James Holzier
challenges and difficulties

He is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that he discourages himself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Holzier knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. James Holzier may be something of a hypochondriac also. James must learn that he does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax his unnecessarily high or strict standards.

When under stress James Holzier is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group.
