text: Frank Iero challenges
  Frank Iero takes his personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing experience. He may feel that relationships in general require more of him than they are worth, and Frank enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Frank Iero also fears entrapment in close relationships.
  His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Frank Iero may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to him. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Frank may tenaciously cling to his grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.
  His overall outlook on life is serious, and Frank Iero may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his step!
  Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Frank Iero instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Frank Iero needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.
  When under stress, Frank Iero is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.
  Fostering his tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Frank Iero's growth. Frank Iero needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both himself and others. Letting himself be taken care of sometimes is okay!
  It is in his marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. He may see the qualities that he needs to develop more fully (described above) in his partner. It is important for Frank Iero to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in his life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them himself. Frank Iero has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about himself through others.
