The other topics are coming up soon.
Defense mechanism protect us from perceived threat. That threat may be something minor or it may be something major. But the defense mechanism is being used to protect you, minimize a threat, or deflect the truth. Defense mechanisms are also used by many adults who have been the victim of childhood trauma.
When a child is traumatized and not properly helped/healed it is very easy for them to "create" their own way of coping. That "coping" may include a series of defense mechanisms that ultimately brings harm, emotional detachment, and further trauma.
In this video, I will be discussing 3 categories of defense mechanisms including some of Sigmund Freud's logical defense mechanisms we all may use.
