Joan Bennett
challenges and difficulties

Joan has difficulty asserting her will and desires directly and openly. She may also suppress her anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in herself are important tasks for Bennett.

Bennett 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 Joan Bennett 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 Joan Bennett better than being with groups of her own peers.

Joan Bennett becomes tense and upset rather easily. She becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In her eagerness to see her inspirations materialize, Bennett is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving her goals. Her occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Joan Bennett strives and struggles a great deal with her ideals or spiritual aspirations. She may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or she may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, she can never quite divorce herself from her idealistic concerns.

Because of her inner reserve and basic shyness, Joan Bennett appears to lack adaptability and is a bit inhibited in dealing with other people. Her approach is somewhat serious and it is difficult for Joan to face the public.

She is inclined to be somewhat withdrawn and has a hard time discussing important matters with her family and close relationships. A serious and deep thinker, Joan Bennett would like to explain her views to others, but has a difficult time finding the right words.

At some time in her life Joan Bennett could have a possible tragedy in love relationships that affects her deeply. Some disturbing experiences may rest heavily on her shoulders and as a result, Joan may turn cold or bitter.

She is somewhat pessimistic and prone to states of depression. Joan Bennett may feel like withdrawing from everything and that she is not adequately equipped to handle her life. She may need someone else's point of view to balance her overly pessimistic outlook.

Joan wants to go her own way and tends to withdraw into herself. She prefers to be alone and tends to cut herself off from other people. Joan Bennett could be a bit too serious and conservative.

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

Joan Bennett needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Joan's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Bennett's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Joan Bennett to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Joan Bennett is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Joan Bennett needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!

It is deep within herself, as Joan Bennett faces her own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of her life that Joan Bennett 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.
