John Holmes
challenges and difficulties

Holmes 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, John Holmes 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 John.

His childhood or his relationships with his parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent John from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. John Holmes felt deprived in some manner, whether or not he actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of his needs and feelings may typify his early life, at least as Holmes remembers it. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, John Holmes needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help John accomplish this.

John Holmes strives and struggles a great deal with his ideals or spiritual aspirations.

When he is with others, John Holmes often may suddenly become inhibited. He is inclined to be afraid of confrontations and probably will avoid group activities as much as possible.

When under stress, John Holmes is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.
