Katharine Graham
challenges and difficulties

Graham fears of becoming emotionally dependent upon others, and may distance herself or deny her needs for relationships of closeness and intimacy so that she will not be vulnerable to rejection or abandonment. On the other hand, Katharine Graham 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 Katherine.

She is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with her duty, her public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Katharine Graham understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and she is capable of much self-discipline and patience once she sets her sights on a goal.

But Katharine Graham is very judgmental and hard on herself if she fails to attain success, and she can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize her efforts.

Katharine Graham takes her ideals and dreams very seriously and goes through periods of fervent dedication to a lofty ideal or vision. Katherine has the ability to acquire true spiritual or imaginative insight, but she can also become so involved in her imaginative, idealistic pursuits that she looses perspective and develops feelings of alienation and isolation.

She is inclined to be somewhat withdrawn and has a hard time discussing important matters with her family and close relationships. A serious and deep thinker, Katharine Graham would like to explain her views to others, but has a difficult time finding the right words.

Very cautious and reserved, Katharine Graham could find it difficult to express herself. She is a bit inhibited around others and does not seem to get much cooperation from them, causing Katherine to be disappointed.

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

Katharine Graham has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Katharine Graham needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, she has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, she may encourage others to depend on her emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Katharine Graham needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

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

The specific habits which are likely to hold Katharine Graham back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

The tendency for self-indulgence, laziness, and over-reliance on the generosity or affection of others, as well as making love relationships, social life and superficial pleasures more important than anything else in her life.
