Sonja Henie
challenges and difficulties

Henie either overvalues or undervalues her possessions and assets. She can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Sonja Henie may deny herself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of her labors. She may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Sonja Henie feels that she does not have "enough" to make her feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) she has!

Sonja Henie takes both her work and her health very seriously, but she may demand so much of herself at work that she compromises her health. Sonja can become a workaholic, not so much because she has lofty ambitions, but because she never feels like she has done enough. Sonja Henie is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that she may not enjoy it at all.

Henie can also get overly involved in self-improvement or her health, and she tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

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

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to Sonja Henie - so much so that she seeks them out at her own expense. When she is under stress, Henie tends to look outside herself for approval or answers, and she leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge her own path through life is a key factor in her self-development.

Sonja Henie is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about her intentions or desires, and she can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of Henie's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Sonja Henie needs to cultivate her ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on her own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

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

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

Sonja Henie should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put herself "out there", be seen and shine. Sonja needs to be willing to take on a leading role. She needs to be a hero - a protagonist in her own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities she possesses. Doing creative work that she is proud of - anything that comes from Henie's heart and bears the stamp of Henie's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than she is a way for Sonja Henie to grow and become more whole herself.

She may have an inner fear of separation and could feel left out or ignored at times. Either Sonja Henie did not receive much affection while she was growing up or it had to be shared with others. Sonja may find it difficult to show her love in her relationships.
