KaDee Strickland
challenges and difficulties

KaDee Strickland has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Strickland knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyzes or picks things apart mentally. KaDee Strickland may also be somewhat of a hypochondriac. KaDee must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

KaDee Strickland takes both her work and her health very seriously, but she may demand so much of herself at work that she compromises her health. KaDee can become a workaholic, not so much because she has lofty ambitions, but because she never feels like she has done enough. KaDee Strickland is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that she may not enjoy it at all.

Strickland can also get overly involved in self-improvement or her health, and she tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which KaDee Strickland 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 KaDee Strickland 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, KaDee stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. KaDee Strickland 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 KaDee Strickland feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what KaDee Strickland calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. KaDee Strickland 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 her marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. She may see the qualities that she needs to develop more fully (described above) in her partner. It is important for KaDee Strickland to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. KaDee Strickland has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.

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

KaDee Strickland's path to wholeness involves confronting her dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming herself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of Strickland's willingness to experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and pain. Furthermore, bringing light to the darkness and pain in the world without becoming overwhelmed by it is a significant challenge for KaDee.

KaDee has an extremely magnetic personality along with strong sexual attraction. KaDee Strickland tends to put her heart and soul into her work and may prefer to work with partners of the opposite sex.

Her relationships with others may be rather unstable and unreliable. With a somewhat negative attitude and weak will, KaDee Strickland avoids opposition and escapes her responsibilities. In her relationships she is likely to choose people who are asocial.
