For any type, when typical negative experiences recur, certain issues become more important than others. The Big Issues for the Wood type are:

Power

Boundaries

Correctness

Growth

Development

To say that these are Big Issues is to say that in any situation, particularly one of stress, the Wood type will almost automatically be concerned with who has the power or control, what are the boundaries, what is correct behaviour and how to develop and grow. Depending on the strategies the Wood type has chosen, some of these will be more important than others.

Another way of expressing the internal experience of someone whose Wood is constitutionally impaired is that they begin, to varying degrees, to carry certain unanswered questions such as:

Why can’t I have what I want?

How should things be organized?

Why am I blocked or stopped in this way?

What do I really want?

What is the point in trying when I know I cannot have it?

For the non-Wood type, there are answers to these questions. For the Wood type, these questions keep recurring, and to varying degrees do not get answered. The difficulty in finding answers to these questions can lead a Wood type to develop various life-patterns or strategies.
