Judy Garland
challenges and difficulties

Judy Garland takes her personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing. She may feel that relationships in general require more of her than they are worth, and Judy enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Judy Garland also fears entrapment in close relationships.

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

She may feel inhibited in her relationships with others and give the impression of being unapproachable and wanting to keeps her distance. Judy Garland thinks about her feelings a long time before she expresses them to anyone and she tends to hide her inner self.

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

Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Judy stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Judy Garland has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Judy Garland feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Judy Garland calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Judy Garland needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Garland's inner, personal life and her career or involvement with the world at large that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Judy Garland needs to focus attention on her home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.

The following are specific activities that will support Judy Garland in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Garland, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Judy Garland should develop faith and confidence both in herself and in a higher power that can guide, nourish, and help her. She needs to expand her willingness to dream and envision better things in life by studying religion, philosophy and other subjects that enable her to acquire a larger, more inclusive view of the world.

Being generous with her time, energy and resources in helping others achieve a better life will in turn benefit Judy Garland.

Judy Garland should foster self-discipline and learn to handle responsibility. She may shoulder an inordinate amount of responsibility as well as burdens that sometimes limit Garland's activities and opportunities in life. However, this is a maturing and ultimately empowering process. She is also likely to be offered positions of tremendous responsibility, whether Judy really wants such jobs or not, usually because she has invested real effort and made some sort of substantial contribution.

There may be considerable obstacles in her path - more adversity than others seem to face - and Garland's task is to learn to cope with pressure and persevere.
