Yvette Guilbert
challenges and difficulties

Guilbert both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable with others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting herself be known in a deep way does not come easily to Yvette, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Yvette Guilbert is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Guilbert.

She may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Yvette Guilbert does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend herself from its dangers and its unknowns. Yvette Guilbert 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.

Yvette Guilbert feels that she must work very hard and struggle against tremendous odds that impede her chances of fulfilling her life's ambitions. Yvette may adopt a very hard, cynical, or nihilistic attitude that will only drag her down further. There are major problems with her father or figures of authority. Yvette Guilbert may fail simply to spite "them", without realizing that she is primarily hurting herself. If she can overcome her feelings of loneliness, bitterness or isolation, and direct her energies toward constructive endeavors, Guilbert can be immensely effective because of her tremendous tenacity and potential for achievement.

Her disposition is somewhat melancholic and Yvette Guilbert could have a rather pessimistic outlook. Yvette has an inner need to be alone and to deeply meditate on her thoughts. Yvette Guilbert takes life seriously and may have been taught early on to learn from her mistakes.

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

Social skills and graces and what Yvette Guilbert calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Yvette Guilbert 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 her public life and career that Yvette Guilbert is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Guilbert's reputation and standing in her community or professional circle, as well as how Yvette Guilbert achieves her important life goals and aspirations.

Yvette Guilbert tends to feel sad a lot of times and may sympathize with people who are "in the same boat". She is likely to cling to old things and wants to pass on her traditions.
