Lorraine Bracco
challenges and difficulties

Bracco both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable to others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting them get to know her intimately does not come easily to Lorraine, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Lorraine Bracco is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Bracco.

She is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with her duty, her public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Lorraine Bracco 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 Lorraine Bracco 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.

Basically shy, Bracco tends to be somewhat inhibited in love relationships and may feel uncomfortable or awkward expressing her love for someone. Lorraine Bracco longs for love relationships and dreams about love, but is also inclined to torment herself because of a seeming lack of affection.

She is not afraid of hard work and leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of her objectives. Lorraine Bracco has a strong desire to overcome any difficulties or obstacles in her way and will do this at all cost, even if it means having to use force.

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

Lorraine Bracco has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that she is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Lorraine Bracco 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. Lorraine Bracco needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in her relationships with others that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Lorraine Bracco between acting spontaneously and being true to herself versus modifying herself or her behavior to suit others. Lorraine Bracco seesaws between being inordinately concerned with her self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about her. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Bracco's task.
