Julian McMahon
challenges and difficulties

Julian has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for McMahon.

Julian McMahon takes his commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. His strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes McMahon a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but he often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between him and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Julian McMahon and it may seem that he is always "working on" his marriage rather than enjoying it. However, McMahon will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

The side of Julian McMahon that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Julian finds it hard to relax. Julian McMahon may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. McMahon's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

At times Julian McMahon struggles with nebulous worries and insecurities, fears which may be difficult to name. Mostly, he may be afraid of getting acquainted with the inner workings of his mind and soul, feeling uneasy with anything irrational or intangible. Julian McMahon has to work hard to overcome being overly serious regarding the spiritual side of life, especially if his religious upbringing emphasized guilt and retribution. Reorienting himself in the direction of spiritual optimism will do much to lift the cloud of worry that settles over Julian occasionally.

He is somewhat pessimistic and prone to states of depression. Julian McMahon may feel like withdrawing from everything and that he is not adequately equipped to handle his life. He may need someone else's point of view to balance his overly pessimistic outlook.

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

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to Julian McMahon - so much so that he seeks them out at his own expense. When he is under stress, McMahon tends to look outside himself for approval or answers, and he leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge his own path through life is a key factor in his self-development.

Julian McMahon is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about his intentions or desires, and he can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of McMahon's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Julian McMahon needs to cultivate his ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on his own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

It is in his work and his relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into McMahon's work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.
