If Lauren Godwin really wants to improve and transform herself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding her back and preventing her evolution:
– her preference for illusion
– her hypersensitivity
– her emotionalism
– her lack of self-confidence
– her guilt

Lauren Godwin may experience discord in relationships. Although Lauren is friendly and outgoing and commits herself to friendships and partnerships, she often finds it difficult to balance her own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs.

To understand and overcome this problem, Lauren should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If Lauren succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship she and her partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

For Lauren Godwin, healthy emotional development will require a conscious adaptation, because she is still the captive of sensations which have never been clarified, and, as a result, her sensitivity cannot really blossom fully. Although she seeks close relationships and intimacy with people she trusts to give her love and support, she sometimes feels alienated from other people and may withdraw into a remote bubble. Were she to open herself fully to the world of relations with others, by the means of continual, subtle changes, she could prepare herself for a total metamorphosis of her destiny. Both her sensitivity and her relationships would have access to a new path, more altruistic, open, and dedicated to others.
