Shelley Winters
challenges and difficulties

Shelley Winters has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Winters knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Shelley Winters may be something of a hypochondriac also. Shelley must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

Her childhood or her relationships with her parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent Shelley from allowing other people to get close to her in later life. Shelley Winters felt deprived in some manner, whether or not she actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of her needs and feelings may typify her early life, at least as Winters remembers it. Forgiving her parents and/or letting go of any resentments she has about the limitations that she experienced early in her life is crucial. Also, Shelley Winters needs to build her own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into her home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Shelley accomplish this.

She may feel inhibited in her relationships with others and give the impression of being unapproachable and wanting to keeps her distance. Shelley Winters thinks about her feelings a long time before she expresses them to anyone and she tends to hide her inner self.

She is not afraid of hard work and leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of her objectives. Shelley Winters 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 Shelley Winters 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 Shelley Winters 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 Shelley Winters 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.

Shelley Winters 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. Winters also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Shelley Winters tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

It is in her work and her relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into Winters' work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.
