Paula Prentiss
challenges and difficulties

Paula has difficulty asserting her will and desires directly and openly. She may also suppress her anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in herself are important tasks for Prentiss.

Paula may be plagued by fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death. She strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for her.

On another level entirely, Paula Prentiss is very careful about joining forces, and especially her material resources, with others. Prentiss wants to keep her own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Her vitality tends to be a bit low and Paula may have to fight against the tendency to be inactive. Easily discouraged, Paula Prentiss is inclined toward pessimism. Perhaps her upbringing was too authoritative, causing problems in her relationship with her parents.

Paula Prentiss tends to suppress her feelings and may be somewhat inhibited in love relationships. She may often feel rejected or she may give the impression of rejecting others herself. Perhaps her mother or father found it difficult to express their affection.

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

She is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on her path, but when under stress Paula Prentiss becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what she has, she is apt to ignore the subtle signals she receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Paula Prentiss needs to learn the limits of her ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for her. Prentiss also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Paula Prentiss tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

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