Hilda Doolittle
challenges and difficulties

Doolittle fears of becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance herself or deny her needs for relationships of closeness and intimacy so that she will not be vulnerable to rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, Hilda Doolittle 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 H.D..

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague H.D.. She strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for her.

On another level entirely, Hilda Doolittle is very careful about joining forces, and especially her material resources, with others. Doolittle wants to keep her own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

She is a bit skeptical, somewhat irritable, and others may think of Hilda Doolittle as quarrelsome or nagging. Her nervousness seems to stem from her tendency to over-work herself, and Doolittle should try not to make more demands on others than they are able to handle.

Not very adaptable, Hilda Doolittle tends to be rebellious and fight hard against oppression. This could even lead to violent incidents, so H.D. should try to keep her temper under control. She may have to work extremely hard and may have a lot of responsibilities that she cannot let go.

The direction Hilda Doolittle needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Her natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing her situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing her situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Hilda Doolittle copes with stress. Hilda Doolittle also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

Her development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Hilda Doolittle to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.
