Josh Duhamel
challenges and difficulties

Josh is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

It may be difficult for Josh Duhamel to play spontaneously or just let his hair down, for he tends to inhibit that side of his by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression he is making.

Josh may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for he wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged and recognized as special in some way. Though he may indeed be outstanding, Josh Duhamel also needs to learn to relax and enjoy himself more.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Josh Duhamel instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Josh Duhamel needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Josh Duhamel needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in his relationships with others that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Josh Duhamel between acting spontaneously and being true to himself versus modifying himself or his behavior to suit others.
