Spanky McFarlane
challenges and difficulties

It is as if Spanky McFarlane does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Spanky McFarlane must learn to overcome her ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

She is serious and sincere about her interests, does not accept superficial answers and is not easily placated. Elaine wants her inspirations to become reality and she does not mind upsetting a few apple carts in the process. Spanky McFarlane becomes impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and her occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

Her emotional life is likely to be somewhat strained and she has a tendency toward pessimism. Spanky McFarlane may not feel as close in her relationships to her loved ones as she would like to be, and it could be difficult for Elaine to give and receive love.

The direction Spanky McFarlane needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Her natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing her situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing her situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Spanky McFarlane copes with stress. Spanky McFarlane also has trouble setting limits and saying no.
