Episode 106: Defense Mechanisms

Have you ever wondered why you react a certain way in stressful situations? Or why sometimes you seem to push uncomfortable thoughts out of your mind? These responses are often the result of defense mechanisms.

Defense mechanisms are subconscious strategies that our mind uses to protect us from anxiety, uncomfortable thoughts, or feelings. They shape the way we interact with the world and can significantly influence our behavior and relationships.

In this episode, we'll talk through some of the most common defense mechanisms, such as denial, repression, projection, and rationalization. We'll explore how these mechanisms manifest in our daily lives, their origins, and the role they play in our psychological well-being.

Whether you're a psychology enthusiast, a student, or someone seeking to understand themselves better, this episode will provide valuable insights into the complex machinery of the human psyche.
