Piper Perabo
challenges and difficulties

She is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing herself freely and openly is not easy for Perabo. Piper Perabo tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of her "performance" is an important task for Piper.

Piper Perabo takes her commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Her strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Perabo a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but she often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between her and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Piper Perabo and it may seem that she is always "working on" her marriage rather than enjoying it. However, Perabo will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

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

Social skills and graces and what Piper Perabo calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Piper Perabo 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 fostering a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether through religious or philosophical studies, education or the wisdom of distant lands or cultures that Piper Perabo is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Piper Perabo needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Perabo.

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

She needs to give and receive affection, love and pleasure (primarily with the qualities described previously). Piper Perabo has to learn to respond to, appreciate and create beauty, art, harmonious surroundings and relationships. She needs to be aware of aesthetics and to do things in a gracious, pleasing manner. Piper Perabo has to start enjoying life, nurturing friendships and cultivating her ability to love and to receive love.

Piper Perabo'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 Perabo'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 Piper.
