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Armetta's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Henry Armetta is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Henry should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Henry Armetta can offer the world at large.

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