LISTEN TO THE SHOW:
Your brain is designed to protect you from painful thoughts and emotions by keeping them out of your conscious awareness.
Sigmund Freud first identified nine psychological defense mechanisms, also called ego defenses, and many psychoanalysts have added more over time.
Tune in to today’s episode, where I talk about four common defense mechanisms that can impact your relationships, how to become more aware of them in your own life, and what to do the next time you feel defensive.
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER:
- What defense mechanisms are and why you have them.
- 4 of the defenses I see most often in my clients and examples of each.
- What to do the next time you find yourself feeling defensive to ‘disarm’ your defenses.
