If Alicia Etheridge wants to improve herself, she needs to be aware of her weaknesses- her need to bluff, her inability to manage certain things, her instability, and her unwillingness to change certain opinions.

Alicia Etheridge often finds herself struggling to balance the demands of her social and professional lives with her need for a stable, secure domestic life. Although she is committed to both ideas, she sometimes finds it difficult to reconcile their schedules and demands on her. Sometimes it feels like she will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will really satisfy her if she neglects her most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to her to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if she sacrifices her domestic life, she is only trying to fool herself. She should accept the fact that her domestic life is the true basis and foundation of her development. All her career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Alicia Etheridge may experience discord in relationships. Although she 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, she 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 she 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.
