Patty Hearst
challenges and difficulties

Hearst 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 Patty, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Patty Hearst 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 Hearst.

She is serious by nature, and may have difficulty making small talk or participating in friendly, personal exchanges.

Patty Hearst tries to be strictly accurate and is critical of people who exaggerate or discuss subjects they really know little about. Hearst withholds her thoughts and opinions until she has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Patty's silence discomforts others.

Her mental concentration is very good but her breadth of understanding may not be.

Her upbringing may have been either too demanding or somewhat lax. Patty Hearst resists any attempt to restrict her freedom and has the ability to devote extraordinary efforts toward overcoming any inhibitions or difficulties that she may have.

Since she lacks the capacity to adapt, Patty Hearst tends to be rebellious and fight hard against oppression. This could even lead to violent incidents, so Patty should try to keep her temper at bay. She may have to work extremely hard and handle a great many responsibilities.

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

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

The arena she is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Patty Hearst should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials she feels she possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

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

Going to extremes, willful rebelliousness and an instinctive anti-authoritarian attitude. Patty Hearst seeks constant (and often purposeless) movement or change, involvement with unreliable people, and individual freedom at any cost.
