Ivana Spagna
challenges and difficulties

Spagna 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 Ivana, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Ivana Spagna 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 Spagna.

Spagna is generally not a "joiner" and she does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Ivana Spagna does participate in a group, she may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or she may simply feel that she does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Ivana Spagna better than being with groups of her own peers.

She is subject to rash decisions and impulsive actions that may have sudden, unexpected consequences and undesirable results. As she lacks the capacity to adapt, Ivana Spagna may encounter considerable tension in her relationships and is likely to have disputes or even violent fights with others.

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

Ivana Spagna has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Ivana Spagna needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, she has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Ivana Spagna needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

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 Ivana Spagna between acting spontaneously and being true to herself versus modifying herself or her behavior to suit others. Ivana Spagna 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 Spagna's task.
