Our will to survive is primal and innate, but it isn’t limited to physical threats to our life. Early in our lives, our defense mechanisms can feel like tools for our very survival. However, as we grow up, these same psychological defenses can start to hurt rather than help us. This workshop will introduce you to the 20 most common Defense, or Psychological, Mechanisms. Do you take your feelings out on others? Do you justify an unacceptable feeling or behavior with logic? Or do you avoid reality by retreating to a safe place within your mind? By the end of 4 weeks, you will develop a greater self-awareness and learn effective coping skills. While parting with your defense mechanisms may mean coming face to face with addiction or giving up control over a situation, you’ll be taking a step closer to learning to live with your feelings. Join us Wednesdays in September!
